Insane Limits: Mute/Unmute Player without Adkats

This limit has similar functionality to Adkats' mute command, with some differences.

The muted player is killed immediately on muting, this counts as first activation. If the player talks again they are killed once again (2nd activation). If they talk a 3rd time (3rd activation) they are kicked and, even if they return to the server, on 4th activation they are banned for the duration of the round. If the player then returns after the round has ended, they will still be round banned until they are umuted.

 

You have 2 commands available only to Admins with a ProCon account and the rights to Kill, Kick and Ban players:

!mute [Player] [Reason] - Mute the given Player for the stated Reason

!unmute [Player] - Unmute a previously muted player

 

Player name can be a partial name, e.g.: lcars will match LCARSx64

Commands can be proceeded by: / ! @ /! /@

Example: /!mute Player1 Spamming chat!

NOTE: This limit uses a file for tracking muted players, this file is located in your ProCon layer's Plugins/BF4/ folder and the filename is SERVERIP_SERVERPORT_muted_players.txt, e.g.: Procon/Plugins/BF4/127.0.0.1_20005_muted_players.txt

Mute/Unmute Players

 

Create a new limit to evaluate OnAnyChat. Set action to None.

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

(true)

Set second_check to this Code:

2) The yell message to the player doesn't appear when they are first killed. Haven't been able to test out if it does on subsequent infractions due to issue #1 though.

 

Thanks for the hard work so far. This plugin will definitely come in handy!

Very odd, I tested this on my server and it worked fine for me. I've edited the first post code, changing the messaging order, I've also added Yell messages which were not originally in the code. Let me know if that works.

 

Nice work, LCARS!

The code compiles fine for me, I even just double checked. Also, I notice you're using AdKats, this limit is for people not using Adkats. It will conflict with the Adkats mute command.

it is not advisable therefore I have deactivated this limit

you could do a limit to insult or very vulgar words

Oh I understand now.

 

To create a list, go to the Insane Limits settings and scroll down to section 2.List Manager

Image 1: List_Manager.jpg

Click the right section of new_list and you will see an arrow to the far right, click this and select True from the drop-down menu.

Scroll down to the very bottom of the Insane Limits settings window and you should see List #1 - Name1 (Enabled)

Image 2: List#1_A.jpg

Click the right section of list_1_hide and again you will see an arrow to the far right. Click the arrow and select Show from the drop-down menu. You should now see more options here:

Image 3: List#1_B.jpg

Click the right section of list_1_name and type bad_words_list then hit Enter. This list settings will change again to:

Image 4: List#1_C.jpg

Now click the right section of list_1_data and again click the arrow to the far right, remove all text in the drop-down listbox and add the bad words you wish to detect, seperated by a comma (For TMiland's list, copy the text and paste it into the drop-down listbox). Once all your words are entered, click the down arrow at the far right again.

 

You now have a bad word list ready for TMiland's limit.

@LCARS

 

When the line number is between 20 and 30, the problem is almost always in first_check. The most common problem with first_check is using Expression when Code is specified, or vice versa. So that's always something to check when this kind of error report comes up. The "1 error compiling Code" is another clue: first_check should be Expression -- the error message is composed from First_Check.ToString() (which is kind of bogus, since the error could come from second_check). It would be nice if the error mentioned whether it was first_check or second_check explicitly, but that would require too much parsing of the error log coming out of the compiler.

However, the Yell messages don't seem to work all the time (where they actually display across the middle of the player's screen). I've had this issue with other plugins so maybe DICE broke the reliability of the yell function?

 

Maybe for the future we could make the Mute list be purged after 24-72 hours or so.

You have a limit created and are trying to use that as a list, delete that limit. You also have custom lists disabled, in section 1. Settings of Insane Limits, change use_custom_lists to True.

Haha just doing my bit. I have a killme one too but will need to alter it before releasing it publicly due to it being customized for the multi-lists I have setup.

That's a little weird. The line that actually does the ban is:

Code:

plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.EA_GUID, EABanDuration.Round, arg1, 0, "Talking excessively while muted!");

As you can see, the reason should be Talking excessively while muted!, arg1 will actually be the player's name. The muted players file is written as:

Player1Name Count1

Player2Name Count2

etc.

I just double checked the code and it's reading correctly, so I'm not sure where the "1." is coming from.

I'll run some tests and get back to you.

can this be converted to work with BF3?

Since I don't have access to a BF3 server and ProCon Layer for one, I can't be sure, but I believe this may work as is. Papa would know for sure.

It's completely chat based, so it should work without issue in BF3.

Looks like code for BF4 is a little different than BF3.

All that should need changing is the following line (near the top of the code):

Code:

String   fName   = "Plugins\\BF4\\" + server.Host + "_" + server.Port + "_muted_players.txt";

Change to:

Code:

String   fName   = "Plugins\\BF3\\" + server.Host + "_" + server.Port + "_muted_players.txt";

Make sure in Insane Limits settings, in the section titled 1. Settings, that virtual_mode is set to False. Also make sure that the actual limit's state is set to Enabled, e.g.: Code:

Limit_1_state         Enabled
