Thanks.

Power level is determined by how many regular/admin commands your role has access to. Make yours more than theirs.

Shut down all of your layers.

Look at your tbl_server table.

Find the row that has your new server IP.

Copy that IP and save it somewhere.

Delete the table row that has the new IP.

Edit the the row that has the old IP, set that IP to the the new IP.

Start up your layers.

I am no expert in this, but I have a small suggestion, could you add country to the spambots?

So that it is possible to send only specific messages to people from a specific country?

Then it could send TeamSpeak address to all the people for a specific country and also other information that is related to that country?

Copy your configs directory from the old layer and paste that over the top of the configs directory in your new layer. Then make the changes you need to the procon.cfg file so that it points to the new server, IP, RCON port, Password, etc.

 

Then once you boot up your layer and AdKats turns on, you will need to use the setting import to import the AdKats settings from that other server. In the setting import field in server settings, enter the server ID of your old server. Then all the settings will be brought over to your new layer.

select source_name, record_message, record_time from adkats_records_main where command_action = 118 order by record_id desc;

 

Most recent feedback first.

That would take some time, i already have a prefix system, but adding country to that might be odd. I'll look into it though.

Why do you want to clear feedback information? That's part of player's profiles.

Gah, i'll just add target weights for those commands. Those are not supposed to happen but are still there from an old error in the BFACP.

 

As for the thread warnings, do they go away after a while or do they keep displaying? I see the ones you posted are about a minute apart. It could be something bad or it could be a lot of people getting kicked for enforced bans at the same time. These should only show up if you have 'BF4 Lenient Kick' enabled, i forget which setting section it's in.

The thread warnings go away shortly after the reboot. So to answer your questions, it only shows up the one time after the reboot an then no further issues.

It shows up after every reboot consistently? Do a lot of people normally get kicked when you reboot your layers? If so, do you recognize the kick messages you are getting?

 

If this is a normal case for you i might just need to increase the threshold before the thread warning is displayed.

So yesterday we've tested a no explo and no shotgun setting and found out that the following weaponcode doesn't work: DAO-12 (weaponcode in BF3.def: DAO-12).

Is it possible to enter whole weaponcategories like shotgun or something like that?

And is it also possible to get some kind of "flexible" punishment system instead of infractionpoints for every forbidden weapon?

I mean like: first use of e.g. shotgun just a kill wihout an infractionpoint but first kill with C4 or RPG an infractionpoint?

Hello,

 

Normally, I only reboot the layer server when our gaming servers are empty. But I do notice that after rebooting the layer server and seeing the previously mention code errors, that in the chat box of Procon, there are a bunch of players being told that they were kicked, banned or whatever.

 

Not sure what you mean by increasing the threshold before the thread warning is displayed.

No, those options are not available. This is just a script that I had written a while ago for no explosive servers but people had found it in the code and wanted settings for it. So I made the settings visible. It's not intended to be a full-fledged auto-admin system. You can set up your normal autoadmin to issue commands via AdKats if you want though.

Just delete all records that have command action of 118 if that's what you want to do.

Yeah this is odd, not sure why kick messages would be showing up if the server is empty. That's a little concerning.

 

Next time this happens make sure you have disconnect messages on and let me know what the kick messages are.

Yeah that's what I'm currently doing with the autoadmin to issue commands via AdKats. Thanks anyway.

 

But another question:

Section A12-4. All Caps Chat Monitor

 

If I'm enabling "All Caps Limiter Only Limit Specified Players" what does the plugin then do? Can I set up a list with special players or how is it working?

Hello,

 

I reboot my layer servers this morning after they finally went empty. When I rebooted this time, the only error code I saw were these:

 

[05:30:50 52] [AdKats] WARNING: Unable to find source weight for command 18|40

[05:30:50 52] [AdKats] WARNING: Unable to find source weight for command 18|41

[05:30:50 52] [AdKats] WARNING: Unable to find source weight for command 18|61

[05:30:50 52] [AdKats] WARNING: Unable to find source weight for command 20|40

[05:30:50 52] [AdKats] WARNING: Unable to find source weight for command 20|61

 

I also noted that in procon chat tab, it showed about a dozen players were being told with say or tell command that they were ban, kicked or warned. This issue has been going on for some time now. My main concern is with the error codes.

There is a special player command associated with that, i think it's /allcapsblacklist but I don't remember for sure. Look in your command list in AdKats, it's worded something like that. It works the same way as other special player commands.

 

EDIT: To clarify, when that setting is enabled, only people on that blacklist will be monitored. Everyone else will be left untouched.

update adkats_records_main set command_action = 62 where command_action = 61 and command_type in (18, 20);

update adkats_records_main set command_action = 42 where command_action = 41 and command_type in (18, 20);

 

Keep these around if you ever see those messages again, for commands 18 or 20 anyway. It was an old bug with the BFACP.

 

Please PM me the with the full procon chat log (and the plugin log if you have it), from when AdKats begins startup till after the kicks happen and AdKats is running. This is very odd, if nobody is in the server to kick it shouldn't try to issue those actions.

I have looked though the Adkats settings but I cannot find such a feature.

 

If there is not such a feature, could one be made. Maybe have a default setting that could be adjusted per server owners wishes.

 

Thank you for your efforts.

I added a system for blocking certain players from reporting for a specified amount of time. I believe it's /rblacklist, but I don't remember. Basically blacklists them from using the report command.

 

If this is isolated to a few troublemakers i would suggest using that instead of making everyone suffer, but if you still want that feature I can add it to my list.
