Make sure you add those triggers back to your adkats_records_main table.

shut down your layers.

Back up your bans and records table.

truncate your records table, both infractions tables, and your bans table.

reimport your records table, reimport your bans table

enable your layers.

 

The infractions system was unfortunately designed in a way that does not allow easy backup/import.

Blame the 2 year old ColonCleaner decision for this design. We really need to sit down and figure out a new DB schema.

There is a reason that setting section is now enabled by default for all users of AdKats and can't be disabled. I can count on one hand the known false positives with that system over the ~2 years it's been active. But....that's not to say it's impossible to trigger falsely, there is one way i've known for it to be triggered without warrant. There is a backup system BF servers have to store player's kills to battlelog in case of a server crash, which would be great if they also stored hit stats as well. A couple people have gotten banned by the system because a server crashed and uploaded their 30-70 kills with a weapon but 0 hits accounted for and no battlereport, which inflates their damage stats significantly. This is the only way that system trigger falsely.

Thank you for the explanation Colonel.

We kicked him now out of the platoon.

We dont support or accept such hacks/mods.

They way I did the move was do a full export of the database in Mysql workbench. Then I did an import on the other server. Not sure how anything would of gotten deleted or changed?

You can't change the server id in AdKats, that's why it says display, it's just telling you the id of the current server.

 

What you can do is type another server's id into the import field and it will import all settings from that server into this one.

Database backups don't work the way you think, and it's unfortunate the way i wrote it makes for full backup /restore messing with the infraction triggers. Will take that into account if a redesign still ends up happening, however slim a chance that may be.

I would need to design some way to make those two work together, if you really need it I would suggest opening a ticket for it.

I'm curious what issues it would cause if I enable ban enforcer, because there are some bans with player names in the reason in my banList.txt (some plugins puts the player name into reason and i have modified HC's ban messages with %player_name%)?

It's not really serious, just makes messages get lengthened when they don't need to be. So you'll see stuff like this when it starts enforcing bans:

 

Enforcing permanent ban on manbearpig for manbearpig Hacking

 

Because 'manbearpig Hacking' is the reason procon had for the ban, instead of just having the real reason 'Hacking' there.

 

If i was to allow adding player names in the procon ban list and someone was to enable then disable the ban enforcer it would get even worse, you'd end up with:

 

manbearpig manbearpig Hacking

 

as the ban reason since it would keep adding the name to the front of it. Not to mention if they changed their name at some point and it ended up with two different player names then the Hacking reason. Your ban list would get really messy as a result, and i'm trying to avoid people shooting themselves in the foot with that.

Yeah I was hoping it would be like a M$ SQL backup and restore. None the less I started over and I was able to get around the other issue I was having (I think it had to do with the database server i was trying to use).

It would be helpful to include this information and the need to delete %playername% from the ban messages of the plugins that puts player name into reason of the ban into Readme under BanEnforcer section.

Mean you can add a cmd like !baseraper and it will display a list of people currently in the db as possible baserapers?

 

EDIT

Well now it looks like it's just a list of who adkats has in it's DB as being tracked.

Yeah, including the player name in ban reasons was a crutch added because the server ban lists can't separate name from reason when doing bans by GUID.

I should have removed that section from the plugin, it helped balance but was too abusive to players.

 

If you want a balance helping script I would suggest using the top player monitor, after enabling posting of win/loss stats. It works along side multibalancer and has greatly helped balance on all of our BF4 servers.

He was using his G18 as a finisher for people he's already shot. Notice only 3 kills with 3 hits. Nothing to worry about.

You can query the database.

 

Code:

  left(`tbl_server`.`ServerName`, 25) AS `Server`, 
  `adkats_records_main`.`source_name` AS `Source`, 
  `adkats_records_main`.`record_message` AS `Feedback`, 
  concat(
    timestampdiff(
      HOUR, 
      `adkats_records_main`.`record_time`, 
      utc_timestamp()
    ), 
    'h ', 
    (
      timestampdiff(
        MINUTE, 
        `adkats_records_main`.`record_time`, 
        utc_timestamp()

          HOUR, 
          `adkats_records_main`.`record_time`,

        ) * 60
      )
    ), 
    'm'

          )
        )
      ) 
      left join `tbl_games` on(
        (
          `tbl_server`.`GameID` = `tbl_games`.`GameID`
        )

    ) 
    left join `adkats_commands` `type_command` on(
      (
        `type_command`.`command_id` = `adkats_records_main`.`command_type`
      )
    )

where 
  (

order by 
  `adkats_records_main`.`record_time` desc

Doesn't even bother if the player is in teamspeak or not it still moves them multiple times in one round.

You can turn on posting of win/loss/baserape statistics and it will post those to the database. It looks at the top 10% of the baseraping team. I would just not suggest using the system to act on that info.

Run it on your database.

Putting someone on the auto-assist list basically means they will never win a round on your server again, it will move them a lot, use that list with caution. I added it mainly because i'm a masochist and don't like being on the winning team in metro, but if others want to use it they are free to do so.

 

When people are on the top player list they are excluded from all balance activities during a round. The only time it can switch them is if they join mid-round and it assigns them to the opposite team.

 

Which balancer are you using?

OH, Ok maybe I need to RTFM more. THe bad part is since it's a new database no one is on the top players list yet, I just see adkats moving the player. And I'm using MULTIbalancer.

I think I found what I did. I set my 2 admin groups to Auto Assist Blacklist - Assign.

I see nothing on the multibalancer side that asked for a swap, adkats just did it to do it.
