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 there a planned update to BFAdminCP to include Hardline functionality?

There are too many grenade types for catching cookers to be feasible. Barely able to do it with BF4, but that's because we only allow M67's and V40s in that server. We could reliably do it in BF3, but those days are long past, for me anyway.

 

Alternatively I could spend time updating the loadout enforcer for hardline if people would be interested in that.

If you would allow me to run the program I would love to use it.

The loadout enforcer is open to anyone now, currently at 60 users.

 

It will take a lot of work to update the plugin for hardline though, I thought it would be simple but their weapon/loadout system is structured completely different from BF4.

Thanks.

Those are new settings in the test version, not yet documented.

 

It will automatically issue a forgive on a player if they have infractions, positive reputation, haven't been punished in X days, and haven't been forgiven in Y days.

Sorry I do not understand, If I set it for 10 Days for automatic forgive Days since punished the will be automatically forgiven all there punishes after 10 Days?

Like a counter reset switch?

Can I use the auto forgive to get this work so if they are not team killing they are forgiven?

Or perhaps it is better to just use the kick function in the team kill tracker?

 

Now I have the settings for AFDSP set to 10 and AFDSF set to 7?

 

Perhaps a lower value like 3 - 5 Days is more realistic? I just want to ban the people coming in that try to TK the entire server...

 

I have this settings also:

warn

kill

kick

tban15

tban30

Does AnyHidden refer to the prefix @? And does this prefix effectively hide the command from being seen by other players?

 

Thanks in advance for any elaboration :smile:

So it is only one forgive point?

 

So if I set it for 1 forgive day and 2 days since punished how will this work?

Case.

 

A player gets punished, now having 1 infraction point.

Automatic Forgive Days Since Punished = 7

Automatic Forgive Days Since Forgiven = 2

 

After said player gets their reputation positive again, hasn't been punished in the last 7 days, and hasn't been forgiven in the last 2 days, a forgive point will be issued on them.

 

Otherwise you can just manually @forgive them.

 

Keep in mind, originally infraction points were meant to be permanent, only recently did we add automatic removal in very specific cases.

Your layer or computer is having trouble connecting to one of the required endpoints. Please look at the web requests section of the manual to see the domains AdKats needs access to and confirm these are whitelisted in your firewall.

I understand, I have decided that it is a bad idea to use adkats to punish for TK I am using the original settings in the plugin that kicks after 5 punishes instead.

Or I will probobly ban the entire server :smile:

 

Thanks.

You can use any of the following prefixes to access AdKats commands:

 

!

@

.

/!

/@

/.

/

 

Access options are:

Any - Command can be issued in any chat subset, hidden or not.

AnyHidden - Command can be issued from any chat subset, but must be hidden using /

AnyVisible - Command can be issued from any chat subset, but cannot be hidden.

GlobalVisible - Command must be issued in global chat, and cannot be hidden.

TeamVisible - Command must be issued in team chat, and cannot be hidden.

SquadVisible - Command must be issued in squad chat, and cannot be hidden.

 

 

Confirm and cancel commands cannot use settings other than 'Any'.

You are about to TRUNCATE a complete table! Do you really want to execute "TRUNCATE adkats_player_reputation"?

Just for AdKats or the stats tables as well?

I have ran debug at level 6 for 5 mins and then searched for "fetchUnreadRecords finished"

 

"fetchUnreadRecords finished" was not listed and I did not find it (used Find feature to locate it and it was not there)

 

Any suggestions now?

So you just want to remove the punishes and infractions only or you want to wipe out the entire AdKats database?

  • 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.
