Change that line to True, then reboot your layer.

 

Then please send me the updated exception message, even if it looks like it hasn't changed, it has.

Code:

[11:44:46] [AdKats] EXCEPTION-70117-0,01-D-<SendServerRules>b__9fc-RulePrinter42: [Error while printing server rules][System.InvalidOperationException: Die Sequenz enthält kein übereinstimmendes Element.

Strange it's not showing line numbers on the error. That -D- should be a line number now, your procon instance must not be generating/loading the .pdb debug file properly.

 

Either way i'll look into this further when I am able to access my rig again.

 

Something you can do in the meantime though. What happens if you remove all of your rules and type a new random sentence as a single rule? Save off your original rule list and try this, let me know if a single random sentence works properly on your server. If it does, try adding back each of your original rules one by one until the error happens. Keep me posted on the results.

Why? I want to create a new database with exactly the same serversettings as the old one. Would be nice if there's a way somehow to do such things :-)

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/...t-results.html

 

select * from adkats_settings where server_id = x

 

Should be what you need. Just export the results of that and import on your other database. Or if that's the only server you have just export the whole adkats_settings table.

 

Only thing you need to make sure of is that the newly imported rows match the server ID of the server on your new database. But you can also modify the imported settings to match the server ID of your new server on that database. Run this on your new database after the import to update the server IDs on the settings.

 

update adkats_settings set server_id = newserverid where server_id = oldserverid

I guess that it was discussed in this thread before but I can't remember what it is.

It means he got 20 headshots in a row without using a sniper weapon. Plugin detected that and auto-banned him.

 

A LIVE HSK ban's last two numbers are kill count and headshot percentage, in this case 22 and 91% respectively.

There are no role management in-game commands at this time. I might be able to add some soon though.

 

Substring case-insensitive fetching of the matching role would be used.

The command would check if the target player was already assigned to a user, if so then that user's role would be changed to the given role, otherwise a new user would be created and assigned the given role then the player would be assigned to that user.

The same expiration entry as special player commands would be used, "perm" or a duration being required.

You would not be able to modify the role of a player that is higher power level then you currently are.

You would not be able to change your own role to one that is higher power level than you currently are.

You would not be able to assign a role to another player that is a higher power level than you currently are.

I have a question regarding our ban list. Our ban list that we currently have has over 20,000 players in it. When we first started to use adkats years ago, we upload a ban list that was comprised of bans in both BF3 and BF4. Now over the years it has grow to this size.

 

My question is does having such a large ban list cause excessive load on our BFadminCP page. Seems our website is starting to slow down at times and our web provider is saying that we have some program in our webpage that is using excess amount of RAM. Not sure if this is the correct issue or not, but I am wondering if I can improve performance if I start to delete some of these older bans. Some of this ban go back to 2013.

 

If deleting some of these ban would improve performance, can you advise the safest way to delete the older bans in my database. Only want to do this if you think it will help in reducing the resource load on my webpage.

 

Thank you for your help.

I hope to see something like this: /addrole [playername] [ROLENUMBER] [TIME/PERM]

Example: I want to add a player to the role that i created "High Admin", the role have shortname in adkats RLE3

Code:

/addrole ColColonCleaner rle3 perm
/addrole ColColonCleaner rle3 1d30m
/addrole ColColonCleaner rle3 1m2d1h

Possible? Are you want make the same?

 

 

Got error 7.0.1.0:

 

Code:

[21:26:51 54] [AdKats] EXCEPTION-7010-D-PlayerListingThreadLoop-PlayerListing13: [Error occured in player listing thread. Skipping loop.][System.ArgumentNullException: Der Wert darf nicht NULL sein.

The standard for AdKats commands is duration first, then player name, then message. Duration needs to be first because without a player entered you target yourself. Messages need to be last because they can have multiple words. That doesn't really apply here since all 3 are needed always, but it's a standard to stick with.

 

It would likely be:

/setrole perm playername rolename

 

The role ID wouldn't be used because people wouldn't easily remember those. Setting someone to 'guest', or 'vip', or 'tier 2' is easy to remember.

 

As for that exception, it's always worrying to see them being thrown from player listing, since that is central to the plugin. Unfortunately that section is huge, and finding that without a line number will be difficult. I'll check the system on the server i'm currently helping and see if they've seen it there with a line number, but that check won't be possible until this weekend.

However, unless you're seeing that error consistently it shouldn't cause any visible issues on your system. That thread is designed to simply grab the next player list if there are any errors and just process that one instead. If that next one processes completely you'll only see a 5-10 second lapse in player data updates, which is basically nothing.

If I remember correctly the banlist on the acp is paged, meaning it will only pull back what it needs to display. AdKats itself only fetches bans based on the player who is joining or being processed in the player list. We had around 40000 bans across BF3/BF4 and didn't notice slowness.

I do not think that the service prophet built holds the bans in memory, unless he did some kind of caching to improve performance. How much ram did your provide say was being used?

Server provider did not tell me how much RAM was being used. They were not very helpful in helping figure out why my webpage was slowing down. All they would say was that a program was slowing down the webpage and then mentioned that I could be maxing out my RAM.

They said you could be maxing out your ram but didn't tell you what your limit was or how much ram was being used? That's weird.

 

Anyway, is the ban page the only one that is having this slowness, or are other pages slow as well?

The whole website is slow. But what is weird, is that some times, there are no issues, but 10 minuets later, I cant connect to my own webpage or it is slow to load up.

Probably a week or two until I get time. I'm very busy at the moment.

Hmm.

 

If you want to take the iron hammer route to figuring this out, you could make a brand new AdKats instance (just a new schema on your existing database) and connect it to just one of your servers. Then point your existing BFACP instance at that database and see if you experience the same performance issues with almost no data behind it.

To do that you need to make your role a higher power level than they are. Power level is determined by the number of regular/admin commands that a role has access to.
