Put me down for a "maybe" as a potential test server admin. Just setup our Scan Gaming launch BF4 servers. Once I know whats available I'll see if we can help each other out.

USE THE OFFICIAL 1.0.7.0 RELEASE IN POST #1

 

Overnight testing on BF3 and BF4 servers looks good.

This beta test version works for both BF3 and BF4. So take that into consideration. If you are controlling both BF3 and BF4 servers from a single Procon instance, you will be exposing your BF3 servers to this beta plugin. That said, relatively few code changes were necessary and I didn't have to disable as much as I thought I'd have to, so I'm changing my mind again and sticking with just one version of the plugin for both BF3 and BF4.

 

CHANGES

  • Added detection code that determines if the plugin is connected to a BF3 or BF4 server
  • Added preliminary per-mode defaults for Section 8 settings
  • Made max squad size depend on BF3 vs BF4
  • Updated clan tag fetching to new Battlelog format
  • Updated Battlelog stats fetching to new Battlelog format
  • Fixed known issues (per-mode validation ERRORs, Rush exception)

FEATURES DISABLED FOR BF4 UNTIL TESTING/FIXING IS COMPLETE

  • Reassignment moves: this could result in your server staying unbalanced for longer than comparable BF3
  • Scrambler
  • Usage of BattlelogCache
  • Yell settings for messages: yell is not currently supported in BF4

Don't even think about enabling balancing for any modes other than BF3 modes -- we have no idea how Defuse or Obliteration are going to work. This is particularly true for unstacking new modes.

 

It's recommended but not required that you use a separate Procon instance to try out this plugin. You should also use Procon RC 1.4.1.1 or later.

 

EDIT: USE THE OFFICIAL 1.0.7.0 RELEASE!

64 is the still max players for any mode. You can't set a server to 70 players.

 

No, BC is not working yet. Patience.

An unrelated question for you please:

 

Not to offend or anything of the sort, but would you please consider using smaller bars for your game-servers signature, like so:

KNOWN ISSUE

 

There is a known bug in validation of max players for per-mode settings. Workaround: set the setting back to what you need it to be.

 

Code: 

[20:52:06 12] [MULTIbalancer]:0 ERROR: Domination:Definition Of High Population For Players must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 20, was set to 24, corrected to 20
[20:52:06 12] [MULTIbalancer]:0 ERROR: Team Deathmatch:Definition Of High Population For Players must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 20, was set to 48, corrected to 20

I've re-enabled Battlelog stats fetching. So now both clan tag and stats fetching are working.

 

Please test and report issues here, but keep in mind the overall release plan:

 

October 29-30: fix blocking issues

 

October 31-November 4: Hiatus, I'm offline

 

November 5+: Back online, fix more issues found to date

The beta is looking pretty solid.

it comes out as something like

 

[ADMIN] JoeBlowRandomPlayer > Moved PapaCharlieNiner for balance ...

 

To minimize confusion and until this issue is fixed in a game server update, I recommend you set Quiet Mode in section 5 to True. That limits the chat message to only the player being moved. It will still confuse that player, but at least only that player will be confused.

Agreed! At this stage no need, but I imagine as the rush dies down in a month or two, the answer will be yes! :smile:

I'm looking for a plugin that will prioritize putting my clan members in the same team on map switches. It looked like this addon can do it but not without the scrambler between maps as people join/leave. Is there another plugin that will do that?

It's disabled because testing isn't completed on BF4 yet, I'm working on it. Read the BF4 Update linked in post #1. Testing is looking good on Conquest, but I haven't tried the other game modes yet. Your patience will be appreciated.

It's np, being patient :P. Was more curious if it was something that couldn't be done at all with BF4 or something that was being work on as it was just listed as "disabled." Thank you for the response and keep up the good work :biggrin:.

Before my server fills up it does indeed need the balancing. Once it's full, though, not so much.

Agreed, I don't use it for those reasons and on top of it, it's buggy so have disabled it.

Why can't my clan tag be excluded from this balancing ? It doesn't like the one entry for some unknown reason and I can't remove it once I have put it in the plugin

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html

      I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
