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 do they have to log into my server first in order to be able to add them?

 

When I try to add them I get the message in the above thread

 

then when I go to the line where it says "add soldier" I type add and it puts like 5 soldiers in the list of various names?

 

does this mean this original player has multiple names?

How can i give separate reserved slot and whitelist to other players? If i set a new user it will be added to whitelist/reservedslot and spectator automatically.

 

But i just want to add a player to the whitelist and not to reservedslot / spectator.

 

Hope you can help me, my english is not the best.

I have no idea which whitelist you're referring to, so i'll use ping whitelist as an example.

 

There are 2 ways to do this.

 

The first is based on roles. You can just make a new role that only has the ping whitelist assigned to it in 4-2, you don't need to assign everyone to the same role.

 

The second is with manual commands. This is easier if you only want to do it for a few players, not a lot. You can manually assign the ping whitelist to a player with the ping whitelist command /pwhitelist, there are commands for each whitelist you can find in the docs.

i have only the option to choose "deafault guest" or "full admin" so where i can create a new role?

Roles section, there is a create role line. Enter your new role name there and it will create it.

 

The new role will copy commands from your guest role (or at least it should, i don't remember), so make sure your new role has the proper commands assigned to it too.

How much memory is being used by your layer? How much are you allowing it to use?

Shut down your layer, then go into the configs directory and find the AdKats.cfg file. Either delete the settings password line, or change the password to what you want. Start your layer.

Yes it will, and you can specify how many players will be affected by it. There is no whitelist from the system. It does not move players mid-round except on first join.

There is an adkats_statistics table which holds map_benefit and map_detriment statistics. I wrote a query a while back for this but i've since forgotten where that is. I can look for it.

As it says, bad credentials, invalid hostname, invalid port, the database is down, or it cannot be connected to from your layer.

I was wondering if its possible to add a custom message when using the banned tags feature under ban enforcer. We have banned clan tags because some of their members were perceived has hackers one of their member were banned for multihack. So when they try to join all it says in "Banned Tags(tag_name)" I want a custom reason telling them who we caught and they can thank the person for said ban blah blah blah. If there is currently no way to implement this, could it be a possible feature in a near update. Something along the lines as once the tag is entered it generates a new field under the tag ban reason. Thanks for supplying us with this amazing tool. I love it along with the use of the bf admin dashboard. If my suggestion could be entertained I would be willing to donate to the development of this plugin.

 

Best Regards,

There is a reason why I banned a clan tag and I want a better description why instead of banned tag (tag). My community loves adkats and the dashboard.

Thanks for the great work.

  • 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.
