The percentage setting can be changed between 50% and 100%. These settings are in section A12. It automatically ignores commands, ignores hidden messages, and ignores squad chat.

There are also settings to only make it affect certain people, so if you have one player who is chronically talking in all caps but you don't want to affect everyone else in the server, just enable only enforcing specific people and use the special player command to assign them the group. These command are /allcapsblacklist and /unallcapsblacklist, using the same parameters as all the other special player group commands.

EDIT: Updated some things.

If I don't get those feature wrong, it looks after bad words in chat, right?

Is it possible to edit this list or something?

This is not a word-based chat filter, it's simply looking at whether a defined percentage of characters are all-caps.

Yes, the exact capitalization needs to match. This is because there are different groups that have the same letters but different capitalization. like AoE vs aOe, etc, etc. If you want it to match these people just enter all combinations of the capitals you want to catch. The system shouldn't be changed to be caps agnostic.

Ah, that was my mistake.

Also keep in mind the banned tags are just that, banned. It assumes you don't want the people from these groups in your server at all. It issues a permaban on these players, not a kick, if they change their tag afterwards they will still be removed from the server.

What does AdKats say their ping is when you run /ping playername on such players?

Was your layer connecting to battlelog normally before this? Are you now running the loadout enforcer in high request volume mode?

Yes, I was using it up, I deactivated it and it seems like it's back to normal, but that always worked!

What is the in-game command to update adkats?

Having one instance of the loadout enforcer connecting to battlelog in high request volume mode should be fine, unless your layer host has another person on your same box who is also using the loadout enforcer in high request volume mode. That will get your layer temporarily IP banned from battlelog (2-6 hours usually).

Plugin Update

/pupdate

I had the same alert lines for a layer that I do not use adkatsLTR anymore is in the database mysql, I am monitoring and I will post the errors again if it happens.

Some admins said they are having battlelog error and this is causing error also in BF4DB.

Another question I mount my own server for procon layer and mysql, has how to put adkats to use localhost instead of remote?

What do you mean? Localhost for the database? Just put Localhost into the host field in the database section.

I set up my own home server for Procon layers and mysql, so I would not need remote access database since the procon and database mysql layer are on the same server, i do not need to send the data on the internet to receive the same place of origin.

Did not work to use localhost, remote access only, I'm using XAMPP, There is something that you have to modify yet?

Filter certain punkbuster commands

Clear custom banlist when server is switched to official

Prevent exploit used to crash server via buffer overflow

Do you use /discordlink to link players? And if so what is the format?
