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.

Ok 2041 doesn't change anything, alright.

 

So this is on your home machine?

 

You are correct that 1 server at 32 players is not enough to trigger their limits with ONLY LRT. When only using LRT on my home computer I'm able to run 64 man high request volume with no issues.

 

Which other plugins are you running? Do you have the LIVE system enabled in AdKats? What is your request limit in multibalancer?

Hi, not at HOME but here digitalocean.com

 

Correspondence with technical support when i got issue

Me: How many customers can be on the same IP?

Support: Hello, IPs are dedicated to the droplet for the duration of it's life.

Me: This means that no one can have the same IP on Droplet?

Support: Yes, that's correct.

So it looks like at my home :ohmy: because im owner

Do you have the LIVE system enabled in AdKats?

At that time, yes, but there was an error that I wrote to you above. and asked to help.

As you could see in the AdKatsLRT I use for all Trigger except Flare, RGO, V40 its on spawn.

And I use punishment system no explosives/grenades server through proconrulz through rule Code:

Say /punish [reason]
I also use BFRCON. On BFRCON a lot of servers, and BFRCON also collects statistics from battlereports, why battlelog not blocking IP BFRCON?

I don't know if it is cost effective for you - but have you considered renting a small, unmanaged VDS?

 

Our game server is hosted at NFO - and they also provide free website hosting (with mysql). When we originally started using Adkats, with the database hosted at NFO, our Adkats startup time was running around 5 minutes!

 

We already had a 2 core unmanaged VDS at NFO that runs our TeamSpeak and Procon so I installed the "Uniform Server" (runs from a folder) and the startup time has been decreased to less than 20 seconds

 

So if your paying to host TeamSpeak, Procon, etc - you may want to look into just getting a VDS. (It's about $20 monthly for us). Also there is no license fee for a TeamSpeak server up to 32 slots

Thanks for the extensive info. Having the LIVE system on while you have high request volume on is the issue. Both BF4U and I have tested that having both of those systems on is the culprit, you need to pick one or the other.

 

You should update to the latest version of LRT just because there is no difference in request rate between the two (when high is enabled).

 

I see you have battlelog requests off in multibalancer, so that is not affecting the state of your layer. And I would assume that IL only fetches once when players join so that can't be it either. Your other plugins can be disregarded as well, so it should just be AdKats and LRT being the main sources of requests on your layer.

 

Using punish via say is fine, that just causes trigger level enforcement for players.

 

BFRCON doesn't have just one machine, they have access to several hundred separate IPs for pulling their battlelog info.

 

What info do you need for 'debugging' the LIVE system?

What i have to do now? :/

I guess i'll never keep these two plugins separate for support so i'll just answer here.

 

Is your layer running on a linux machine? I've seen that security message before because you cannot communicate over https with our libraries on that platform, at least by what i've seen.

Find the Role you want to equip with reserved Slot and set the Point "reserved Slot" to assign.

 

Also on your Server FTP there's a textfile, reserved_slots.txt. I think you can add them manually there (name or GUID). Not sure tho if adkats overrides manual changes.

Any manual changes will be overwritten by the plugin.

If you are using modded code anyway and don't want it wiped when on a test version just put a return statement at the start of the CheckForPluginUpdates function so none of the update stuff runs.

Hi

 

How do I do this? Also, there are multiple CheckForPluginUpdates on the code of the test version (line 4058, 6295, 9652, 27066, and 39838)

Not searched enough. :tongue:

 

Last few pages are plagued with this issue, and it's not a plugin's issue, it's because Battlelog cut down the number of requests allowed so it temp bans your IP due to too many requests.

 

My issue dissapeared after disabling Insane Limits, I haven't got the issue since then.

Most of the errors you will see are issues connecting over https, which for some reason the plugin does not like on that OS. Get me line numbers by enabling plugin debugging on that layer and we can move from there.

How can i get you some line? I do not know where to look and what is it, so I need a tutorial from you)

Your settings were not off, you had not updated your plugin to the latest version. I've fixed that and confirmed it by spawning in your server. You should be good now.

To enable plugin debugging in your procon.cfg file on the layer side there is a enablePluginDebugging setting. Change that from False to True. Reboot your layer. Once that is enabled you should see the D in those exceptions change to a number, or see the :0 change to a file name and line number. That's the info I need.

  • Our picks

    • 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.

    • 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.
      • 4 replies
    • Added ability to disable the new API check for player country info


      Updated GeoIP database file


      Removed usage sending stats


      Added EZRCON ad banner



      If you are upgrading then you may need to add these two lines to your existing installation in the file procon.cfg. To enable these options just change False to True.

      procon.private.options.UseGeoIpFileOnly False
      procon.private.options.BlockRssFeedNews False

    • 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

    • I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
