Insane Limits: BF4 Gunmaster Random Presets

Updated to support Zavod: Graveyard Shift and Night weapons preset.

 

Options:

• The value highlighted in red is the delay in seconds before selecting and setting a new weapons preset, if this is set to 0 then there will be no delay. (Useful for mixed mode servers and servers running xVoteMap and/or UMM, a good value would be 40 seconds).
• If you added vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset to your startup.txt, change the value highlighted in green to the same value as your startup.txt, otherwise leave this set to 0.
• If the value highlighted in blue is set to true, then the next weapons preset will always be the new Night preset if the next gun master map is Zavod Graveyard Shift, regardless of which presets are or are not allowed. If set to false, then the preset will be randomly selected from the allowed presets.
• The values highlighted in orange control which presets can be selected. If set to true, then the preset will be available for random selection. If set to false, then the preset will be unavailable.
• The values highlighted in purple are for sending an in-game yell message and/or chat message displaying the next weapons preset. If set to true, then the message/yell will be displayed. If set to false the message/yell will not be displayed.
• The value highlighted in turquoise controls logging to Procon. If set to true, then logging will occur. If set to false, then logging will not occur.

Do you mean adding your own custom gun progression like magnum then mtar then phantom etc.? If so, then no there's no way that I'm aware of. I was hoping to have the same option.

Example for on round over:

 

If next round gun master = true. Select random preset and inform server.

If next round gun master = false. Do nothing.

 

Thank you

Edit:

 

I think this is correct - adding this to the first line?

Add the following at the start of the code:

Code:

if (server.NextGamemode != "GunMaster0") return false;

NOTE: I haven't tested this.

The item that I did not see was any vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset command being issued which would have changed it to Pistol preset. The message displayed in chat saying that the next preset was to be 'pistols' but then we had, what I believe to be, the standard preset.

 

On a round other than GM I have set it to go to Pistol. Would the multiple game modes cause issues with it not knowing what previous modes have been... then not knowing which preset to randomly select?

I'm not sure I fully understand. Are you saying it's working before the other gamemode and then doesn't work after it?

If you manually change the preset to Pistol during the non-gunmaster round, it will not stay set at that, the limit will see that the next gamemode is gunmaster and then randomly select a different preset then what had been set during the last gunmaster round.

The limit DID fire on round end as it saw that the next round was going to be GM and sent the message out to the server stating that. This same message was visible in Procon chat.

 

However, once the level actually loaded the preset was actually Standard... Not pistols like it should have been. So game mode loaded the wrong preset.

Ah I see, unfortunately when you manually set the preset before then end of a round, the limit has no way of knowing this and then selects a random preset for the next (gunmaster) round.

I'll change the code when I get a chance and add a command to enable manual preset selection.

You can download Insane Limits here, there's also a video on how to use it: showthread....R-2015%29-BFHL*

moacco07 is correct, this isn't possible.

Well that really would depend on what sort of things you'd like. I'd suggest just taking a look through the Plugin Enhancements section of the forums and see what you like.

Unfortunately no, the required info isn't set from servers.

Thank you for offering this nice tool. Unfortunately, I have a problem, that it is not working properly. It displays the new gun master mode on chat, but does not switch to this mode...

Can this be due to provider or insane limits settings? I mean, the plugin is running if the server message is posted. Or do I have to tweak on the settings specially, to be able to run this plugin?

I put your coded adapted to my needs here, did I miss something?

 

Code:

// BF4 Gunmaster Random Presets - Limit 1 of 1
// v2.0 - OnRoundOver - first_check
//

if (server.NextGamemode != "GunMaster0") return false;

int lastPreset = 0;
bool allowTroll = false;
bool showChat = true;
bool showYell = false;
bool showProcon = false;
int nextPreset = 0;
int maxPreset = 5;
Random rnd = new Random();
String lastKey = "_LASTGM_";
String[] presets = { "Standard",
                     "Classic",
                     "Pistol",
                     "DLC",

String msg = "Next GunMaster preset will be: ";

if (!allowTroll) maxPreset = 4;
if (server.Data.issetInt(lastKey)) lastPreset = server.Data.getInt(lastKey);
nextPreset = rnd.Next(maxPreset);
while (nextPreset == lastPreset)
{
    nextPreset = rnd.Next(maxPreset);
}
plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset", nextPreset.ToString());
if (showChat) plugin.SendGlobalMessage(msg + presets[nextPreset]);
if (showYell) plugin.SendGlobalYell("\n" + msg + presets[nextPreset], 8);

If I'm understanding you correctly, this will not set your server to Gunmaster mode, it will only randomly select a Gunmaster weapons preset after each round.

