So i figured just keep them seperate for now. But this error only started happening in both of them

Yeah if you don't have a round ID that means there is a bunch of stuff that's invisibly being messed up, reports being one of the more obvious ones. Check the contents of your tbl_extendedroundstats table to see what it has for each server. It should have a bunch of records for each server. What are the round IDs on those records? All 1s?

 

select distinct round_id from tbl_extendedroundstats group by round_id order by round_id desc

Found the issue. Download this version and run it. Wait for a round to end with people in it. After the next round starts you should see the round number advance to 2.

Yes overwrite it. Or you can just use /pupdate and AdKats will automatically download the newest test version. If you take the command route make sure it says it's installed version 7.5.0.9.

 

Make sure to reboot your procon layer after the replacement.

I tried to explain this in the docs, please read up on that if need be. If it doesn't cover what you need let me know. If you want your challenge to be automatically put up every round it needs to be tier 1, 1 round duration, and have auto-assign round rules enabled in the settings.

Don't worry about it. I just pushed 7.5.0.10 which increases the amount of memory before a warning from 250MB to 512MB. That 250MB warning has been around since like version 4 even though AdKats has more than doubled in scope since then.

 

Back in version 4 (and at one point in version 6) there were some issues with memory leaks. All of a sudden AdKats could balloon memory for seemingly no reason and I wasn't sure why. All of those codes in the warning messages are sizes of different maps/lists inside AdKats so I can see what the memory footprint is and where the pain points are. Yours looks completely normal so I'm just going to increase the limit before warning since it's needed at this point.

Yes, people call reserved slots 'vip' in some other plugins, but it basically just looks at the list of reserved slots on the server. You can confirm that the other plugin will see the winners just by looking at the reserved slot list in procon. When a player wins a challenge the winning amount of reserved slot (or any other reward) is added to whatever they already had. So if they win two challenges in a row that individually reward 12 hours of reserved slots they will have 24 hours total after that.

Usually the server has a 'player left' event that signals AdKats to remove said player from the player list. During a server crash or other oddity that leave message doesn't fire, the next player list event from the server just doesn't contain a bunch of players. If more than half of the current players in the server drop without a leave event during a single player list it assumes the server crashed or blaze disconnected (I don't confirm server uptime to distinguish between the two, only care about players lost).

 

That server crash message is posted to the database as an admin call, command ID/action 20, source name AdKats.

thank you for most impressive response (as always and unlike some others in these forums ). is there a particular table they are written into to narrow my search ?

No reason to bad-mouth anyone here, especially this late in the game. We're all here to help in our free time, limited as that may be.

 

It's in the adkats_records_main table.

 

select * from adkats_records_main where command_action = 20 and source_name = 'AdKats' and record_message like "%crash%" order by record_id desc

 

Should list your crashes from latest to earliest. I wrote that freehand so take it with a grain of salt.

VIP Slot manager didn't pick it up and I don't see his name in Procon reserved list. I have adkats settings to feed server reserved slot to false because I am using VSM and like I said I thought VSM would get the info of the winner so he could also get the perks from VSM. So would I inquire about this in here or the VSM thread?

If you have feed server reserved slots off then they won't ever get pushed to the server, so that reward would be broken. What do you have in VIP slot manager that AdKats doesn't cover?

It's really not a problem I can just add them manually to vsm so they can have the commands and auto balance of a vip. Thanks Col. I love the challenge system I cant believe someone already finished one.

All those options you are doing through vsm are available in AdKats too. All the perks and all the commands. I don't think you need that plugin anymore unless you just like the UI of the website that much better.

In adkats I have RLE1 - CDE39 - Lead current squad set to 'Deny' as I want to use it only for VIP's so I understand the message, however its very confusing for VIP's as they receive it too.

 

 

Do you have any advice on how to stop the conflict. I only want to use that function for VIP's & not everyone?

 

 

Thanks

If you have another system outside of AdKats controlling that command and you don't want AdKats to see any of it, then disable the command inside AdKats or rename the command in AdKats so people don't hit both plugins with the same request.

Which version are you on? What does the 'server round (display)' setting under servers settings say? Is it greater than 1?

Hi we have,

 

Adkays - 7.5.0.8

BFACP - 2.0.2

PRoCon Chat, GUID, Stats and Map Logger - 1.0.0.3.

Server Round (display) = 1

 

At 5 BF4 servers.

Run /pupdate on AdKats. You should be upgraded to 7.5.0.12 or later after that.

 

After that's running you should see the server round setting start going up. There was a bug where people on fresh installs never had their server round ID increment above 1. Once that goes above 1 you'll start seeing the extended round stats.
