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

What are you trying to do? The Friends list is mainly for players who do not have the same tags. To remove the error, add a second name to the line, like make the line be:

 

BF4B dummy

 

If all you want to do is whitelist your clan, put BF4B in the Whitelist.

 

You might try reading the documentation in post #1 as well.

Use the Enable Settings Wizard. That's what I've been doing.

Yes I gathered that but was asking specific settings (that actually work) for this amount of tickets, thanks PC.

 

Boy I don't know what happened, but I stopped my layer deleted the plugin and it's .dll, restarted and it's fine. But when I place the plugin back on the layer and restart it, it crashes the layers

What do you mean "that actually work_" My server is working fine with Wizard settings.

Find your Debug.txt on your layer and post it. It will show why the layer crashed. It's usually in the procon folder top level.

Ok, seems to be starting up now with no crashing, guess 3rd time was the charm. I deleted the debug.txt file as there was so much stuff in there it was hard to tell. If it crashes then can post. For settings, wasn't referring so much to if they worked period but rather what settings will work optimally for CQ 64 for BF4, just plain "Wizzard" settings, no changes to default? thanks.

Only if DICE allows server admins to actually be server admins in BF4. Right now pretty much all actions are limited in official servers including the move function which this plugin NEEDS.

Not as OFFICIAL is officially defined currently, no. OFFICIAL turns off the commands that the plugin needs to move players.

Yes, I know. It's on the to-do list. This is going to be hard to fix, since the mapping of team number to name changes for each map! AND admins can override the setting if they want. So if you want US vs RU on Siege of Shanghai, you can do that (theoretically, based on the documentation).

If you don't want to see that error anymore, set Enable External Logging to False. Or figure out what you don't have write-permission.

It can't hurt!

 

I need to finish fixing MULTIbalancer before I can spend any time on Insane Limits. It's on my to-do list, I haven't forgotten.

On a Ranked server? My understanding is that the max on a Ranked server is still 64. Do you have a Battlelog or GameTracker link for a server that has more than 64 player slots?

 

EDIT: my own server was empty, so I gave this a try. It turns out you can indeed set vars.maxPlayers higher than 64 with a map rotation that is 100% ConquestLarge0, however, the server comes up Custom in Battlelog. If vars.preset "Normal" is set, when the next map is loaded the vars.maxPlayers is reset to 64.

 

Upshot is that I will increase the max for BF4 in MB to 70.

I need to make some additional fixes, but the next version I release in a day or two will be the final BF4 compatible version.

i have tried to install your Plugin for our new BF4 Server, probably I'm doing something wrong. I copied the MULTIbalancer.cs into my Procon\Plugins\BF4 folder, even after a restart of procon, the plugin does not appear under parent layer control. I also tried to upload the file via ftp directly on our server but the result is the same.

You are using a Procon layer? The plugin has to be installed in the correct folder on the layer host (procon/Plugins/BF4). Then you have to RESTART the Procon instance on the layer. Then you need to reconnect your client Procon to the layer. This is true for all plugins.

Those messages are shown when the plugin is DISABLED. Try enabling it, click the checkbox in the Loaded Plugins list.

Can you explain a little about the stats in the end of round report? Specifically what is the difference between an Exclusion and an Excemption? Am I getting too many exemptions here? Thanks Corsair

 

If this looking good as a typical round end?

I'm having the same problem as Trigger28,

 

I have uploaded it to the /Plugins/BF4 folder then done a restart of the procon layer (server side) and Its not showing up in the parent layer controls tab, any Iteas?
