I have been beta-testing this plugin for weeks, and it has been working great! :biggrin:

 

I haven't noticed any conflicts HAWKSTA24.

Yep, and thank you for your help and useful feedback. Lot's of features based on ideas from you.

 

BTW: Next update will contain a "Merge Squad"-option that will merge partially filled Squads.

We are still using the insane limit (instead of this, despite my praising words), because it is simpler to just write !lead somebody, than !givelead.

 

Also we had some complications with rotating squadleaders after idle, since sometimes you defend flags for more than 5-10 minutes (example soflam squad on Paracel E-flag).

This is possible, I'll add this with the next version.

But just in case you don't already know: You can also use !unlead command to give anyone else lead.

 

When you are Squad Leader you can use two different commands to give away your Squad Lead.

 

!givelead gives someone else with the specific player name the Squad Lead

!unlead gives anyone else Squad Lead. At the moment the plugin choose a random player. This could be changed to some stats based conditions with some further updates.

 

Also we had some complications with rotating squadleaders after idle, since sometimes you defend flags for more than 5-10 minutes (example soflam squad on Paracel E-flag).

Are you speaking about the "Idle Squad Leader Dismiss" or about the "Dismiss No Orders Squad Leaders" feature?

So I need to fetch these information from BL which makes it much more complicated.

Or you can just pull your player list from AdKats if the plugin is available :smile:, there is a subscription model that adds all the additional information AdKats knows about players to their player object.

 

This includes clan tags, persona ids, db ids, reputation, admin status, etc, etc..

 

You have LRT so you can see how it works, most importantly the switching between manual and AdKats based player lists if the plugin isn't available.

 

When AdKatsACS is released it will be much cleaner in terms of the sub/list code, but you should be able to get the gist from LRT.

Yeah, I don't think ol' Lumpy ought to tie his general purpose plugin to a) a for-pay-only plugin, or B) a plugin that requires a database. Wonderful as those plugins are, probably not the best plan.

 

Now, if you want to do everyone a service and make a standalone plugin that just pulls down per-player Battlelog data OnJoin with appropriate self-throttling, and does nothing else and has no database dependency, and makes that data available to plugins, with a query by player name API => callback with JSON results, that would be a dependency that no one would argue with. You can start with clan tags and add the rest later.

Indeed. Not everybody is using Adkats or is willing to use Adkats.

 

I know you are very proud on Adkats, but it would be nice of you wouldn't 'push' your plugin that much.

Adkats is not always the answer.

 

As you have been told before: Procon staff is not really keen on ONE 'super plugin'.

Also the battlelog communication plugin is already planned, but made even more general than that. It will take requests from plugins of any type and handle the web requests for them with definable max request intervals for any domain. So it won't just work for battlelog, any get/post request for any public site, with the response sent back to the requesting plugin asynchronously.

Looking forward to the "Merge Squad"-option :biggrin:

Can't really remember it now, sorry. I think it was "idle-setting".

 

About future "Merge-squad"-settings, great! But can you make it so it excludes locked squads? I've often seen closed 2-man chopper squads for example, or boat/tanks.

I might have some time at the end of march, so I may spend a few hours to add those things which should already have implemented long time ago. But I can't promise.

 

But honestly my motivation has also a little bit gone because I don't play Battlefield anymore and I also lost my servers.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

      Prophet731,

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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

    • Procon Version 1.5.3.4 Released

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.
