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.

Thanks for all your help on this, with the def being correct, then the live HSK should not have triggered a sniper rifle? Could be anything to do with my post below and github? I have seen someone els

LOL. just lol. this has nothing to do with your procon version. The connection from your server to github fails. This is neither related to the plugin nor to procon.

When you start up the plugin it uses the last 5 startups of the plugin to estimate how long it will take for your specific layer/database. This way when you try to issue a command after a layer reboot it will tell you the estimated percentage complete for startup, and how much time it has left.

 

Some of you are on local databases so startup time is a few seconds instead of a few minutes, so this is more for those remote database users than anything else.

Our Game Provider is NFO and we ended up getting a single core virtual server to run Procon, TeamSpeak, databases, etc. Startup times went from several minutes to about 20 seconds

I did notice this on the Adkats logs:

 

[14 users, 2 Special Players, 1383 Fetched Players]

 

I know what the 14 user and 2 special Players are, but what in the heck is the 1383 fetched players. I think that is what is bogging down my load up time. Is there some box that I accidently checked that is causing this? I have no idea what the 1383 Fetched Players is coming from. But I believe this is what is slow down my start up.

 

ColColonCleaner any suggestions or help!__!!

I'm at work right now so i can't itemize all the things that could cause this, so i'll do it when i get home. That is why i added the fetched players number, so people have a hint that something is wrong with the config if it's too high.

I need their full names to be able to see what the issue is. If they have special characters in their name, such as periods, dollar signs, anything not alphanumeric/hyphens/dashes, this is a known existing issue. These things were not changed recently.

Ok those are new. Do the errors keep showing up for the same players over and over or are they different players?

DPS Automatic Ban [L86A2-90-578-95] [AutoAdmin]

 

I suppose the middle number are the kills? But what do the other two mean? We picked three different banned players and checked their stats at BF4Stats. None of the players had suspicious stats for the weapons (DPS) they were banned for!?

 

The HSK ban works perfectly!

 

Thank you for your answer!

I'm noticing this in our logs as well, i'll be patching it shortly.

The numbers are described here: https://github.com/AdKats/AdKats#posting-method*

 

It needs some updating but that's the general idea.

 

Your player was dealing an average of 90 damage per hit over 578 kills. In other words basically 1 shotting everyone.

 

It's 4-weapon-dps-kills-headshots

There are different players. These are the ones that I found first on the list.

Thank you for the quick response and sorry that I was too blind to find this description myself. I usually just read the lower part of the manual where you describe every section. I might change that behavior...

 

The numbers make totally sense now!

Thank you for this great tool!

Sorry missed this. Do you have them set to deny on trigger or deny on spawn? Set them to deny on both. Also check to make sure you don't have your map specific settings enabled.

As for the startup times, what number comes back when you run this query:

 

select count(stat_id) from adkats_statistics;

I'm not very good at this so I hope I did it right. But when I run it, I get this error:

 

#1146 - Table 'c962102_BF4Stats.adkats_statistics' doesn't exist

Also, i added a patch that should fix the 'cant find player on spawn' issue.

Can you tell me how do I do that?

If you rent the MYSQL, you should have access to the login panel. If so, look under the settings. If you can't do that, I would contact whomever you have the MYSQL with and ask them to look into it for you.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.
