Changes

• Bug-fixes/Enhancements. Teamswap queues have been brought back after being fixed. Listplayers calls shortened and only handled every 5 seconds, and ban enforcer enforcement should now cause less chat spam.
• Added join command. @|!|/ join playername will join that player's squad, with certain access levels.
• Punishment logging improved. # of player points is now stored in the record message for each punish.
• Permaban punish overrides low population. Used to not happen.
• Remove text to disable command. Command name will autofill with command disabled text when removed.

I think a nice little feature to add would be an automatic importer of the rules from the server rules on request plugin* so that the clans that already have their rules inside it your plugin would then automaticcly use those for the quickmessages.

That list is used for actions, one method is using it like rules on request, so it does more than that plugin. Also i can't fetch settings from other plugins.

I've been thinking about implementing something like rules on request internally, since that is an admin tool. The main reason i would is because the current rules on request plugin only works with "@rules" OR "!rules", not both at the same time. WAYY too many players try one without knowing the other. AdKats commands work with all normal prefixes " @, !, /, /@, /!" at once.

I thought it was open to a little abuse but for the most part it works as intended and players don't abuse it.

 

Some limits could be placed around usage per round as well.

Try using the kill command with no parameters and get back to me

Access level 0-3. I can add another command accessible to everyone for self killing, post a new issue on github.

Auto import would be cool..but it's really easy to just copy from the ROR plugin and paste into the ADK plugin. And then require the use of pre-messages in adkats. Basically, ROR is only for pubs to get the rules list from now, it does nothing for our admins.

 

Just an idea....

The thing is though (if you didn't read my replies), that plugin only operates on one prefix at a time, be it either ! or @. Countless players use one without knowing about the other, and many pick the wrong one on our servers, then thinking there are no rules listed proceed to break rules.

Is this intended? Or is it a bug?

Stat logger update is here: https://raw.github.com/ColColonClean...tsLoggerBF3.cs

 

AdKats update is here: https://raw.github.com/ColColonClean...test/AdKats.cs

 

Changes to both are here: https://github.com/ColColonCleaner/A...7&state=closed

 

EDIT: Found a small bug in 3.4.9, text said from VOIP command cannot be changed, adding to fix list.

This would not be available via command, only said once on entry/first spawn.

 

On that note, how many of you actually use the infraction tracking system? (punish/forgive)

We use it, although I don't think it's a good idea to tell them how many points they have.

Yeah, my overly tired brain was being a bit senseless last night. Idea chucked under the rug. Working on the 3.5 update for now. Still would like to know who uses the punish system

No player or admin data will sent, only a select few plugin settings, server names, etc. It would just be nice to know which servers it's on, which plugin versions, and what settings people are using.

 

And of course, for the curious, the plugin is open source so checking for any funny business is rather simple. Could go two ways with this, allow disabling, or require accepting it in order to run AdKats. Topic open for discussion.

No, if our servers are down it ignores the error and runs as normal, like every other "send anonymous data" system in existence.

The only reason i really REALLY want it is because this (myrcon.net/.../advanced-in-game-admin-and-ban-enforcer-adkats) is nowhere near a complete list of servers. Idk, i like seeing numbers. I can keep it off the table if more people voice their opinion
