In my procon i see messages like

 

 

 

i cant make anything out of these xD

Firstly, please update to the latest test version, that message is made easier to understand there, and fewer numbers in the way.

 

Keep in mind this will only work properly on a single map, or on maps with the same number of flags (if you want it really accurate).

 

You use the numbers it spits out on the chat tab to find your 'window' to start the auto-nuke triggers. Since tickets go down in conquest most of these numbers will be negative, it means the number of tickets the team is losing per minute. We can't actually know how many flags they have, it has to be calculated.

 

Usually the winning team will be 999 to -5 flag tickets lost per minute, for a winning team they will be losing almost 0 tickets from flags. The losing team on the other hand is where you need to practice with this. Monitor the ticket loss rates during a baserape, where you want it to trigger, and set up your window to contain that value.

 

For exmaple:

 

You notice for a baserape that the losing team is around -60 tickets per minute. So try setting your 'window' for the losing team at -55 to -65, or something along those lines. Just make sure the numbers you see during the baserape are inside the window you set. If you get the window values mismatched it will automatically correct it, for example if you try to put -50 in the minimum, and -60 in the maximum, since -60 is less than -50.

 

If you have any more questions, let me know.

Anyways cant you do something like Multibalancer Unstacking settings but instead of balancing players, Do a nuke? something for baserape so it does not depend on anything but tickets?

 

For example...

lets say i have this naval strike server with 2000 tickets

 

and I would like to set auto-nuke like this

 

definition of early phase as tickets from start 200

definition of late phase as tickets from end 400

If all the flags are taken, And if Max tickets difference Is 200

 

 

Now if the winning team have all the flags and the tickets gap is +200

then auto-nuke the wining team

 

This would work and makes a good balance for round tickets on every servers, plus a great balance especially when your auto balancer can not do anything when the server is full, of course for baserapes too because if enemy have all the flags after 5-10 minutes enemy has nothing to do but attacking their base I have +3500h in bf4 xD it is always been like this everywhere

as an admin i do not care if one player baserapes, I want the round to be fair of tickets not one team gets stuck and lose 1900T - 0T

Please open an issue on github for ticket based nuking on github. We can discuss the details/funding there.

Port 587 is common for gmail, but i'm not sure about normal ssl. Have you tried port 465?

its not gmail, its the webserver/mailserver from our hoster

 

IMAP: vwebXX.nitrado.net, Port 993, SSL/TLS

SMTP: vwebXX.nitrado.net, Port 25, STARTTLS

POP3: vwebXX.nitrado.net, Port 110 w/o SSL / Port 995 with SSL/TLS

this is what they say on their page

What is the message in the records for these players.

 

Is it:

 

Assist Weak Team

 

Or:

 

Auto-assist Weak Team

 

Look at the records on their soldier.

 

The faction randomizer assigns random factions to each team, given some restrictions.

 

For the source weight errors, prophet knows how to fix that. It has to do with unbanning from the GCP, it's a temp/permaban code mismatch.

I think, we have some misunderstanding...

Player writing !assist command. AdKats move player. After helping team, AdKats move him back.

We need to disable moving back after assisting.

People who are not admins, but are still donators have a normal reserved slots, that gives them queue advantage (not direct join on server). !join for non-admins allows them to switch to friends, only on the same team.

Adkats plugin is fine but it's dependency on XpKiller's "Procon Chat, GUID, Stats and Mapstats Logger" Plugin creates a problem.

 

Xpkillers plugin returns a lot of errors (u can find many examples on here) and the "non official" version just crashes procon so unfortunately I cant use the Adkats plugin.

I seem to be having a problem with ban sync again and have verified that my server groups are the same in PrCon stat logger. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

If there was a way to easily remove that dependency then that would have already been done. What do you mean it just crashes procon? What errors do you see?

You have an error injected by an old version of the BFAdminCP, please talk to prophet. I would suggest checking your server groups in the tbl_server table itself to make sure they are the same, also make sure you are running the ban enforcer on both servers and they are on the same database.

If BF1 does come out with support for RCON i'll be helping with that transition, for both Procon itself, and with my plugins. It's just the prospect that this is the end of RCON support, or procon in general, that really kills my interest in keeping things updated/fresh.

Colonel, thank you for this great plugin, all your time and your support to the community.

I don't think that DICE will release BF1 without RCON support. It's still based on the Frostbite engine. They could do that IMHO only with a completely new game engine.

nah they could easily just disable RCON support or the RCON ports on any server and then thats gone which would make us completely unable to administrate our servers if the wouldnt implement any kind of "in-game" admin tool

 

i really do hope they leave the RCON support in, it would suck without

 

i dont want any server without AdKats anymore, its just simply the best way of administrating a server

I am not understanding how to set this up. For example, how would I set it up to drop the high ping kick from 200 to 100 say from 1PM to 11PM Pacific time. I am not understanding how I would fill in the data.

 

Could you give me an example of how I would set it up in Adkats.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

I agree, that DICE can easily disable RCON support, however think about it few more seconds. Why DICE would want to do that ? Who will buy a BF1 server without any administration tools ? I will not buy a server on which I will not have a live administration rights. I really doubt that DICE is considering to remove RCON support.

It's more than possible that they won't use battlelog for bf1 and host all servers like they do with battlefront, i think.

You could just disable it during that time, considering that you have an admin on playing at that time with the access to do so?

The documentation is right here:

 

https://github.com/AdKats/AdKats/blob/master/README.md

 

CCC explains how to use the enforcer near the end of the readme in part B21.

 

At every state of your server (low, med, high population) you will find an almost empty text part. Just write -100 beginning from line 13 (equals 1PM). The -100 means that you reduce your set up maximum allowed ping by hundred. Do that for all the population states and hours you like.

 

I hope that helped...

I had reviewed CCC documentation, but alas I couldn't figure it out. (Not an expert in this things)

 

But your explanation helped greatly! Thank you!

I added a setting to help figure this out. At the top of the ping limit settings there is a setting that shows the calculation of the current ping limit based on the population modifiers, and also what hour number is associated with the current time. It will be 0 at midnight layer time, and 23 and 11PM layer time. You set the list of modifiers based on how you want it to change during those hours.

 

Like this. say i want the limit to be 100ms higher from 5am to 10am layer time, and 100ms lower from 2pm to 5pm, for some reason.

 

This would be what shows up in that list. There are 24 lines, one for each hour of the day.
