Advanced In-Game Admin and Ban Enforcer - AdKats


Message added by Prophet731,

If you've been banned from a server then you will need to appeal the ban with the owners/community of that server. We do not control any bans done on servers that utilize AdKats as all bans are local to that server.

Ok sorted the problem @ my end, It was doing it repeatedly on 2 servers.

 

I fixed it by stopping the layer, deleting the Adkats.dll on both servers, and restarting the layer.

 

Before this, each time you restarted the layer, Adkats would disable itself, and you would have to re-enable,

and wait for it to re-initialize.

 

Sorted now though :smile:

AdKats 0.3.0.3(8-SEP-2013)

 

Changes

Bug-fixes/Enhancements. Small but extremely important bug fixed. Necessary for WebAdmin.

I updated the AdKats.cs file and rebooted the layer, AdKats plugin is gone from the plugin list. I tried removing the .dll file, still won't appear...

 

I went back to 0.3.0.1 (The latest one you 'fixed' about the disable bug on layer reboot) and it's all good.

Try this one. Updated to v3.0.4. Was there a compilation error? Everything is running fine on our end.

I tried v3.04 and am having the same problem as kcuestag, AdKats isn't showing up in the plugin list, no compile errors it just isn't there also there is no corresponding .DLL file. I have reverted back to 0.3.0.1 and it shows in the plugin list again.

How many of you with problems are on a hosted layer? How many on a VPS/Self-Hosted?

 

How many layers running total?

 

Just for comparison; We run 5 layers on our Hypernia VPS, single instance for each layer, and rarely have issues. Dual core/2 Gb Ram. Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8.

Works fine now, no idea what happened there. :biggrin:

 

But the plugin says there is a new version out (0.3.0.3) which is actually older, makes no sense. :huh:

No admins in admin table? It says complete settings and more settings will appear but then of course it errors and I never see any.

 

Ok I goofed, I used a separate DB without noticing that it had to use the same DB as the Map Stats plugin so switched it to that one, all info added correctly but now I get a boatload of these errors that scroll a whole bunch:

 

[20:57:02 91] [AdKats] EXCEPTION: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Incorrect database name 'xxx_xxxxxxx '

I don't get the "incorrect DB name", it is the correct name.

working now...

But still get "WARNING: No admins in the admin table." is this to do with the "add access" under Player Access Settings?

Yes, add access to your admins using exact in game name without tags, then change their access level to whatever you want. 0 is the highest level. They do not need an account in procon.

I have not posted docs for 3.0.4, because that one is actually being trashed as well. I found a problem with permaban punishes, if an @punish goes through as a permaban it kicks them from the server, but only bans for 1 second. Everything else is functional, just that one thing is messed up. 3.0.5 will have this fix.

It nukes either the US team, RU team, or ALL. If there is a problem, please be more descriptive.

 

Note: I put this command in because people wanted it, but am unable to test it on our full servers because we as a clan will never nuke a server, it's just against our policy for doing things. We're actually selling a 1 time use nuke for $500. I've only tested the command on several players at a time in my dev server, so please let me know if something is broken and i'll fix it.

As an example, !nuke ru nukes only a few players on the ru team, not the whole ru team, witch left the us team to be baseraped because the worst players where left alive.

Interesting, can anyone else repeat this bug? It doesn't pick/choose who it's going to kill, it loops over the entire group (team/server) and performs admin.kill on every one. Maybe it's sending the requests too quickly? I'll put a 30-50ms delay between calls in that function and push it with 3.0.5, let me know if that fixes things.

Thanks for the info and testing. Maybe once again it's a problem with hosted layers, so i'll still put the delay in there as a safeguard. It will take ~2 seconds to nuke 64 players then, which should be fine.

Good to know, I'm on 3.04 now, how soon for 3.0.5?

this of course affects other plugins running etc.

 

I rolled a couple of servers back to 3.0.1 and this does not occur....

 

When procon is lagging, if you disable the Adkats plugin, the lag disappears immediately.

Disabling other plugins has no affect.

 

Any help appreciated! Love the plugin, but it plays havoc with Multibalancer with a bit of lag

We run on a hosted layer, and each game server connected to its own layer, and own plugins.

  • Our picks

    • Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

    • Added ability to disable the new API check for player country info


      Updated GeoIP database file


      Removed usage sending stats


      Added EZRCON ad banner



      If you are upgrading then you may need to add these two lines to your existing installation in the file procon.cfg. To enable these options just change False to True.

      procon.private.options.UseGeoIpFileOnly False
      procon.private.options.BlockRssFeedNews False

    • I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html

    • I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
