Thanks


  • EBassie for testing and providing ideas.
  • PapaCharlie for the neato boilerplate plugin.
  • Zaeed, for his terrible suggestions.

Description


This plugin will read in a list of known DICE/DICE Friends dog tag hunters, killing (80% chance) or kicking (20% chance) them after they spawn.

 

Provided a VIP is in the server and they have a positive score above 0, then this plugin will be in effect. Otherwise, it will be like the plugin isn't running at all.

 

They will be killed or kicked, not banned to ensure they waste time waiting in queues and joining the server.

 

They will be killed or kicked at a random interval after they spawn, hopefully giving a brief illusion that the inevitable will not happen this time around.

 

The player will be kicked or killed with no messages at all by default. There is an option to enable message output with the default message "Please go fuck yourself - Love Phogue :smile:". You can modify the message in the settings.

 

The player, by default, will not be able to join any squads. This is optional though as it may conflict with existing plugins.

 

Every 60 seconds every VIP will be privately sent statistics on who has been killed/kicked because of this plugin. If no actions are taken in the last 60 seconds then the statistics will not be sent. This was done to reduce chat spam, but still let the VIP know action is being taken to protect them.

 

The list is moderated entirely by Phogue and it only contains the dog tag hunters that:


  • Have friends join your squad or team to communicate where you are
  • Have friends join your squad or team to revive you for multiple knife kills.
  • Are in a platoon that specifically hunts for these tags
  • Ignore objectives completely
  • I personally witness the previous actions.

 

People won't be added to this list if:


  • They knife some body with the tags. That's always funny as hell. You should knife MorpheusX(AUT). He loves it :smile:
  • No serious, if you see me in game don't think twice about knifing me. Come and knife me. Just don't join my game with a 400 ping, ignore the objectives and have your friends join my squad to tell you where I am. It's so annoying I wrote this plugin.

 

You should run this plugin if:


  • You have dice developer or friends tags and run a server.
  • You have developers or friends frequent your server (they will love you for running this)
  • You trust Phogue's judgment not to turn this into a personal hit list.

 

I'm no longer a tag hunter, can I get taken off this list please?


  • Please go fuck yourself - Love Phogue :smile:
The list is updated at myrcon.com. PM Phogue on the forums to add/update people.

Commands


none

 

Settings


Debug Level: 2 by default. Set to 0 to turn off debug output.

Prevent Hunter Squads: True by default. When turned on this will prevent tag hunters from squading up.

Output Poke Message: False by default. When turned on this send the ""Poke Message"" to the VIP Hunter whenever an action is taken against them. By default this runs silently so they won't know what's going on, at least until they google it.

Poke Message: The default reason of "Please go fuck yourself - Love Phogue :smile:". Set this to what you want. I prefix it in the plugin with the plugin name "[Phogue's VIP Hunter Annoyer]. It's exceptionally rare that I take credit or plaster my name on your servers, but I kinda want this :smile:

Kick Probability: 5 by default. What percentage the tag hunter has of being kicked when they spawn. Value must be between 0-100. Set to 0 to disable kicking.

Kill Probability: 5 by default. What percentage the tag hunter has of being killed when they spawn. Value must be between 0-100. Set to 0 to disable killing.

Protection Enabled Message: The default text of ""VIP protection enabled."". This message will be sent to a VIP when protection is enabled or when they join while protection is already enabled.

 

Installed on the following servers

Changelog

1.0.6.1 (13-AUG-2013)

 

  • Removed the message when hunters join a server. Since this plugin isn't controlled by the people that would receive the chat spam it isn't fair to impose the spam on them. Also, considering the player has a summarized message every 60 seconds they will find out who the tag hunters are anyway when the plugin takes action.
1.0.6.0 (13-AUG-2013)

 

  • Added an option to enable/disable a message for the tag hunter about why the were killed/kicked/removed from a squad. This option is set to silent by default (so they don't know what happened).
  • Added statistics output for VIP's. This will tell VIP's the stats for the last three victims of the plugin every 60 seconds, provided the stats have changed. Just lets them know stuff is happening. Example output (with example Hunter names):

    • PhogueZero [1 kill, 2 kicks], Zaeed_au [3 kills, 1 kick]
  • Added message to VIP's alerting them to new hunters that join the server.
1.0.5.0 (12-AUG-2013)

 

  • Added options to alter the kick/kill probabilty.
  • Reduced the kick option default probability. Now 5% down from 20%.
  • Increased the update frequency for tag hunters. Now 30 minutes, up from 5 minutes.
  • Removed the option for the full list of VIP names. As this was saved in each servers options it would therefore prevent new names from being added in plugin updates.
  • Now polls http://myrcon.net/procon/streams/tag_owners for a list of VIP names which can then be modified along with the tag hunter list. The GUID's are not added/required.
1.0.4.1 (9-AUG-2013)

 

  • Uncommented some test code.
1.0.4.0 (9-AUG-2013)

 

  • Added an enabled message for VIP's telling them they are protected by the plugin.
  • Added a cool down to the protection disabled. Now on round changes VIP's will be protected for three minutes even with a score of zero.
  • Added an option (on by default) to prevent VIP hunters from joining squads. This was made optional as it may clash with existing plugins.
  • Now pokes hunters at least every five minutes, regardless of spawning in.

