EDIT: That is how AdKats determines who is considered 'Admin', whether they have access to any admin commands. That spectating message is sent to all admins.

I got it. Which of these teams are considered an administrator teams, because of which and displays the input and output of the spectator?

Your default guest role is fine, that role cannot be given admin commands. It's one of your other roles.

 

Do you only have 2 roles or have you created more?

You have some admin commands assigned to your VIP role. For example player say, autobalance whitelist player, reserved slot player, etc. These should not be given to non-admins. Remove them from that role and the role will no-longer be considered admin.

Having said that, by failing to keep updating the instructions and settings, you are making it harder for us non-computer smart people from getting the most out of this system. Some times the instructions are hard to understand for people with limited computer skills so if you can provide more information when writing instructions and do not assume that we know the basics because a lot of us do not.

 

I just want to request that you update the instructions as fast as you update this program so us limited skilled admins can try to figure out how to get the most out of this program.

 

Please do not read this as a criticism of your work because I love this program. I just need a bit more help from you by you keeping the settings and instructions section of this system up to date better than it currently is.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Absolutely. I normally update them with every full release. I believe the last update was 6.8.0.0. There will be another full update for 6.9.0.0.

 

There are a lot of new features in the test versions that people may see, but the vast majority of users are on stable versions so the docs are kept for that.

 

What are the specific areas that are unclear right now? I can work on improving them.

 

EDIT: I could keep a testing version of the docs, and update those docs when new features go in for testing, leaving the normal docs alone. Shouldn't be too difficult. I'll work on that.

That would be perfect.

 

For example, the latest addition of Battlecry, Took me about an hour to figure out because there were no instructions and it was only when I notice I had to give the admins and / or players the power to use it that I was able to figure it out.

 

In the past, I have read your instructions and had some time figuring out what you meant. An example would be the Team Speak feature that I was not able to figure out for some time until another person posted detailed instructions.

 

I just want you to know that from a novice person's point of view, that we do not always understand the instructions posted in your documents section. I have seen post from other people who are also having some problems understand the instructions.

 

I'm old, grey haired, and never had training on computers, so I basically have to figure things out by myself. And I know just enough to be dangerous!

 

With this said, thank you for your work. It has made running my 3 servers so much easier!

Attachment 4297

If I remove these functions from them, then they will cease to enter the queue on the server (reserved slot), can not enter the spectator (spectator slot), right_!

You are confusing groups with commands.

 

The spectator slot command allows someoene to give someone else reserved slots on your server, you shouldn't be giving that to non-admins.

 

The spectator slot group and other groups are assigned in section 4-2, go there are assign the ones you want.

It was rewritten because it needed a reliable way of telling players/admins why it wasn't firing based on the settings the admin set. That simply wasn't possible with the previous code, it was built by a monkey.

 

Now it should show more informative messages to players/admins, if it works properly.

You can use Tyger's viewer, the BFAdminCP by prophet, use the in-game chat command, or look directly in the database for it.

 

EDIT: If you would like specifics about one of these methods, just let me know.

yeah where are the log files on the folder....I went into the ftp of the procon server under logs and all I see is procon.log no chat logs....where in the database is it?

Ah, i thought you meant the chat logs AdKats uses. If you just want the normal chat logs then you can turn on chat logging on your procon layer. It's in the same place that you turn on event logging and procon plugin logging. You just need to turn on the chat logging option and reboot your layer. If you do not know where this setting is ask your layer host.

Ah, dang, i need to remove that message. There can only be 15 people in the server spectator slot list, so AdKats is constantly trying to add more and failing. Your stuff will still work correctly, you'll just get spammed every 5 minutes when it tries to update. Open a ticket to remove this message so i don't forget.

Great! Glad the base functions are working. Now, go to your 'command settings' section in AdKats. There is a new setting for nuke countdown. Set that to the number of seconds you want and see if it works.

 

If it works, it should countdown for both the admin issued nukes, and the auto-nukes.

Can be moved to section B25 this feature?

Not really. You said you were doing !cdown for this, but now you don't need to do that anymore, it's automatically handled by the nuke command.

 

All auto-nuke does is fire the !nuke command automatically, admins can do the same thing, and the countdown is used in both cases.

Auto nuke running count also works! However, there is this thing, to put 15 seconds or 20 seconds, I can not, the value does not change just adkatse, 10 seconds and all.

Alright i'll duplicate the setting down in the auto-nuke section.

 

Now, i noticed that for the last nuke then surrender it nuked the team then immediately ended the round. I should probably make it reset the trigger count when doing the transition from nuke to ending the round.

A good idea.

 

P.S

I stopped working team /.punish after upgrading to this version, what's wrong? In Adkatse writes AdKats> Access to commands using that method has been disabled in AdKats settings. But this feature is enabled adkats oftTFo7.png

Section 5, command settings. 'Allow Commands from Admin Say', you turned that off.

Those are both new sections added recently. I'll be writing up full docs on them soon.

 

Basically, pushbullet allows you to send in-game reports to cell phones and desktops as notifications.

 

Battlecries is a feature someone paid for, basically messages that get shown to everyone when the player first spawns, announcing their entrance to the server. And they can modify the messages themselves.
