Ever since we have updated to 5.2.2.5 the logs for both !warn and !unwarn (forgive) commands disappeared, thus we do not get any confirmation that the player was actually warned/unwarned. Is there any way we can fix this?

 

Also, I would like to thank you for all the hard work you've put in this plugin. You are my savior

Which logs are you talking about? What disappeared?

Excuse me, I might have not explained myself well enough.

 

When someone is punished, admins usually get a notification that the punish command went through (i.e. It will say 'User has been punished [1pts]'). Ever since the update, we do not get any confirmation that the command was successful. Now I am guessing it's the fact that there is no command 'logging' row as shown in the photo below:

 

 

Thank you in advance

I don't know why it wouldn't be showing you those messages. It's not because of that though, those rows are hidden because logging is required for those commands and cannot be disabled, been that way for about a year now. What does the procon chat tab display when someone issues a punish?

[15:49:50] R3dn0ze > /warn r3dn0ze test

[15:48:58] AdKats > Tell[5s] > R3dn0ze > Warned by admin for test [1pts]

That's all I get (I get a say command that's repeated 3 times in-game, as usual)

 

Also, I get the following errrors in the plugin console (but they've been like that for ages)

Oh, there is a warn setting in the punishment hierarchy, if you replace the first point with kill instead of warn, what is the result?

[20:09:00] R3dn0ze > /WARN R3DN0ZE TEST

[20:08:06] AdKats > Tell[5s] > R3dn0ze > You killed yourself

Still no message I'm afraid :/

 

Would this be fixed if we change it to punish again?

I'll look into the messages in those cases. However the messages are different if you are acting on yourself vs acting on others.

Adkats tells me that I have 15 users and 5 special players. I have manually assigned to players Admin Assistant status with the aawhitelist command.

 

I have two questions:

 

1) I am not able to view the list of the special players. When I access my phpMyAdmin and go to the special players table, it show nothing. No data. However, I know that there the two players who have been manually given AA powers are in there because I see the AA reports showing that the player has AA status.

 

2) How do I take away a players AA status. I have not been able to find a command that takes a players AA status away. If I cannot access it through the Special Players table, where or how to I find them and remove their AA status.

 

Another request I have is that you update you pinfo function. It does not record when a player has as report against them, even when I have seen Adkats reports on the player, and when I run the pinfo function it show that the player has no reports for or against them.

 

Finally, I have tried to set up your webpage admin, but it apparently does not like GoDaddy. I cannot get you install feature to work, so I guess I rely a lot on your pinfo function.

 

I know your busy, and I hope you can find time to answer my questions. This program is awesome, and I am just trying to figure it all out.

Colon doesn't actually work on that, I do. The install is done automatically on v2.0.0. It's designed to run on a subdomain so if you installed it on a folder on your TLD then it won't work. Create or modify the sub-domain and make it point to the directory "public" of the application. It should work on godaddy without problems.

Note that I have changed the command from 'warn' to the default 'punish' but it didn't work either.

 

I even installed the latest test build of AdKats, but to no avail.

 

This is getting frustrating as it only happened after I updated, I literally changed nothing.

 

Due to the lack of messages, no one actually knows if the person is actually being punished for his behaviour, and some players were punished twice due to different admins being unaware that the player was already punished, thus he gets kicked/banned.

Please punish someone (who is not yourself), and post the lines shown in the procon chat window. We are using the latest version on 6 servers and it operates correctly, in fact the messages on punish haven't changed in many months. Something else must be wrong.

I've just taken out the first 'warn' like i was told and tested it on someone other than myself. It worked.

 

I put it back in and the 'warn' didn't work again. So that is the issue

 

[20:13:00] R3dn0ze > !punish nmrdn test

[20:11:43] AdKats > Tell[5s] > nmrdn > Warned by admin for test [0pts]

 

Only he gets the notification i'm afraid :/

 

Edit: Bypassed the need to warn by changing the ' warn -> kill -> kick ' ... to ' kill-> kill -> kick ' temporarily

Ok great, i'll update that message. Thanks.

Great, keep the thread updated when it's fixed so i can revert, thanks again!

 

Edit: One last point. Whenever someone uses the !rules command, everyone sees the rules being printed out, not just the player.

It doesn't work for BF4 if the duration setting is longer than 5 minutes. This is due to the latest(ish) patch. However, it still works for durations lower than 5 minutes, and still works for BF3.

AdKats adds/removes bans from your metabans account, however it does not enforce metabans from admins you follow. If you want to still have bans from those you follow enforced, keep it enabled with that setting on, otherwise the plugin can be removed.

 

I might add a function to enforce metabans you follow later, but it wouldn't be for quite some time.

Whenever an admin uses the !rules command on themselves.

I noticed the other day that when I have metabans enabled on adkats yet turn off the metabans plugin the sightings tab on metabans.com no longer shows current players.

Ah, sightings.

 

All AdKats does is update your ban list, anything else the plugin may do I don't cover.

1) If on startup or user fetch it says you have 5 special players, that table is not empty, please make sure you are looking at the right schema.

2) Once (1) is fixed, you can simply remove them from the special players table.

3) Round reports against players only last for that long, one round. They are cleared on level load.

You are running a test build, so there will always be debug code that's there to test new features. It will be removed soon, but not right away.

 

Right now that code is testing a DDOS protection script inside AdKats. Complete database disconnect is already handled, but the case where the database becomes severely encumbered was not. The script monitors the average duration of reads/writes to your database, and will disconnect AdKats from your database if reads/writes start taking 50 times longer than normal. This way commands and actions can remain online while the database is under very heavy load.
