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.

I rent a test Layer by them but cant find my MySQL stuff and FTP login :/

 

Thanks

Controls for your layer are here, including FTP: http://control.branzone.com/Template.services.aspx

 

I'm not sure where they give you your MySQL server info, they should tell you. Layers don't come with databases, you have to order it separate i think.

  • Changed how AdKats interacts with the chat tab. All messages set to server and players by AdKats will be shown in that tab along with player chat.
  • Implemented server rules on request internally. That plugin's author has not updated his plugin to allow multiple command prefixes (@, !, /) at the same time, so it needed to be done. It also logs whenever a player requests rules to the database. You can use pre-message IDs mixed with full messages in the rules list.
  • Added an option in "messaging settings" to display the kicking/banning admin name in the kick/ban announcement.

Greetz

Are you using ban enforcer? Not advised for battlefield 4 until webadmin is released for that game version. Not because it doesn't work, but because you won't be able to modify your bans very easily after adding them.

 

You will need to find the player ID for your soldier in tbl_playerdata, then locate that soldier's ban in adkats_banlist by the player ID, then change ban_status to "Disabled".

Thanks

Yeah it's like that too in procon with EA GUID, so annoying I'd have thought it would be fixed by now.

That is why i made the ban enforcer. The bf3/bf4 server banlist is abysmal, it doesn't give any option to enforce or display multiple fields at once. Don't worry though, all player data is stored by stat logger, so the minute we release webadmin for BF4 all of your bans will be connected with the appropriate player names, IPs, and any other data.

 

Report is planned to add email support soon.

Feed server reserved slots is set to True, I also have added all my players to the AdKats players access list , and they have at least a lvl 6 access. Users with even 0 or 1 access do not work also...Everything else seems to be working... just not reserved slots

 

Edit: I think it worked..... I think it just took some time for it to sync to the server reservedslot.txt file..

Try restarting your procon layer/instance. I just tried it with the latest code and it worked perfectly.

Reserve slots are currently broken, no ETA from DICE it seems.

Someone didn't read the release notes :ohmy:

 

The code has been dormant in AdKats for months now, we set it to only activate on ADK servers while we tested it. It doesn't catch everyone, but across our 4 BF3 servers it bans about ~20 people a day. If you leave the default values for DPS and HSK checking you shouldn't get any false positives which was our main concern. Our current settings are +50% over normal for DPS threshold, and > 50% HSK for automatic weapons, but i would suggest leaving the settings default for now. Just turn on both the DPS checker and HSK checker.

 

You can see the bans it posts on our site here: http://www.adkgamers.com/forum/127-b...n-submissions/

 

Documentation is here: https://github.com/ColColonCleaner/A...with-whitelist

 

Only the BF3 version has been released, we are still working on the BF4 version.

I am getting this error "[statslogger]Error: getUpdateServerID1: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Unknown column 'GameID' in 'field list'" when i run statslogger version 1.0.0.1 on my current bf3 databases. I'm also using adkats test version 3.7.0.2.

This is not an issue with AdKats. You cannot run the universal version of stat logger on the old BF3 stat logger's database, it does not work. You must continue using the BF3 version if you want to keep your BF3 database information, or create a new database to run the universal version on.

You mean if chat is going fast and you miss the report? I've been thinking about implementing this for some time now but didn't see a truly valid reason. Will get back to you on how I plan on implementing this...

  • 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.
