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.

Thanks for all your help on this, with the def being correct, then the live HSK should not have triggered a sniper rifle? Could be anything to do with my post below and github? I have seen someone els

LOL. just lol. this has nothing to do with your procon version. The connection from your server to github fails. This is neither related to the plugin nor to procon.

AdKats responds to commands from admin say messages, this is how some AutoAdmins like proconrulz can orchestrate the commands to do whatever you want. Your spambot is inadvertently trying to issue the rules command, add something in front of your ! so it doesn't think you're trying to issue a command.

 

Or you can disable parsing commands from admin say, command settings.

One question I have is this, if my clan tag was 1234, would I list it in the String[] Array as 1234 or [1234]. I have tried it out both ways and it will not kick or ban me. I have even gone into adkats and turned my admin status to Default Guest and it still is not working.

 

Any ideas or suggestions on how to get this to work?

We have this working on our servers for clan tags D1CE and DlCE, spoofs of the DICE tag, not sure why it would be failing on your servers. If you do a !find on your player, what is the tag it shows for you? Is the tag it shows correct?

Yes, it is showing the correct tag when I use the !find.

 

Also, could you answer my question about the [ ] Do you have to use the brackets when entering the tag such as [1234] or do you enter it as just 1234 and no need to add brackets.

 

Again I am listed as an admin within Adkats, but when I tested it out on myself it did not work. I then changed my status to Default Guest and still did not work.

 

One more thing, do I need to reboot layer server for this to take effect? That's one thing that I had not done.

 

Any Ideas?

You do not need to add brackets. Have you tried other players or just yourself?

Links are in the requirements section at the top of that thread.

 

You can create a backup of your stat logger database then import it to your new one, whichever the host.

I've purchased a Branzone database and not being a dba administrator, what is the best way to import a large db without getting HTTP timeout? Just keep getting "You probably tried to upload a file that is too large."

You can connect directly with a client like MySQL Workbench and do the import that way. But if that does not work I would suggest contacting their support and asking how to import a large DB.

In the future development of Adkats, I would suggest that there be a feature to let admins test ban themselves to see if various features of Adkats is working correctly. I know in the past, I could do that, but with recent upgrades it seems that as an admin I cannot test out features of Adkats because it will not take action on an admin.

 

But wow, nice job with what you have created with Adkats. Your system has made myself and my 12 other admins jobs a lot easier.

 

Thank you so much for this project.

The problem is I don't remember adding admin immunity to that system. I looked back and took a quick glance at the code and there is no admin immunity, at least on the surface. I'll look a little bit further into why it wasn't acting on you when it had your tag, but it definitely wasn't supposed to give admin immunity.

 

Unless you blocked the permaban command from being issued on admins with the command whitelist? That would have definitely blocked it. Or giving your own personal player command whitelist with permaban in there. That also would have done it.

Where exactly would I look to see if I had done that? I don't recall doing that, but with all my grey hair I am sure its a possibility.

Look in the command settings section and see if the command whitelist contains player_ban_perm. Also look at the verbose command whitelist and see if your player is included in that.

[15:12:48] AdKats > AdKats startup complete [12s]. Commands are now online.

[15:12:58] AdKats > Server in populating mode.

 

Is there another Plugin to set the admins/special users or should I manipulate the mySQL-Database?

Instructions on adding users are here: https://github.com/AdKats/AdKats#user-ranks-and-roles

 

Use setting section 3 to add your users/soldiers. Special players are not needed for basic setup.

If you run the /uptime command it will tell you the uptime of AdKats and the procon layer. If it's just AdKats rebooting then we can look into it, but if it's your whole layer i'm not sure what it would be.

 

Also suggest running /pupdate on your layers.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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
