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.

Is anyone else noticing this problem?

So, we try the old adkats version 6.0 at one of our server. I hope it works fine^^

Can we disable the global message "there is a new adkats update"!?

For example, feed admin roles teamkilltracker, reserved, and multibalance white lists (all of them, I suppose) for admins provided they have that particulate orchestration setting set for their role.

 

The issue trying to correct is that there are some users who should not be added to all available whitelists nor do they have a reason to view the admin chatter. Having the ability to dictate if the user should be assigned to a specific orchestration setting would resolve that.

Very strange this would show it's head now.

 

If you want to use an old version without the update message, open it in a text editor and look at/around line 59. You will see PluginVersion. Change that from whatever version it actually is to "6.5.0.0". The plugin will think it is updated and stop sending the messages.

 

Let me know if running that old version again (assuming 6.0.0.0) stops the problem.

 

EDIT: Please, if anyone else is seeing this issue, report it immediately. If this is not isolated to R3's servers this could be quite serious. We are not seeing this on our servers at all.

Please open tickets for these.

Gotcha this one once when I double click on the plugin resulting in a very fast disabling/enabling the plugin. Since the thread have sage guards with the database it cannot assume to be this fast and the thread bugged. I had to reboot the procon. I'm not 100% sure but I think we were 2 on the layers at this time.

 

I'm not hosting my own layer so cannot give you more feedback about the thread state at this time but I'm quite sur this was how I manage to reach this bug.

 

It only happens once or twice and it was always after I did something. The plugin never react like that without an human intervention on it.

I believe i have to get hosting company to cater but i don't know which, where and what to do.

 

If you could help noob people like myself, that will be awesome.

 

My sincere apologies, if my approach sound harsh.

You need a server (can be where your procon in install check with your provider) to install a database. If you take your own server you just have to google each step : how to insall mysql. How to create a user. Access remote to your database. Grant access to user on a certain database. etc ...

Oh, this only happened when someone was quickly enabling/disabling/enabling the plugin? Fantastic, it isn't a thread lock issue. I'll look into it.

Firstly, check with your current procon layer host, or your GSP, they sometimes have those options.

 

We suggest Branzone. We've been with them for over 2 years now running our BF3 servers, and our BF3/BF4 procon layers. They have better performance and layer control tools than anyone I've tried for procon hosting, and their support is fantastic. They also offer MySQL databases through their webhosting option, we don't use that option as we have our own dedicated webservers, but it is available.

Procon Layers: https://www.branzone.com/Procon-Layer/

 

Cheers.

I have the following issue:

 

My punishment hierarchy is:

kill

kill

kick

tbanday

tbanweek

tbanmonth

tban2m

ban

 

There is a guy who got 6points and got banned for month, after the ban expired he returned doing the same offence and got punished again, but this time autoadmin did nothing and didnt do the 2 months ban since the player has 7pt.

 

Also, usually when a player is punished, the total amount of points is shown to every punishment message, but for the 7th one, it didnt show up on the profile.

 

Also, see my last comment regarding this guy on github: https://github.com/Prophet731/BFAdminCP/issues/62

Please post or PM a screen cap of this player's records, showing the messages and the command type/action IDs. No changes have been made to the punish system in over a year.

  • 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.
