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.

Found the problem - I checked the events.log and saw the line "Events logging started: Sunday, 30 August 2015 09:35:48" which gave me a time to start looking for. Then checked the plugin.log for around that time and saw "[09:35:45] [MULTIbalancer]:0 ERROR: Unable to append to log file:"

 

I was using a program that would periodically copy the log files to our web server so other Clan members would have access to them. I believe the program was locking the file when it was copying it and multibalancer couldn't write to the file when it was locked and it would then crash Procon

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.

Not sure why that would have caused all of procon to crash, unless it was using procon to do that logging instead of doing it manually. Glad you found the issue.

Can you please tell us where did you updated the damage stats ? I'm asking because I still see 6.8.0.10 version when I have updated AdKats, and I still see those warning messages.

I really want to know how people with these names are getting into the servers. That's why i added that warning message. Nobody should be able to set their player name to something like that. Only alphanumerics, hyphens, and underscores are allowed, with a max of 16 characters.

dunno how the damage of "46" has been calculated but it has to be wrong. server is always HC though...

 

until its fixed i got to turn off my beloved admin tool...

 

/is it possbile that if two bullets in one packet arrive, the dmg is calculated once and not as for two bullets? just a thought.

You can always whitelist the player, /hcwhitelist perm playername.

 

I can look into the statistics more for hardcore only servers, looks like this is an edge case.

 

EDIT: You will not see an incorrect hit count due to damage being packaged into the same update.

Whitelisting yourself is a measure to take until i've patched the system further, it's not a permanent fix. The only information on hardcore servers i've received are from other communities, and while i've received a lot of feedback i've never been able to test hardcore directly.

 

HSK bans have a minimum of 100 kills, so if he's getting banned with less than that it's not through my system.

it was a dps ban :ohmy:

A dps ban on a pistol with less than 100 kills on a hardcore server, that means he triggered it by getting more than 275% normal damage with that pistol, and even higher than that if he was getting headshots. Please send more info so i can understand how that could be an invalid ban.

Unfortunately our server is offline now (problem with our GSP DC). That info I have seen in patchnote:

Sorry for the late response.

 

There might be a new cause for this on that map. Do you have kill logs for your players so you can look at what kills led to this?

 

Or, is there a new pickup weapon on that map that isn't on battlelog yet?

    • 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
