It shocks me, the only way people can even see the link to the setup script in error requires that they completely ignored giant text saying "DON'T SKIP THIS".

lol ok

 

Btw, the following question to either one of you two who can answer me:

Was bored and testing...

If I understood it right from my search on this thread, the ban_sync column is equal to the group ID the ban is enforced on?

But, does the ban_sync column even matter?

 

Right now I've tried multiple scenarios and here's the last one:

I've banned myself through the panel on Server 4

It sets a record on adkats_records_main and adkats_bans as usual, but unlike the plugin, the panel puts a -sync- instead of the group ID of the server.

I have server 1 and server 4 with group ID 1 and 4. Server 1 is off.

 

I manually edit the adkats_bans record to contain *4* and the main record to have Server ID 1.

I join server 4, the ban doesn't get enforced.

 

With this exact scenario I've managed to find out that ban_sync doesnt matter at all in any scenario. Am I correct?

 

Another scenario:

I ban myself with the panel on Server 4.

I manually edit the group ID on tbl_server of server 1, to Group ID 4.

I manually edit the adkats_records_main record to have server ID 1.

 

Now I join Server 4, the ban is enforced.

So this means that the plugin will look to see if any bans assigned to any server ID if they have the same Group ID as Server 1, and if it is, then those bans are enforced. This means that ban_sync column has not been used.

I change the ban_sync from -sync- to nothing, and the ban is still enforced.

Is this supposed to work like this?

It was intended to work that way at the start, but over time became apparent that it should not.

Ban sync column was added in the first iteration of the ban enforcer, when we were still attempting to hold local ban lists in procon for consistency with other plugins. That method of doing things was removed long ago, and all data currently held in that column is garbage.

 

By the way, the numbers held in there are server IDs, not group IDs, -sync- being a reset case for refresh. The column serves no purpose, and is only still kept there to avoid causing issues with users running antiquated versions and back porting, and even then it may not be needed.

Is there any possibility that this could be caused by any cashing system? Perhaps any plugin caching by procon, if any?

Someone posted issues along the same lines with the loadout enforcer earlier today. It appears to be an issue with battlelog, and if that's the case it won't last long. Try updating to the latest test version. If that doesn't help, i'd suggest waiting a short while for battlelog's services to be stable again.

 

If that still does not fix the issue, then i'll need to look into what they changed for hardline.

You probably haven't added your soldier to your user. Under your user type your soldier name in the 'add soldier' field. Users can have multiple soldiers on multiple games.

Your full admin role should have a much higher power level than that...up in the 150s. Remember to allow the appropriate commands for that role.

It's not for public testing yet, although i'm sure some people are going to edit the plugin to get it before it's ready.

Yes, this is how the admin kill works.

Same story with !kill. No death count.

 

I guess you can make a policy disallowing this "unfair" advantage...

Looks like you have some fresh ripe admin abuse on your hands. Disable that command for those people would be the best route.

 

Adding a timeout on that command wouldn't be out of the question either, and really easy to do. I already have a method in place for command timeouts. I'll just add a 10 minute timeout on killme.

 

Keep in mind though, even if I add this timeout admins can just use /kill or /fkill to kill themselves, just like using /killme. Killme was meant for usage by normal people in the server, since you can't target it at someone else.

After toggling Enable Teamspeak Player Monitor to 'False' and then back to 'True' the issue was fixed.

 

Any thoughts?

We are building in some internal changes for that system soon, so I'll have a chance to look into this then.

Great to hear! Right now it does not appear to be working as intended. In addition to not adding players to the list, players who are not on TS are being tracked as a TS player. The list seems to be continually changing. Using 6.6.0.6 currently.
