We do not use TeamSpeak Player Perks, and the only reason I turn this feature on was because I thought it would post an text statement within the game when a clan mate join our TeamSpeak. I notice within the Procon console that it notes who is joining TeamSpeak but it would be nice to have it announce it as an admin feature within game. Is there a way to get this feature to announce who is joining in TeamSpeak within the game?

 

So if I am not using the TeamSpeak Player Perks, is there any reason to have this feature running since it doesn't announce in game who is joining Team Speak?

 

One more issue, when I run the debug mode, I get this error code:

 

Minor Error-Update Teamspeak Information

An error occurred during obtaining an Advanced Client Information.

512:invalid clientID

 

Thank you for your help in advance..

 

Is this any thing to worry about?

CMW was the funder of this feature and its original purpose was to create safety slots against aggressive join reserved slot kicks. Basically if a person was in teamspeak and in game but didn't have a reserved slot, they were still protected from being kicked by someone else on the reserved list joining. This was done by enabling the reserved slot perk on the teamspeak players.

 

A player is marked as active in the teamspeak player list when they are both in game and in a monitored teamspeak channel. Basically you can give safety slots, autobalance whitelist, teamkilltracker whitelist, etc to players who are both in teamspeak and in game.

 

If you are not enabling the perks there is no other use for that feature aside from logs regarding who has joined ts along-side their player at this time.

Excellent. Do you know which versions of the plugin have issued those reports?

Additionally please make sure you are keeping your versions updated, the current latest patch is 6.7.0.104.

I'm restarting server every day, so AdKats is up to date. Reports 1 and 2 - AdKats 6.7.0.98.

Because we found a rare case where an admin ending the round early then the player switching to a different server could cause battlelog's kill/hit stats to mess up, the LIVE script could then issue a false positive ban. That's been patched now, but it's still in report mode until i'm sure something like that won't happen again.

This has happened on two occasions now, and I'm not quite sure why. What am I doing wrong?

If it was working for a while then stopped something happened to either your layer or database. Make sure your user for AdKats is the same as stat logger.

 

Shut down your layers running AdKats.

 

Run this setup script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ad...ter/adkats.sql

 

Install this version of AdKats: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ad...test/AdKats.cs

 

Start your layers.

 

Let me know if the problem continues.

Just checked and you're right. I did not know an outdated script was included with that plugin zip...

 

Looks like i need to release this next update ASAP.

Records with command 'previous temp ban' are never meant to be executed by the plugin. If something is causing that it's not from AdKats. Prophet?

There was an old ticket put in for something like this but never implemented. Might be worth looking at it again.

Could be the adkats_read value was set to N and it caused adkats attempt to run it.

How much of a donation and how long to get it done ?

So something in the acp caused this?

Here is the existing feature request: https://github.com/AdKats/AdKats/issues/534

 

Let me know all the options/features you want it to have on that issue and we can discuss it then.

But now when they for instance use C4 they get punished instead of it saying the player is command locked.

Interesting, i'll look into it.

So that when someone is banned on bf4db.com, adkats would kick the player from the server.

You might even make it so that you can choose to kick for hacking/cheating and/or statspadding.
