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.

EDIT: That is how AdKats determines who is considered 'Admin', whether they have access to any admin commands. That spectating message is sent to all admins.

I got it. Which of these teams are considered an administrator teams, because of which and displays the input and output of the spectator?

Your default guest role is fine, that role cannot be given admin commands. It's one of your other roles.

 

Do you only have 2 roles or have you created more?

Having said that, by failing to keep updating the instructions and settings, you are making it harder for us non-computer smart people from getting the most out of this system. Some times the instructions are hard to understand for people with limited computer skills so if you can provide more information when writing instructions and do not assume that we know the basics because a lot of us do not.

 

I just want to request that you update the instructions as fast as you update this program so us limited skilled admins can try to figure out how to get the most out of this program.

 

Please do not read this as a criticism of your work because I love this program. I just need a bit more help from you by you keeping the settings and instructions section of this system up to date better than it currently is.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Absolutely. I normally update them with every full release. I believe the last update was 6.8.0.0. There will be another full update for 6.9.0.0.

 

There are a lot of new features in the test versions that people may see, but the vast majority of users are on stable versions so the docs are kept for that.

 

What are the specific areas that are unclear right now? I can work on improving them.

 

EDIT: I could keep a testing version of the docs, and update those docs when new features go in for testing, leaving the normal docs alone. Shouldn't be too difficult. I'll work on that.

That would be perfect.

 

For example, the latest addition of Battlecry, Took me about an hour to figure out because there were no instructions and it was only when I notice I had to give the admins and / or players the power to use it that I was able to figure it out.

 

In the past, I have read your instructions and had some time figuring out what you meant. An example would be the Team Speak feature that I was not able to figure out for some time until another person posted detailed instructions.

 

I just want you to know that from a novice person's point of view, that we do not always understand the instructions posted in your documents section. I have seen post from other people who are also having some problems understand the instructions.

 

I'm old, grey haired, and never had training on computers, so I basically have to figure things out by myself. And I know just enough to be dangerous!

 

With this said, thank you for your work. It has made running my 3 servers so much easier!

If I remove these functions from them, then they will cease to enter the queue on the server (reserved slot), can not enter the spectator (spectator slot), right_!

You are confusing groups with commands.

 

The spectator slot command allows someoene to give someone else reserved slots on your server, you shouldn't be giving that to non-admins.

 

The spectator slot group and other groups are assigned in section 4-2, go there are assign the ones you want.

Now it should show more informative messages to players/admins, if it works properly.

Ah, i thought you meant the chat logs AdKats uses. If you just want the normal chat logs then you can turn on chat logging on your procon layer. It's in the same place that you turn on event logging and procon plugin logging. You just need to turn on the chat logging option and reboot your layer. If you do not know where this setting is ask your layer host.

Ah, dang, i need to remove that message. There can only be 15 people in the server spectator slot list, so AdKats is constantly trying to add more and failing. Your stuff will still work correctly, you'll just get spammed every 5 minutes when it tries to update. Open a ticket to remove this message so i don't forget.

Great! Glad the base functions are working. Now, go to your 'command settings' section in AdKats. There is a new setting for nuke countdown. Set that to the number of seconds you want and see if it works.

 

If it works, it should countdown for both the admin issued nukes, and the auto-nukes.

Not really. You said you were doing !cdown for this, but now you don't need to do that anymore, it's automatically handled by the nuke command.

 

All auto-nuke does is fire the !nuke command automatically, admins can do the same thing, and the countdown is used in both cases.

Auto nuke running count also works! However, there is this thing, to put 15 seconds or 20 seconds, I can not, the value does not change just adkatse, 10 seconds and all.

Alright i'll duplicate the setting down in the auto-nuke section.

 

Now, i noticed that for the last nuke then surrender it nuked the team then immediately ended the round. I should probably make it reset the trigger count when doing the transition from nuke to ending the round.

A good idea.

 

P.S

I stopped working team /.punish after upgrading to this version, what's wrong? In Adkatse writes AdKats> Access to commands using that method has been disabled in AdKats settings. But this feature is enabled adkats oftTFo7.png

Section 5, command settings. 'Allow Commands from Admin Say', you turned that off.

Those are both new sections added recently. I'll be writing up full docs on them soon.

 

Basically, pushbullet allows you to send in-game reports to cell phones and desktops as notifications.

 

Battlecries is a feature someone paid for, basically messages that get shown to everyone when the player first spawns, announcing their entrance to the server. And they can modify the messages themselves.

pushbullet is very interesting as it can be obtained?

 

With regard battlecry I do not quite understand how to add these server sponsors ..

  • 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.