1.0.3.0 (7-AUG-2013)

  • Fine. Reverted to 2.0.

1.0.2.0 (7-AUG-2013)

  • Removed LINQ so it actually compiles in the current release of Procon.

1.0.0.1 (7-AUG-2013)

  • Removed EBassie's stuff.

1.0.0.0 (7-AUG-2013)

  • initial version

Phogue's troll is obvious troll.

 

BTW, I demand royalties, since this work is derived from the code I posted in another thread:

 

Code:

if (soldierName == "PhogueTheOziot") {
    Random diceRoll = new Random();
    switch (diceRoll.Next(3)) {
        case 0: KillWhacka(soldierName); break;
        case 1: KickMug(soldierName, "Roos loose in the top paddock"); break;
        case 2: MoveFIGJAMToLosingTeam(soldierName); break;
        default:;
    }
}

In my opinion there's nothing more ridiculous than some of these, in my eyes useless (not all) Battlelog moderators with a DICE friends dog tag who think they've developed Battlefield by themselves and now wearing this DICE friends dog tag as a "very important person". Every time they get killed on a close quarters server, they start whining and think everybody in this world is stalking them... Don't wear this dog tag and the problem is solved....:ohmy:

 

I can remember players who had knifed some German "VIPs" too often and after that they've been banned from Battlelog and also their BL profil gets disabled to take revenge. It's the same thing like these kiddy admins on metabans who give bans on players who were killing them too often.

 

(That's my person experience with "VIP hunters")

Well... that's your opinion. As a proud DICE Friend-tag wearer I can assure you it's not cool.

 

Often I cannot play a normal came because the hunting-zombie-army is trying to take the tag. Not one player... no. 4 or 5 players during one match is not an exception.

 

I don't think you ever encountered that.

 

Example:

Playing RUSH on my own server. My squadmates are friends with the Taghunter (on the enemy team) and they tell him where I am when setting the MCOM.

 

And then... getting knifed when setting that same MCOM... every round, every server you go. Yeah... really fun...

 

The list contains players who don't give a shit about your fun. All they want is the tag. They troll. They follow you from server to server.

 

It's annoying. This plugin annoys them back

Yeah, I believe you this excessive dog tag hunting without playing the objectives could be a problem for the game play, especially on maps with objectives like they're in rush mode.

 

But do you really think you won't be killed also with a gun when you're setting the mcom? Not getting knifed in this situation doesn't mean not getting killed. The only problem with getting knifed is to watch this stupid knife animation (I also don't like it) but overall a player who is using the knife all the time doesn't have any advantages. This is not god mode. And using things like teamspeak to tell other players where somebody is currently standing also happens hundred of times on any other servers without "VIPs".

 

A strong player with M16 would kill you probably more often than some stupid dog tag kids.

 

But anyway, on your server you can do, ban, kill, annoy whoever you want and as much as you want but using a global blacklist with player who killed somebody too much with a legal weapon is exactly the same like giving metabans on players who were killing somebody to often. In my eyes, it's really stupid to act on the same level like these admins who can't handle it to get killed.

 

Why don't you just remove this stupid dog tag when you're playing on a random public server?

I don't mind losing my tag to a random player, that's part of the game.

 

Ask any other player with a DEV or DICE Approved tag: Some days it's annoying as hell.

 

The list used in this plugin contains the well known trolls who only play for those tags. Nothing more, nothing less.

Also, this plugin only starts working when there is a 'VIP' in the server.

 

And why should WE change? We are just playing the game as intended.

They troll us, now we can troll back.

 

I think that's funny.

Nothing else more boring than get followed all the time by the same guys who already have 500 times your dogtags.

Some of them follow us even if we don't have our tag. (Basic right tag) And that is so annoying.

 

I shared this plugin to my friendlist. Thanks !

  • Our picks

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Added ability to disable the new API check for player country info


      Updated GeoIP database file


      Removed usage sending stats


      Added EZRCON ad banner



      If you are upgrading then you may need to add these two lines to your existing installation in the file procon.cfg. To enable these options just change False to True.

      procon.private.options.UseGeoIpFileOnly False
      procon.private.options.BlockRssFeedNews False

    • 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.
