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?

Make sure you have plugin.log enabled on the layer. What does it say? If there is a problem compiling or loading the plugin, there will be an error.

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?

 

[23:37:29 61] [MULTIbalancer]:2 FINAL STATUS FOR PREVIOUS ROUND:

[23:37:29 61] [MULTIbalancer]:0 Status: Map = Paracel Storm, mode = Conquest Small, time in round = 00:14:53, tickets = 263/0

[23:37:29 61] [MULTIbalancer]:0 Status: Ticket difference = 263, ticket ratio percentage is 5000%

[23:37:29 61] [MULTIbalancer]:0 Status: 0/6 raged, 0 reassigned, 1 balanced, 3 unstacked, 2 unswitched, 17 excluded, 104 exempted, 0 failed; of 160 TOTAL

[23:37:29 61] [MULTIbalancer]:0 Status: Team counts [39] = 20(US) vs 19(RU), with 1 unassigned

Having a high number of exemptions is normal. Exemption just means that at the time of considering that particular player's death, there was a temporary reason to exempt him, like, he's a weak player and the target team happened to be losing at that point, or its late in the round and the balance speed is Stop, etc.

 

Exclusions are permanent. They don't change, like a player being on the Whitelist, or they change infrequently, like having the same tags as other players in the squad.

 

In terms of "good as a typical round", it depends on what you are shooting for. You have 0 rage quits, so that's good. Only 1 player got balance moved, so your server was probably balanced for the whole round. Those are positives.

 

Negatives are that the round was only 15 minutes for 40 players on a Conquest Small map, that's a bit on the short side. The ticket differences of 263 to 0 on a 400 ticket map is pretty much a lopsided win, so that's not so good.

I set it up with the wizard for CQ Large minimum is 800 and maximum tickets also 800

 

Now the Max Unstacking Ticket Difference is set to 400? is that correct? When the difference is 400 of 800 tickets then unstacking is disabled?

 

Thanks and Greez

I'm not sure how to explain it any more clearly than that. Perhaps a review of unstacking itself would help? This is from the top section of post #1, under heading Unstacking:

 

Stacking refers to one team having more strong players than the other team. The result of stacked teams is lopsided wins and usually rage quitting from the losing team or attempts to switch to the winning team. If unstacking is enabled and the Ticket Percentage (Ratio) is exceeded, the plugin will attempt to unstack teams. To unstack teams, a strong player is selected from the winning team and is moved to the losing team. Then, a weak player is selected from the losing team and moved to the winning team. This is repeated until the round ends, or teams become unbalanced, or Max Unstacking Swaps Per Round is reached, whichever comes first.

Normally, unstacking is controlled by ticket percentage. For example, on an 800 max ticket round, if the winner has 600 tickets left and the loser has 400 tickets left, 600/400 is 150%. So if you had set your ticket tercentage to 120%, unstacking would be triggered and players would be moved, strong players to the losing side, weak players to the winning side, per your other settings.

 

But what if the gap in tickets is huge? What if there is no chance the losing team can catch up to the winning team by doing unstacking swaps? Then it becomes unfair to move weak players to the winning side, and even worse, strong players to the losing side, right? That's what Max Unstacking Ticket Difference is for, to guard against the situation where the ticket percentage says that unstacking should happen, but the gap in tickets is so large that swapping players would be unfair.

 

So a value of 400 for an 800 ticket server means that if the winning side has, for example, 750 tickets and the losing side has 250 tickets, that's a ticket percentage ratio of 750/250 or 300%, easily triggering unstacking set to 120%. But since 750-250 = 500, which is greater than 400, unstacking would not be triggered, because the gap would be too large.

 

Clear? If you don't like 400, you can change it -- I suppose lowering is slightly, like to 300 might be okay. I wouldn't make it much higher than 400, though. Whatever you think the gap is that would make it impossible for the losing team to catch up.

You need to say more about what you mean by "good"?

 

What's the overall goal? Retain players and keep people from quitting or complaining? Close games (rounds that end with 50 ticket difference or less), even if it means a lot of complaining and rage quitting? Just plain old balancing? Scrambling between rounds? Keeping friends together even if they don't have the same tags? Splitting up known gangs of owning players?

 

There are a lot of things to consider.

sorry PC, I uploaded 2 pics after you posted...

