Reserved Slot List - New Question about an Old Plugin

There used to be a plugin that would whitelist members by Tag, respect the RSL, and only kick non-tagged members ith a message.

 

Is this something that is A) Still available (I found references, but no plugin) or create-able? Thanks for any assistance.

You can do this with AdKats. Or at least part of the way. Since it is able to see clients in teamspeak and in game you can tell it to temporarily give those people a reserved slot while they are in game, and remove it when they leave. This fools the game into not kicking those players for reserved slot joins, since they are also reserved at that time. The system could probably be modified to give a "agressive join kick protection" to them if you want that feature beyond what's already there.

REQUIREMENTS:

This plugin requires a MySQL database, and XpKiller's Stat logger plugin to operate. If you do not have an existing database and/or a Procon layer we suggest using Branzone's hosting services. Our group has been with them for years across BF3, BF4, and Hardline; the most performant and reliable host we've found.

We host our ProCon layer through gameservers, which offers a webserver and SQL DB (I'm just not that savvy - could be taught I'm sure). I also don't have full control of our TeamSpeak which I assume would be a must in order for that (your above answer) to be implemented. Is that correct?

 

I'd like to give AdKats a shot, so I'll put it on the server in offline mode to tinker with it.

 

My overall intent is to have members not get removed for a reserved slot joiner with aggressive join turned on. Based on what I've stated here, do you think AdKats can still benefit us?

 

Thanks for your reply.

I'm with Gameservers and I am able to use Adkats along with the Team Speak feature. You have access to everything that you would need to run adkats. I would suggest getting the Clansite Elite web system that they offer to run your database on. Then I would suggest you find a another webserver to run your webpage and BFadminCp on which can access the data that Adkats generates.

 

Have to say, hands down, Adkats and BFadminCP have been the best programs for servers owners to run BF4. Try to find someone with webpage building experience to help you get things set up for BFadminCP.

I'm still interested in AdKats, so I'll put it on my layer and start tooling with it. What things won't function without the database or the TS?

Nothing will function without the database; that's how AdKats runs. It's a very big tool, more than half the size of procon itself. It's designed for larger clans with many servers so you can manage all of your stuff at once. It's a good idea to just run that regardless of whether you activate the aggressive join whitelisting.

 

After you have that active you can request a special whitelist to be modded into the plugin for what you want, so teamspeak doesn't need to be used.
