as i understand, in Adkats plugin

Send Reserverd slots to VIP SLOT MANAGER must be enabled? https://prnt.sc/qwfdoi

 

[maxdralle]

nice, i see it the first time. it must be a new setting in the adkats orchestration. it looks realy sexy.
as far as i understand, you have to set "Feed Server Reserved Slots: False" and "Send new reserved slots to VIP Slot Manager: True".

let me know if everything works...

LOL, as far as I know, this setting exists there for a long time.

So, now i can use Adkats's original Populator moniotor and it must work right?

[maxdralle]

yes, the adkats population manager should work.

No it does not - AdKats only sends the command for VSM if you give a player a reserved slot with /reserved time name (or so)

(So: add a player to the special player list)

The populator/discord/teamspeak module do not use this method of AdKats. I opened an issue, but haven't received an answer yet. @ColColonCleaner

This is true. The integration with VSM is bare bones because the people requesting VSM compatability only needed a small set of features.

There are two main types of special player status in AdKats, manual and verbose. Manual ones are issued directly (e.g. /reserved 3d playername) and have a set end date/time. I'm able to send these to VSM because of that end date/time. Verbose ones are calculated via a status of some kind and are temporary (e.g. populator, discord, teamspeak). Verbose special player status can vanish at any time and only sticks around for the duration its driving calculation is active (e.g. a person entering a monitored teamspeak channel). AdKats does verbose calculation every 5 minutes and on specific events (e.g. someone entering/leaving teamspeak, user updates, etc), and when that calculation happens it blows everything away and reseeds it with updated values. There isn't a way to do this reset process with VSM that i know of, so people with a status in VSM might never lose it once they stop having their special status in AdKats. It gets messy quick.

EDIT: The question i would have is why do you need VSM? You might be able to get what you want with just the AdKats features.

[maxdralle]

i am out... use adkats for vips or vsm for vips. only one of them can manage it.

@maxdralle Are you still up to update/add new functionality to this plugin ?

[maxdralle]

yes, when its necessary i will update. but the plugin works fine. i dont know which features are missing...

[Uninstaller]

I'm thinking about two new features

The first one would be to be able to disable "Aggressive join" based on the time of the day that the server owner would choose
For example on my side i would like to disable "Aggressive join" from 00:00 to 08:00 so like that nobody will be kicked from VIP join at night

The second feature would be to disable "Aggressive join" if server isnt full (or near full capacity, like if server is under 60 real players on a 64 server "Aggressive join" is disable, if above 60 "Aggressive join" is enable)
Because as you know, pretty much all populated pc servers are seeded. And the problem is that sometime when you have lots players joining in same time it will show 64/64 when in fact server isnt full.
So if a VIP try to join at this moment, someone is getting kicked for nothing...

[maxdralle]

ok, i included few features in my unofficial version a year ago. but it still not enough to make an official release.
- enable aggressive join on full server only (exactly what you said)
- !switchme player msg when the server is full and switching can not work
- kicked for vip rejoin msg for bf3/bfh
- keep plugin enabled setting (normally the plugin get disabled if the sql database are offline)

I 'm having the same issue with my current provider. Can't access external connections. Not getting much help from them. Can anyone recommend a hosting/provider that allows external connections? It is pure and only for this plugin. Please let me know and a merry christmas.

Edited December 25, 2020 by Hydra

[maxdralle]

you can use the statslogger and adkats database. you dont need a extra db just for the for the vip plugin.
you have a existing database?

[Hydra]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, we have DB for the plugins on the gameserver. We're only looking for a provider that can host the website + the connection to the external database on the gameserver.

[maxdralle]

there are many free providers. eg: https://www.lima-city.de/webhosting/webspace-kostenlos

[Hydra]

I have tried multiple websites, but only one of them (so far) was able to load the webpage, but wouldn't allow me to connect to the server.

Thanks for the link. I'll check.

[Hydra]

I seem to run against this error. I was able to add some vip's but suddenly the website stopped working.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for http://xx.xx.xx.xx/bootstrap.min.css.map:
HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE

We don't know what's happening + we can't find any file named: bootstrap.min.css.map

Have you any idea what went wrong? Thanks in advance.

[Hydra]

10000 times thank for the help maxdralle!!!

clarification: the problem was a disabled function in the php configuration.

we did a bypass by editing the "api.php" file from the website. we replaced the "mb_substr" to "substr" in line 83,86,88.

Hi! How can I change localization to ru?

[maxdralle]

you can edit the most player messages in the plugin settings. its the only way to make it to ru.

[BtK_iPetrovi4]

I apologize, I probably asked the wrong question. How can the calendar, search bar and other elements of the VIPmanager website be russified? I saw the "locale" folder and the "ru.js" file in it, but didn't understand where to change the settings...

[maxdralle]

there is no preset to change the language with few clicks. the only way is to translate each part by hand in the sourcecode:

from the website you find the folder "sections". there are 5 php files (home.php, login.php, user.php, userlist.php, vip.php). in each file the englisch language is fix incuded. with a bit html knowloedge you can try to change it there to ru. there is not so much text on website, so it should be not so hard.

[BtK_iPetrovi4]

I already did that, thanks. But where to change the language of the calendar, days of the week, hours, minutes, etc. did'nt find it ... And another question, is it possible to disable aggressive join for VIPs?

[maxdralle]

i am not sure, but i think the calendar is a part of the bootstrap framework. i dont know how to translate this part.

when you disable the aggressive join in your startup.txt (reservedSlotsList.aggressiveJoin false) then it should be off by default. next step is the vip slot manager plugin setting "8. Server. Aggressive Join > Enable Aggressive Join... " and the setting "8. Server. Aggressive Join > Temporary disable the Aggressive Join close on round end".

Thanks for your help!

- !switchme player msg when the server is full and switching can not work
- kicked for vip rejoin msg for bf3/bfh

I use AdKats plugin, how can VIP Slot Manager players not suffer autobalance and kick by ping? is there any way?

[maxdralle]

its not a problem to whitelist all the vips. its just a setting on each plugin. ofc you have to use a seperate plugin instead of adkats for balance or ping checks.

multibalancer:

true balancer

 

ping kicker via insane limits:
