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.

Not really, it will only affect player's reputation.

 

Wait for an update from prophet which fixes the issue with report deny using the wrong action ID, then run this query:

 

update adkats_records_main set command_action = 42 where command_type = 18 and command_action = 41;

There is not a !coms command in AdKats, did you change another command's text to be 'coms'? What does this coms command do?

 

Where are you trying to issue this !coms command from?

I want the guys on user list not to get kicked via ping enforcer

 

do I set it to true or false?

Yes. Enabling that will make the plugin ignore all players on your user list.

 

Alternatively you can assign individual roles to the latency whitelist in section 4-2.

I'm assuming AdKats isn't controlling your reserved slot list yet, so you need to start by doing that.

 

Copy all the names currently in your reserved slot list, this is important because AdKats will wipe the list once you turn on control of it.

Turn on 'Feed server reserved slots' in the orchestration setting section. Your reserved slot list in procon will now be empty.

If you want an automatic reserved slot given to admins, simply enable that setting, which appears after turning on the feed.

 

Now we need to set it up so everyone who's given a reserved slot manually also has a ping kick whitelist. Here's how:

 

Make a new role called Reserved Slot, this is the role we will assign to any random person you want given a reserved slot.

In section 4-2, assign this new Reserved Slot role both the reserved slot and latency whitelist types.

Now anyone given the 'Reserved Slot' role will have both reserved slots and ping kick whitelists. (this is actually how we handle reserved slots in our own servers)

Now, make new users for each of the people in your previous reserved slot list (those who aren't already assigned to other roles), then give those people this new 'Reserved Slot' role.

Make sure for each of the new users you make that they have soldiers automatically assigned. If they don't get automatically assigned a soldier you will need to manually assign it.

 

For anyone new you want to add for reserved slots in the future, just follow the same steps, make a new user for them, and assign them the reserved slot role you made.

 

This is also nice for expiration of reserved slots, you can just change the expire date on their user and they will automatically lose their slots after the given date.

I have made a insanelimits plugin that when you type in !coms into the chat it gives you a list of commands that you can uses like !rank, !serverstats, ect ect

There is already a command for this in AdKats. The default text for it is !help, just look through your command list. You can change it to !coms if you want. It will tell the player all the commands their role can access.

 

In the 'command settings' section (section 5) you will see two list settings, external player commands, and external admin commands. You can put in these sections the commands outside of AdKats that players can use. So for example if you have a !stats command that AdKats doesn't know about, just add !stats to the player command list.

For gmail you need to allow the application access to your account. I don't remember where the settings are because I haven't used it in a long time, but there is a place where you set external program access to your account. Only then will it allow access to your account.

Integration with BF4DB for ban enforcement is not planned. A command that fetches their cheat score is planned but not scheduled yet.

Your stat logger plugin hasn't been running for long enough. Make sure that plugin is up and running for a couple rounds before you enable AdKats. There is some information it puts in the database that AdKats needs.

You can put in these sections the commands outside of AdKats that players can use. So for example if you have a !stats command that AdKats doesn't know about, just add !stats to the player command list.

I have added that command to section 5 in "External player" and "External Admin" commands and when a player types in the !coms in to chat its still popping this message up.

It should be fixed once you get your clock in order. Your layer is trying to offset everything to match your database time (the correct time) and something is being lost in translation. Once your clock is fixed let me know if you still see this.

  • 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.

    • 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.
