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?

No problem CCC, i know you are a busy man.

 

Where can i find the kill logs ?

 

I will roam around the map and look for anything new. Only thing i can think of is the machines that crush you on flag D. Maybe the levolution event?

Is it possible to use Infraction Points in conjunction with the ProconRulz?

 

For this rule:

Code:

On Kill;Damage Shotgun
    Say [KILLED] %p% using %w%
	VictimSay Your abuser was killed for violating the rules!
	PlayerSay =======WARNING=======
	PlayerSay No Shotguns/Explosives/Grenades
	PlayerSay Please follow the rules;
	PlayerYell 120 This server is No Explosives/Shotguns/Smoke/Grenades! If you continue you will be kicked from the server! | Write to the chat: !done | to missing this message or wait 120 seconds;
Kill 1

I just want that the IP work with my rule and punish especially idiots who do not understand the rules and breaks them every day

If you don't have kill logs through some external service like gameme or logging kills through procon the only way i you can look up the weapon kill codes would be the plugin logs. The plugin puts up a list of all the kills before banning the player for magic bullet, it is a 'WARNING:" message. Look at the plugin logs to see what that message was before the player was banned and post it here.

 

The only thing i can think of would be a new pick up weapon because the rest of that map was already existing with zavod, just making it night. If a new weapon was made but isn't on battlelog that will cause it to trigger. I don't think the crushers would get someone 10 kills in a match.

But I have problems with the email notification system. I get no emails. I tested it by "@admin xxrunnerxx statspadding". I get an info in Chat, but no email.

 

How can I test the correctness of my email-configuration in Adkatz?

There is already a system for this, B27, turn on the populator monitor. Don't forget to set the correct low/high population settings in section 1. There are docs for this system.

All you need to issue an AdKats command from ProconRulz is issuing a hidden admin say.

Sometimes for gmail you need to give application access, then use that application password as the password to connect.

Hey bud, now i using IP system with my proconrulz - works greate but not with AdKatsLRT

If my rule punished somebody - AdKatsLRT starts checking the loadout even if "Trigger Enforce Minimum Infaction Points" set at 2, Why AdKatsLRT starts checking the loadout when I have only 1 Infaction Point?

My rule in proconrulez: blablabal;Say /punish %p% No Explosives/Shotgun/Grenades server!

 

I think you need to rename /punish for the command AdKatsLRT to like: /check

Triggers cause loadout checks. Triggers include: Having more than x infraction points, being marked, and being punished. Punish is one of the triggers that cause loadout checks.

Just to have a public display of the people? It automatically handles reserved slots and other perks.

 

You would need to make a page that does the same query on the database that it does for fetching active populators.

I think it's ridiculous. Why /punish start check loadout if i set 2 to Trigger Enforce Minimum Infaction Points? This means that this function is not needed at all, because with every /punish (issuance Infaction Points).

 

I thought it would work this way:

1) First punish for violation of the rules = Kill and getting 1 Infaction Points

2) The second punish for violation of the rules = Kick from the server and getting 1 Infaction Points 1+1=2

3) The player joins to the server again and AdKatsLRT starts check the loadout because that the player is idiot and can not understand that the server is No Explosives/Shotguns/Grenades

 

I think it would be better!

That permission message is not from AdKats. Confirm you do not have any other admin tool plugins or external services running looking for yell commands (or others like that) on your server.

Oh sorry, it was a web interface RCON tool.

Also man, I would like to thank you for the great plugins, our servers are rank 20 world wide and the German one is getting in the lead too.

Once again thank you

In the "Affected Top Players it is set at Good and above.

 

Any ideas as to why it is not identifying top players or what setting do I need to have turn on to make this work. In Section B27-2 I have turn on the Monitor / Disperse Top Players to true, yet nothing is happening.

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you in advance for your help.

How many players are in the affected list? I would suggest selecting 'Ok and Above' until you get a fair amount of players in there, then raising it back to good and above.

 

I forget if I put a hard restriction on it, but it should require that you have post win/loss/baserape statistics enabled. If it does not require that I need to patch it so it makes you enable that. It's in the orchestration settings I believe, enable posting of win/loss statistics.

When I activated this function, it only required me to activate one of the Orchestration Settings. I think it was the Feed MULTIBalancer Whitelist. (I'm guessing on which Orchestration, but I believe it is this one).

 

However I did not have the posting of win/loss statistics enabled and have now done so. So no, when you activate this feature, it does not make you activate the win/loss statistics section, just eh Multibalancer.

 

Thank you for the fast response.

Alright i'll patch that, turn on the win/loss posting and your list will begin to populate.

CCC: Would you be able to weigh in on this?

Digging into the service called for a battle report you can find hit counts; useful for the future.

 

His report: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4.1/1126654944/

 

According to that he has 24 kills, 20 hits, so either he was using a valid unnamed weapon that kills more than one person per hit or it was a legit magic bullet ban. He tried to mask it using the 338 but the plugin sees straight past that. Cheers.

 

EDIT: To clarify. He got 12 kills and 20 hits with valid weapons, 9 of those kills being a sniper rifle the low hit count makes sense. Then he got 12 kills with a non-existent weapon and no hits were recorded. This is possible on maps with death areas like the fire pipes on lockers or the ceiling tiles on metro which is why I have detection to block those kind of false positives, but this was on rouge where there is nothing like that.

Your battlefield server is rebooting? AdKats has the ability to do that but only via command issued by an admin. Make sure someone is not issuing these commands or using commands embedded in admin say messages. There are no automated settings to reboot battlefield servers in AdKats. Are you sure the server is not just crashing or blaze disconnecting?

Yes, as if someone would use the /shutdown command. However, no admin used this command.

 

There are no automated settings to reboot battlefield servers in AdKats. Are you sure the server is not just crashing or blaze disconnecting?

No, according to Fail.log the server gets restarted.

 

Will talk to the support again... because I can't really believe that AdKats is causing it. Thank you anyway.