 

I don't experience much rage quitting, complaining yes but mostly from game issues etc. My goal is to have close rounds, 50 or less would be ideal, split up gangs? Yeah that might be nice aspect to have, but keep friends and clan tags together. Regarding balancing, I'm still a bit of a n00b at the types of balancing, but something that will keep most happy with any moves. Golrud is an awesome map and provides some really good action for all vehicles and right now is usually full 24/7.

There's an unavoidable decision you have to make. Keeping games close via unstacking generates complaints and rage quitting. You can't have one without the other.

 

Even if you are willing to accept the complaints and rage quitting, it takes a lot of work fine-tuning a server to get consistently close games with unstacking. It's possible, but if you look for posts in this thread by Blitz and OscarMike, you'll see that they spent several days, if not weeks, tweaking their settings until they got the close games they wanted.

 

I'm not trying to discourage you, just making sure you understand what it is going to take to achieve that goal. There's no magic formula or one golden set of settings that works for every situation. It's all a matter of tuning and tweaking to get to what you consider a fair game.

No, your settings look fine and your round ending looks fine.

 

EDIT: Oops, wait, you have AllTime stats fetching enabled, but you are using RoundSPM for Strong. You don't need AllTime if you use Round* stats. AllTime is for BattlelogSPM, etc. Change AllTime to ClanTagOnly.

Thanks, that is encouraging. I'm looking for closer matches but work in progress, thanks PC.

 

EDIT: Ok, will change AllTime setting, thank you! Oh and here are my other settings if this helps:

Question on the presets, is what I have correct? Or would I set it at 1200/1200 for "Lowest, Highest" max tickets for mode?

Do you have any other plugin running? It's telling you that someone, an admin or a plugin, moved a player and that MB will respect that move and not switch the player back to their original team.

I think I discovered the flaw. The 4th layer was recently re-installed as it was causing some severe root server errors. I guess during the installation process some read/write permissions on the layer FTP got erased. Will have to contact my host to figure out what is going on though. Not quite sure I have enough permissions on this particular layer ftp to create the path manually.

What do you mean by "apply settings"? Did you use the wizard more than once for one mode? You are only supposed to use it once. If you make changes to the mode later, you shouldn't run the wizard again. The wizard just gets you started. If you do tweaking and then apply the wizard again, you will lose your tweaks.

Plugins enabled are: adkats, spambot, multibalance, and proconrulz (proconrulz is only taking PBSS and announcing kill streaks)

One possibility is that this is the game server moving the player to complete a delayed Join on Friend. The game server is now much more actively involved in join on friend and tries really, really hard to make it happen, even if it has to isolate the joiner in a squad by himself for a whole round and completing the join at the end of the round.

 

Over the last week of logging my server, I see about 200 instances of that message in the logs, compared to about 25 BALANCE messages. So it does happen a lot, relative to balancing moves.

 

Unfortunately, the logging level is 2 for that message, where BALANCE is level 3, so you are going to see it in your log a lot. You can try reducing your Debug Level to 1 if it bothers you. Or just ignore it. I'll change it in the next version to level 4.

I just installed and will give it a try today. We ran your beta and it has been working good. Our server stayed full all day yesterday till it crashed this morning at about 5:45a.m.

 

We have a 48 player BF4 Server. Just running conquest large right now. We took Shangi and Dawn out of the mix right now cause of all the disconnects.

 

Any tips on running the new balancer? We want friends and clans to stay together but also try and have close games.

I read through your manual and have done a little trial and error. It's been working good for the most part but have had a few complaints about being shifted during the match. We understand there is no perfect balance. Tough to balance clans sticking together and not rolling on a team. Any tips would be great but again we thank you thank you for your hard work!!

 

Come join us on Jambi Land anytime! ;-)

OIC now, my bad thank you PC, quick question, on "Lowest and Highest Maximum Tickets For Modes", should these settings be identical for a 24/7 server, e.g. 1200 for mine? For mys etup, a 24/7 Golrud CQ Large, would you recommend enabling uninstalling and scrambler? I've had them both off until now, and rounds do more than not end in large gaps in tickets.

 

I'm using the "Intensify" preset along with a few tweaks but what is everyone using for "Preferred Style of Balancing" ? With Golrud CQ 70, it's so wide open, so much going on, I really need something appropriate for this type of map/mode.
