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.

Running Version 6.9.0.141 and haven't noticed any freezing.

Sometimes it remains running in game, as in you can still interact with it via in-game commands, however sometimes after 12 hours or so being online it will freeze and become unresponsive completely. I'm unsure why this is happening. Is anyone else seeing this?

 

Also. Last night i posted an update to some of the auto-nuke processing, just small messaging things. On top of that I completely renamed all of the 'hacker-checker' stuff in AdKats to simply 'AntiCheat', and added code to update the commands involved with that.

 

If you modified your hcwhitelist or unhcwhitelist command text you will need to do it again. They are now acwhitelist and unacwhitelist by default.

Updating to the latest version fixes that persona issue, assuming you're on 6900 still.

 

As for the bans i can write a query to disable those bans.

1 our server working on 6.9.0.0 and this log is not coming, it's come only from 6.9.0.144 runned version of AdKats.

This record is formed even if the player did not change the clantnag.

 

PS I saw this from many players, not from one

Last month I noticed this. What I just did not try, change the machine for procon, reinstall Windows, Nothing helps, every day we have to restart the procon service and I had to put the restart for every 3 hours automatically to avoid questions from server admins

Before all work fine, and procon restarted once in 24 hours.

 

I thought maybe this is due to the overflow of our database, which already has more than 10GB.

Did you add this change to your database?

 

myrcon.net/...advanced-in-game-admin-and-ban-enforcer-adkats#entry42254

 

If that's not added, stat logger will keep erasing player's clan tags in the database.

 

That log is made when a player changes clan tag, however I see that the log is also made when their first clan tag is fetched from battlelog. I'll stop it from making a log in that case.

Oh thank you.

I wish you would have brought this to my attention sooner. Needing to restart that often is not good. I am only seeing this issue now. I'm not sure what is causing it but anything that you can provide would be helpful.

 

The best thing you could probably do to help is change AdKats to level 10 debug, and send me the log file after you realize procon has stopped responding.

Okay, i set debag level 10 on 1 GS, i hope is this enough or do you need as many servers as possible?

We have 3 server with latest AdKats.

No just one layer that is freezing should get the very high debug level. When AdKats is placed at debug level 8 or higher all of the thread information is printed at the beginning of each log line. The log file will be enormous but it should catch any threading blockages or issues.

 

You said you started noticing this last month. Do you remember which version of AdKats you were on at the time?

 

All of AdKats functions are threaded away from the main UI, so they should not cause any blockages inside procon itself (i.e. you'd only see the plugin stop responding, not procon itself). Additionally, procon includes a 1 minute timeout when executing a plugin's custom functions, and kills the request to the plugin if the time expires, so that again shouldn't cause an issue. That makes this a very difficult issue to track.

Ah, no, my procon completely stops responding, not only Adkats.

 

It is started as a service, the service itself works, but Procon not responding and help only restart service.

Do you remember what version you were on when you started seeing this?

 

Also, do you know if in-game actions still work when the UI stops responding?

 

EDIT: Also, do you have a memory monitor on the service? How much memory is it using by the time it freezes? Ruling out a memory leak being the problem.

No, i setup auto-update for Adkats and not remember on what version of Adkats this beggin.

 

We not use procon as UI, i only setup layer as service, and we never connect to procon as client for administration. Admins use chat or BFACP only.

 

However, I started logging on one of the servers and if you want I will provide you with logs in a couple of days.

 

PS. when procon stops responding, no one plugins work, not only Adkats, So I think our problems are different, and I did not correctly understand you post to which I originally responded.

No, i not have memory monitor, Now I'll watch it.

Put I have an alert (push notifications) on ProCon machine like Pulseway, which notifies me about the lack of resources, I never received any notifications that there is not enough memory, so I think there are no problems with memory leaks.

no change,

Also when you delete a user sometimes the user stays in the list but the "delete User?" and "Add Soldier?" text is missing, So you have to pick the line and retype delete to remove them.

 

I don't know if this will help but I noticed that this is happening when there are players on the same IP are in different user group. I'll test a bit more today,

What do you mean the text is missing or 'pick the line'?

 

Also, run this on your database, what gets returned?

 

select * from adkats_commands where command_id in (65, 99)

  • 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
