You manually enabled it in section A12. Disable it again.

Is nobody being kicked? Or was it just this one instance that failed?

Quick question to just clarify something.

 

I want to run adkats on 2 servers, is it possible to use the same SQL DB for both servers on the same host, i just want to make sure that there isnt going to be any conflict's that might arise if i do ,

 

i did try reading threw this thread but 400+ pages and no way to search it was easier to post up and ask

 

Cheers

There were a couple people who mentioned the ping enforcer was not working on their servers, but we never investigated into why. PM me plugin access to your layers and i'll check it out.

Having multiple servers on one DB is what this system was designed for, just use the same credentials across all your servers .

 

As for searching threads, there is a "Search Thread" button at the top. Cheers.

You can use /pupdate to automatically update your plugin.

Is it ok, or do I have to change something ?

 

And when I run the plugin i get the following error and warning:

You should be fine on the setup script, it only runs once.

 

For the global time config, make sure you've whitelisted all the domains listed in the 'web requests' doc section in your layer's firewall.

 

Make sure you've given the account AdKats is using full access to add/remove/modify tables and their contents, otherwise it will not function correctly.

The whitelist is for only if I am using sandbox, cause when I launch my procon (not the procon_layer) the sandbox is deactivated, or do i need to check the procn layer ?

And the port for the domains are all 80 ?

For this one I am out of space. Can you check your pm ?

I'm talking about the firewall on the machine running your layer. The layer itself does not have a firewall. Yes the ports are 80, simple REST requests.

 

AdKats and stat logger will not function properly if sandbox is enabled, it must be disabled.

 

As for the credentials, just use the same credentials for AdKats as you did in the stat logger plugin. If stat logger is running fine with those credentials, AdKats should also.

 

PMs here are private, you can send credentials through them. If you must speak live, i'm usually on the ADK teamspeak server.

You cannot use auto-surrender on servers running multiple different maps, every map with different flag counts run different ticket loss rates.

 

Use surrender vote instead.

I tryed to work with the /punish command which allowes you to use a Punishment History.

As fist punishment i use the warn.

He should be warned in chat and on screen by yell.

At BF3 this is working well. At BF4 its not working, because adkats tryes the same command as at bf3 (tell).

He will get warned it chat but not on screen (tell isnt working on bf4 or not_)

 

I didnt found any section to change the "warn" commands output.

Could you change it to a yell instead or give the option to change it?

 

Thx

It uses player tell across both games. If you are not seeing yells in BF4 it's because you've disabled seeing 'game update messages' ( i think that's it, maybe it was game state update messages, it's been so long since i saw it ) in your game settings. That setting disables seeing the grey game update messages and all admin yell messages.

when someone reports a player i want the reported player name to be linked to each /bf4db/bf4stats/fairplay...and so on

i know its possible because i have seen it on some other forums like this

i have searched and found this one

DPS Automatic Ban [LIVE][ACE52CQB-88-16-15]

I'm guessing that a new AdKats is calculating some LIVE DPS value for all players, not the overal player stats taken from b4stats.com. Can you please tell me how AdKats measures LIVE DPS statistics ? I did not found any information about it in the AdKats manual.

They probably have a cron job posting reports from the database. If you want something already set up you can install the BFAdminCP.

BF4Stats.com was dropped a while back to use battlelog instead. BF4Stats was out of date most of the time with player statistics, which made banning new accounts much more difficult.

 

Yes live checks were added some time ago but had been under testing on our servers only until recently, it was pushed to the test branch for some others to start public testing and give feedback.

 

Battlelog stores kills/hits for all player weapons, but only in overall statistics. AdKats caches player statistics when they enter the server, then fetches their updated stats when each round ends. This allows it to check weapon kill/hit differences caused by the previous round and calculate damage.

 

It has a minimum trigger of 12 kills with the suspicious weapon, will only activate on weapons that deal less than 50 max DPS, takes into account headshots dealing extra damage, and triggers on weapons dealing more than 175% their normal damage after all calculations or more than 85 DPS overall.

 

The person it banned in your case was very nearly 1-hitting players with headshots from a 34 DPS weapon, the ace 52 cqb. 16 kills, 15 headshots, 88 calculated DPS. With the headshots included normal damage would be around 60. If this is a false positive we will need to discuss it further.

 

EDIT: I will be adding modifications of the stats for servers running lower player health amounts such has hardcore, and multiply the damage difference requirement to trigger live bans accordingly. If your server is hardcore this is definitely a false positive.

thanks for the reply

i couldnt install bfadmincp because my host doesnt support php 5.5 :/

The Live DPS than I've provided to you is a correct one probably. Look at this: http://stats.bullet-point.pl/players/57402/SILA_LEBEDYA

 

However this ban is probably a false positive : http://stats.bullet-point.pl/players/4379/nomadddd1- DPS Automatic Ban [LIVE][AEK971--2147483648-12-4]