To have your server run Gunmaster, you will need add (or replace) maps with Gunmaster0 gamemode to your maplist. The available maps with this mode are (format here is: Mapname Gamemode Rounds):

Code:

MP_Abandoned GunMaster0 1
MP_Damage GunMaster0 1
MP_Flooded GunMaster0 1
MP_Journey GunMaster0 1
MP_Naval GunMaster0 1
MP_Prison GunMaster0 1
MP_Resort GunMaster0 1
MP_Siege GunMaster0 1
MP_TheDish GunMaster0 1
MP_Tremors GunMaster0 1

You can also add vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset [0 - 4] to startup.txt, e.g. vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset 0

The vars values are as follows:

Code:

0 = Standard
1 = Classic
2 = Pistol
3 = DLC
4 = Troll

Options:

• If you added vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset to your startup.txt, change the value highlighted in red to the same value as your startup.txt, otherwise leave this set to 0.
• If you do not wish to use the Troll preset, change the value highlighted in green to false.
• To display the next preset to all players via in-game chat, set the value highlighted in blue to true.
• To display the next preset to all players via in-game yell, set the value highlighted in orange to true.
• To display the next preset in Procon chat, set the value highlighted in purple to true.

BF4 Gunmaster Random Presets

 

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

 

Set first_check to this Code:

Code:

// BF4 Gunmaster Random Presets - Limit 1 of 1
// v2.0 - OnRoundOver - first_check

int lastPreset = 0;
bool allowTroll = true;

bool showYell = false;
bool showProcon = false;
int nextPreset = 0;
int maxPreset = 5;
Random rnd = new Random();
String lastKey = "_LASTGM_";
String[] presets = { "Standard",
                     "Classic",
                     "Pistol",
                     "DLC",
                     "Troll" };
String msg = "Next GunMaster preset will be: ";

if (!allowTroll) maxPreset = 4;
if (server.Data.issetInt(lastKey)) lastPreset = server.Data.getInt(lastKey);
nextPreset = rnd.Next(maxPreset);
while (nextPreset == lastPreset)
{
    nextPreset = rnd.Next(maxPreset);
}
plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset", nextPreset.ToString());
if (showChat) plugin.SendGlobalMessage(msg + presets[nextPreset]);
if (showYell) plugin.SendGlobalYell("\n" + msg + presets[nextPreset], 8);
if (showProcon) plugin.PRoConChat(msg + "^b^1" + presets[nextPreset] + "^0^n.");
server.Data.setInt(lastKey, nextPreset);

return false;

End of post.

How can I deactivate the Pistol mode like Troll mode and leave the Classic, DLC and standard modes does active?

Because of the

bool allowPistol = false;

command has no effect on Pistol Mode, could not deactivete it.

Find this line in the code:

Code:

while (nextPreset == lastPreset)

Change it to:

Code:

while (nextPreset == lastPreset || nextPreset == 2)

So you mean that the preset isn't changing on the next round?

Also when you say that the next preset is displayed in chat, are you referring to in-game chat or Procon chat?

Hmmm, that seems rather odd.

I don't really see it being a provider issue. Is your server Official or Ranked?

Is it a mixed mode server or just gunmaster?

 

Can you please try the following:

 

Disable this limit.

During a round, go to the Console tab in Procon and make sure the second minor Console tab is selected (see image)> Procon_Console.png

In the text box at the bottom, enter: vars.gunMasterWeaponsPreset 1

Then click send, wait for the next round to begin and tell me if you have a different weapons preset.
