No exception was thrown? Nothing at all? I hope there are some logs behind this, anything, because I don't think we can reproduce it on our end; We ban 50-100 players every day and I've never seen it.

 

You use the ban enforcer right?

 

EDIT: I can do something to monitor this though. If someone issues a ban or kick on a player i'll monitor their presence in the server, waiting for them to leave. If they are not gone in 5 seconds, i'll log that the error happened in console and issue kick on the player....If they are still in the server after that, something more serious is wrong. But, like I said, in the year and a half of running this i've never seen that happen, so it might take a while to nail it down.

Version 6.0.0.0 (25-DEC-2014)

Changes

 

• Manual round timer now activates on first spawn.
• Database actions are not fetched until startup is fully complete.
• Automatic spectator slot feed from user cache changed to admins only.
• New roles, when created, are given access to the same commands as Default Guest.
• 'Display admin name in kick/ban announcement' now applies to punishments as well.
• Population monitoring has 3 sections instead of 2 now, Low/Medium/High, so "Only kill players when server in low population" has been changed to include both low/medium population. This is to keep the definition the same as before without modifying existing user's settings.

Enhancements

 

• Player clan tags now processed and displayed in all available locations.
• Removed current score from player location in reports, and reduced the size of report prefixes to increase space for player names and vital information.
• Added countdown timer command (/cdown).
• Accepting Punish/Forgive for teamkilling through the Team Kill Tracker plugin.
• Detecting bad database connection vs normal, allowing disconnect if database becomes over encumbered for external reasons.
• Added manual plugin update command.
• Added options for low, medium, and high population to the ping enforcer.
• Added role power level, and disallowed certain commands from being issued from a lower power level player on a higher power level player. Commands such as kick/ban/mute/pull/mark/etc.
• Added manual warn command.
• Trimmed and cleaned targeted player leave message to be less intrusive on admin chat.
• Updated ban enforce message for temp bans to include both total and remaining ban time.
• Now updating stat logger information with player clan tags when available.
• Increased total allowed size of settings, allowing increased number of rules and spambot messages.
• Added option to exclude commands from manually posted chat logs.
• Added option to yell server rules.
• Added ability to add roles and their respective players to special player groups.
• Added option for auto-surrender to simply start a surrender vote instead of issuing end round.
• Added option for auto-surrender to have a minimum player count before triggering.
• Ban enforcer bans in the database are automatically expired once their time is up every few minutes, instead of being expired when the banned player rejoins the server.
• Added detection for duplicate instances of AdKats on each server. Only one instance of AdKats can be running on any given server.
• Changed timing of "user joined this server for the first time" to when the player first spawns, instead of when they first load in.
• Reduced chat spam from glitched player notification.
• Added admin notification when spectators leave the server.

Bugs Fixed

 

• Manual chat log posting of command messages did not include the command prefix in the message.
• Massive I/O overload when database connection variables were not filled on startup, and procon plugin debug logging enabled.
• BF4 Phantom bow, categorized as carbine, could cause invalid HSK bans.
• Record posting bug could cause errors such as 'Unable to find source weight for type|action: 7|35'.
• Ban delay timer for hacker-checker could post bans twice.
• Automatic lock on admin action was triggering on any action.
• Mark command did not work on report IDs.
• Automatic updater could complete with plugin file empty.
• Setting lock did not disable access to command entry setting.
• Required team for players once admin moved was not being cleared on round end.
• Admin WARN on punish did not give feedback to the punisher.
• Player identifiers were not stored when issuing new whitelist_multibalancer, slot_reserved, or slot_spectator special player entries.
• IP location fetching failed latitude/longitude parsing. Valid locations for players are displayed in the /pinfo command again.
• Ban enforcer could attempt to process server bans that did not have any identifiers.
• Automatic update for extensions could cause multiple dll files to be created.
• Automatic feed of reserved slots for admins was using all users in the user list on test versions.
• Debug message for record time to complete was incorrect.
• Round stat logger could attempt to post NaN entries to the database.
• Record finalization could fail if record had no command type or command action.
• Player reputation update could fail if commands were being fetched at the same time, could attempt to use invalid player IDs, and was not thread safe.
• Player dequeue command could throw race exceptions in some cases.
• Record upload could attempt to use invalid player IDs.
• Balance dispersion could attempt to use invalid player IDs.
• Targeted player leave message could fail if teams were being updated at the same time.
• MySQL queries could return in deadlock state under InnoDB, and the case was not handled.
• Player spawn processing could fail if commands were being fetched at the same time.
• FetchSQLUpdates printed stacktrace on exception for servers which were not under testing.

Upgrade SQL from 4.0.0.0 - Current

 

No manual upgrade SQL required.

 

If you are running 5.2.0.0+, your layer will automatically update and only require a reboot to run this version.

If not, update one layer, run it to complete startup, then repeat on your other layers.

Just disable the command if you don't have any rules. Section CDE29

 

 

----------------

 

@ColColonCleaner :

-Added option to exclude commands from manually posted chat logs.

==> It's an option ? Or it's enable by default cannot find it.

 

And I just had to install the 6.0.0.0 mannually because the Disable Automatic Updates is enable (Cannot remember if I enabled it or not) anyway it doesn't want to be disable. When I set on false, nothing happends it stay on "True". No idea why it does that ?

 

And thank you for your work.

 

 

Edit : is there a way to have a !help command displaying available command for a player (will be used for players having few commands like 5 max)

Got this messages sometimes, too.

Just ignore it at this count.

 

It's important when the count reachs 10 i think.

1. Correct, simply disable the rules command if you are not using it through AdKats.

2. Orchestration Settings section to enable manual chat log posting.

3. Was this an issue with 6.0 or with a previous version?

4. There already is a !help command.

Yes, these messages can simply be ignored at lower levels. Perhaps I should hide the messages completely if trigger count is

Loadout Enforcer? It is a very rare case, but sometimes battlelog doesn't update a certain player's info right away. During that time their loadout will not change in the plugin's eyes. There is nothing I can do about battlelog lag.

Do not run the SQL setup script, you will wipe all AdKats information from your database.

I've got this problem before the 6.0 (the last release before this one) but I still have this issue. Maybe it's coming from another parameter ? And even if i'm going into the database to change it manually the layer wont display "False".

I found the bug, thanks. It's too small to warrant a full release update though, i'll push a test version that includes this though.

 

Please use /pupdate to update your layer to the latest version in the meantime.

Section A19 be sure your rules do not start with a '\n' (duno the english word for it).

First spawn rules are not done. Yell changed to tell in version 6. Update.

I do not understand what you are trying to say. Does AdKats print "NO RULES" in chat to them?

All say messages with new lines in them are split into multiple say messages

Just checking, why does AdK is saying it twice ? Does it double the request ? Or just latency with database ?

If the double message is happening often i'll look into it, otherwise it's a non-issue. I'll post a test patch with an attempted fix. Very few things in AdKats are synchronous, almost everything is fired on events for max performance, so if an event is triggered twice I need to manually check for duplicates.

When I type this command he writes on the chat server NO RULES

and then come the rules

Sounds like you have another plugin saying no rules, it's not AdKats saying that.
