Follow the install instructions. You have not installed stat logger yet.

let me know if i'm doing it wrong or if there's something we can about that please! thanks in advance.

You have the setting enabled in section 12 that requires use of pre-messages. Turn that off.

Ok, which version of AdKats are you using and when did you first notice this issue?

I run 10 ProCon layer on my Win Server.

I thought maybe Battlelog blocks because of the many requests, but recently i rent 1 Layer for 1 gameserver on Multiplay, Getting everything was fine, but after a few hours I was there and saw the same error.

Thank you.

Battlelog has changed the request frequency required to be temp-banned from service access, but I'm not sure what the change they made actually is. We are seeing this same issue on our servers as well, but I was recently able to mitigate it.

 

On your multiplay layer run the /pupdate command to grab the latest version of AdKats then reboot your layer. After about 24 hours let me know if the problem has been mitigated.

 

When battlelog connections are severed none of the anti-cheat systems in AdKats can function.

using adkats with insane limits to limit and kick based on battlelog kdr. It works great but I wanted to notify to the Admin role in adkats that player has been kicked due to kdr.

 

I read in the changelog of adkats that I can call adkats commands from other plugins, just not sure how to accomplish this within insane limits.

 

I am using an expression to evaluate the kdr..

Looks like it is on start up, only recent changes were I enabled B27-3 TS Player Monitor which seems to work OK but there is one channel it will not pick up (all permissions same) Any ideas?

AdKats - Advanced In-Game Admin - 6.8.0.47

 

EDIT: OK just seen pic in post before this one same error....

Thanks

Wow, you guys rebooted your layers in the 5 minutes that version was live. The error you are seeing was fixed minutes after it was injected, please update to the latest test version.

The main issue for battlelog requests right now after their reduced trigger on temp-bans is the hacker-checker. On a full 64 player BF4 server it can attempt to issue over 200 requests to battlelog every round depending on how much player rotation occurs.

 

The limit in the latest version has been changed to 24 requests per minute and that seems to be enough for now. I don't see a good way to remove any of the requests required without trashing some significant portions of the anti-cheat functionality, especially in the LIVE system.

 

After adding the LRT request patches I've managed to get that plugin down to 10-20 requests per minute depending on player rotation, which is a reduction of about 60%. However, that's only possible because I'm ignoring players who have had a clean loadout for a while and only check them periodically after that. This means there are gaps in the enforcement if a clean player decides to spawn with a bad loadout after that. I will be adding a high request volume setting for those with lower population servers that can handle it and for servers running special rules like tournaments to ensure nobody is slipping by.

The only way to reliably do that would be to empty your adkats_statistics table because stat calculations rely on each other.

 

TRUNCATE `adkats_statistics`;

64 slots servers work without "Issue connecting to battlelog." problem.

but 48 slot server have "Issue connecting to battlelog"

All Layer running on 1 PC.

The layers are on the same machine/IP but only one of them has the connection issue?

That's baffling, i would assume an IP ban would firstly hit the 64p servers first and additionally take out your entire box instead of just the one layer. Are there any plugin differences between the layers?

Just because a feature is asked for doesn't mean it can or will be implemented. The very nature of that system is for those wanting to prevent team stacking regardless of clan tags. If you are not using it to do that, i would suggest simply turning it off. It is not meant to be a replacement for balancers, only a supplement to multibalancer.

Have this been implemented/asked before?

 

A localized spambot message based on their location?

Details:

A separate section on the spambot to include messages that is predefined per language or auto translated by google to be sent to players according to their geo-location/country.

Localization has been discussed but the extent to which it should be implemented has not. If you want localization added there is already a ticket open for it but it has not been fulfilled or flushed out in terms of functionality.

 

https://github.com/AdKats/AdKats/issues/723

 

Please either comment back on that new one with the desired functionality or open a new one specifically for the spambot. Once the design is decided we can move forward with funding/implementing it.

can I fund for a feature and when this feature is implemented, can I use it without using the test version of adkats?

I dont want the local code modifications to reset with every update.

Take note that since your triggers were not there for a while you will have an imbalance between records and punishment points. This means if you ever delete records for a player they will have negative infraction points.

I did your delete SQL query first before setup first so should their still be an imbalance?

Which query?

This what u suggested year ago first before trigger setup

DELETE FROM `adkats_records_main` WHERE `command_type` = 9;

Oh, you deleted everyone's infractions. Did you also truncate the adkats_infractions_global and adkats_infractions_server tables?

no i did not

 

on side note the trigger downtime, was only 15 Minutes

Oh, but you still wiped everyone's punishment records? That doesn't actually reduce infraction points if the triggers aren't online.

 

Run these and you'll be golden:

 

DELETE FROM `adkats_records_main` WHERE `command_type` = 9 OR `command_type` = 10;

TRUNCATE `adkats_infractions_global`;

TRUNCATE `adkats_infractions_server`;
