NOTE FOR BF4 R26 VERSION AND LATER

---

It is no longer necessary to set the vars.preset command over and over again. Just set it once in your startup.txt.

 

DESCRIPTION

---

Use this plugin to define RCON command tasks that are repeated at a set interval of seconds. For example, if you want to insure the vars.gameModeCounter 200 is executed every 10 minutes, you can use this plugin to do that.

 

All commands are executed at the same time after the interval delay has expired. It is not possible to set a different interval for each command with this plugin.

 

You may use this instead of using pb_sv_task to repeat commands at an interval. The advantage is that this is easier to use and setup. The disadvantage is that it only works as long as Procon is connected to your game server.

 

Enter each command on a separate line, as you would in the RCON console of Procon, separated by spaces, and using quotes for strings where required, such as:

 

Code:

admin.say "Welcome to the best server in the world!" all

By default, the command list already contains the now obsolete (R26) BF4 command:

 

Code:

vars.preset "Normal"

You should delete the default and change the list to some other commands.

 

You may change, delete, or add to that list in any way that you want.

 

Change Log

 

1.0.0.1

- Initial version

1.0.0.2

- Added more documentation to the plugin Details tab

- Reduced the default command list to just vars.preset "Normal"; having vars.gameModeCounter 75 might confuse people.

Just a few days ago I was trying to explain how to setup repeatable commands via punkbuster. Your way will indeed be much more simple. Will give it a try today and see how it goes. Thank you.

No, that requires more logic than this plugin can do.

Yes, but it might also make your server be Custom in Battlelog.

 

vars.preset can change vars.gameModeCounter.

 

Basically, you can either be Normal in Battlelog and have default tickets, or you can have large tickets and be Custom in Battlelog. Doing both, Normal and large tickets, is possible (I think), but it requires a different plugin than this to do that.

For me so far is working well without change tickets.

 

vars.preset "Normal"

vars.gameModeCounter 1000

To make sure it stays Normal, you need to run the next map. I have noticed that when you run the next map, it either changes to Custom or it resets vars.gameModeCounter to 100. So the next map will have small tickets if it is Normal.

Read this thread:

If it is working for you, either you have magic or you are getting lucky.

Im scared to change something because i actualy dont realy know how i have done it.

 

What is did is using your plugin with the vars.preset "normal" and gamemodecounter at 200. This made my server normal, the tickets stayed at 100%. Then in procon i adjusted the counter into 200% and applyed. The next round i had 200 Tickets and normal preset......

Interesting, it works with your plugin though, I just downloaded it and it set our server back to normal! Any idea why it wasn't working manually for me (From my layer)?

 

Thank you PC9, you just made my server alive again for the night.

 

Edit:

 

Apparently from layer it won't work but direct from rcon it does... I didn't know that.

 

Thank you again, this plugin will be useful.

I have it by default at 600 seconds interval and Debug level 2.

 

Edit:

 

I don't know why but by default it had vars.preset "Normal"/.

 

I removed that / and it worked, this plugin will be very useful to make sure my server never goes into custom again.

If you read my post #16, you will see you CAN'T run commands from the Layer, you have to do it via direct connection to your gameserver's IP.

That's strange. Anyone else see this after installing the plugin for the first time? I tested 1.0.0.2 on a new Procon connection to make sure the default didn't have errors like that, but it is possible I missed something.

 

If other people are seeing the same thing, I'll post a change, though the code looks okay to me.

Do we know why commands are having to go directly to the server and NOT usable through the procon layer? It was my understanding that there is no difference between a layer server and a direct procon connection OTHER than 1 is managed and allows other admins to connect to it to issue commands and one is (obviously) a simple, direct connection. Functionally I thought they were supposed to be identical.

Probably a mistake on my end.

The plugin works fine on layer, what I mean is you CAN'T manually type commands on the Console tab as it'll say unknown commands, you have to use direct connect for that.

As I understand it, it's just a known issue/bug in this version of Procon. The layer and local client talk to each other over the network. In order to prevent the client from messing up all the other clients connected to the layer, not to mention the game server, the Procon layer inspects the commands you try to send it. Unfortunately, that code isn't update to BF4 yet, or something like that, so it doesn't recognize the command.

 

When you are directly connected to the game server, that check is not used.

 

This is what I recall from what a Procon dev typed in another post, which I can't find at the moment. So I might be partly or mostly incorrect.

# It can contain any remote administration commands that are to be run during game server startup.

 

# Your choices here are offical, ranked, unranked, private

# # Offical servers will not allow you to change many configuration settings,

# # but will get quick play players

# # Ranked servers will allow you to change more configuration settings then

# # offical servers, but will not get quick play players

# # Unranked/private will allow you to change even more configuration settings

vars.serverType "Ranked"

 

 

# If you add any spectator slots, these will subtract from the number of

# player slots available for normal players

This error occurs until I reboot the server. After some time he returns.

 

What command can I use to restart something or clean something to clear this error of servers?
