Advanced In-Game Admin and Ban Enforcer - AdKats

[ColColonCleaner]

So quick question .... the ping kicker isn’t kicking high pingers.

 

There are many things that stop the ping kicker. Check your population settings and whitelists for it. You can also use the /ping command to check if procon actually has the player's ping.

[Kracklin_Bacon]

Population ping whitelist is set to false.

 

Limit is 105 for low med high full

 

It refuses to kick

What about the 'ping kick minimum players' setting? By default it's set to 50, so it will only start kicking people when there are more than 50 players in the server. If you want it to happen all the time, change that setting to 1 instead. Also change 'ping kick ignore user list' to true if you want it to kick everyone including admins and such.

[Kracklin_Bacon]

Thanks!

[Kracklin_Bacon]

Ok, so I have it set to 150 kick for all population. I have all options as for whitelist turned off. I have changed the 50 min players to 2. How long does it take to kick because we still have people with 200 pings and it’s not kicking.

Turn on display ping enforcer messages in procon chat, that will show you what it's telling players about their ping.

 

Also use the /ping command to check what AdKats thinks a player's ping is. If procon isn't able to see the pings then that's why it's not kicking anyone.

[Kracklin_Bacon]

Thanks! I'll check it out now.

 

Real quickly, while I got you on here, I am being asked about a nuke option for when the winning team has all the flags and is basically pushing back the losing team to main base. They want some type of nuke thing where they can recover. It has x tickets and voting, but if its low tickets or no no voting then ..... ? Is there a better way? We had players on sunken dragon stealing the chopper and LAV from main base and raped everyone and people were leaving. They wanted a nuke option.

Votenuke usually turns out badly, abuse and all that. I have an automatic nuking system in AdKats but it's only designed to work on servers that run a single map/mode.

[Kracklin_Bacon]

Roger. I see the nuke command. I have several admins on daily so I’ll pass this on. Thanks

That's a separate manual system that allows admins to nuke teams. The auto nuke handles it by itself when set up properly.

Just so you know there is also the /wnuke command, which will only allow you to nuke the correct team that's too strong. Helps avoid admin accidents.

[Kracklin_Bacon]

I've thought about offering BFACP hosting in the past for those that couldn't run it or their providers refused to do what you just said. Obviously a cost would be involved with that type of thing thought.

 

How much we talking? This is what we need. Our webs provider doesn't allow that either.

Thanks, Col for taking your time to answer all of my silly questions. I don't know if I don't ask. Several years ago, you set this up for me and I never really tinkered with it. I got the ping kicker situated. It's really strange though because when we type a command, it will do the command but then put like 'that command is not a valid command'. Strange. Also, last night we had 5 extra players and done the !assist to assist the losing team. Again, puts you in a que. It should just move you on over. Multibalancer takes a minute to fire up. You know how impatiant players can be lol. All you hear is balance the teams! People end up rage quitting. I have been using the /moveme command as it will override assist and multibalancer. That moves me on over. And at random times, someone will be playing and it will say kill in action and there is no explination for it. I need an expert to take a peak at these settings lol. We bumped it up from 32 players to 48 and populate pretty well. I have cool insane/proconrulz scripts. We have votemap too. Got that working. Shadow with BEst Conquest servers has been helping me when he has time. We just want a fun server to play with our friends and have a good time. Too many ban happy admins on most servers. We are a fun group of close friends. We really appreciate your help. I know I do!

Haven't really thought about it. PM me though about what you need and see what we can do.

I would sooner just suggest writing up exactly what's needed, lingo a web host would understand, and passing that along to someone in his area. Leery about getting into it this late in the game, but ultimately it's your resources we'd be using so up to you.

Honestly I don't know which web host can do it. I haven't used a shared web host in years now. Always a VPS with my own stuff so it was easy to do. Honestly, not like the server gets hit hard or anything so I have plenty of resources to spare.

Quick question about the report system; is there a setting I may be missing on this? I want it to not show up in chat or tell the other person when they are reported. It causes issues. Thanks

Add a forward slash before the command.

 

/report colon taking my money

 

You can add a forward slash to any command to hide it.

Regulars can do this as well? People usually type !report

 

Thanks

Yep as far as I know.

Awesome. Thanks

@ CCC, good afternoon. Quick question for you, Sir.

 

I have User Roles: Full Admin and Guest and VIPs.

 

When I set VIPs, it announces them as admins. I had to turn the annoucements off due to that, so now people don't see when admins are actively playing. How do I change VIPs from getting admin reports? When someone !reports someone, it goes to VIPs and admins. 

 

Thanks

That means you've given your VIPs access to commands that AdKats considers admin commands. Which commands a role has access to is how it determines if that role is an admin role. These 'admin' commands are any command that can affect another player's play, like team movement, killing, kicking, etc. You can see if a role is considered admin when an [A] is in front of their listings in the role list. There is also an arrow

 

If you don't want to change your roles commands you can just disable the announcement In the messaging section, i believe section 12? i forget. you can control the announcement of joining admins to players, and announcement of joining admins to other admins.

Thanks brother. I'll update the settings when I get home from work. Have a great day. Sorry to have bothered you with that. 

[Kracklin_Bacon]

A few questions that I have, CCC. 

 

1) In adkats, is there a way to have the reports go to a forum link? Automatically? So all banned players will be placed there? 

 

2) How can we limit weapons on a certain map with adkats? Or do I need to enable the loadout enforcer? 

 

Thanks

[Kracklin_Bacon]

Ok, so scratch the weapon enforcement. I got that figured out. 

 

I'm looking at this pushbullet reporting and it says I need some type of token? What exactly is this and what does this do? I have it set up currently where when a player is reported it comes to our Discord.

I would suggest ignoring pushbullet unless you have a forum set up to accept that. You can look up that service to see what it does/how it works, not much was documented around that time except for the setting names.

[Kracklin_Bacon]

I do have a forum. Where do I get the token from

Like i said, look up pushbullet and how it works, and see if your forum software can accept messages from it. It's not exactly straightforward.
