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.

Thanks for the info. it works now.

If it's at 0 or 1 then you're going to have some issues with reports, challenges, and the BFACP. Try updating to 7.5.0.12 and see if that fixes your issue after a few rounds.

That seemed to do the trick, tyvm. Do you still play ? Thought I saw your name ( or one very similar ) the other day.

I haven't played the game in ages, must have been someone else.

Thanks

Bans are by server group. In the tbl_server table there is a servergroup column. All bans made on a certain server group are enforced on that group. If you want your bans to be across all servers, make all your servers the same server group.

There is no option to do both right now unfortunately. Whether bans are spread across multiple servers or for a single server is controlled globally, not individually per-ban.

 

There is a feature request out there to add this functionality, but it likely will not be completed at this point.

Hundreds maybe? The only issue you would run into is it taking forever for players to list them all with /ch list

I would keep your list of active challenges small enough for them to reasonably be listed without waiting forever.

 

Maybe you could do a weekly rotation where you disable some and enable others, and rotate.

 

EDIT: Also, remember to tell players that they can choose their own challenges, they don't need to only do the one that the round tells them.

My server is crashed multiple times every day by a hacker. He is tempting me, adding me in battlelog and laughing at me. He uses some cheat code provided by a well known hack developer. In this code, an exploit in the netcode is used that will crash the server (I even know what the exploit is). He has returned many times with different accounts (different EAGUID, PBGUID) and different IP addresses, though always from the same country. I was lokking for a way to block that entire country. Can it be done? Or do you have any suggestions for me to follow? EA will not support this as it is a rented server, and the provider sess nothing of all this, of course..

 

Thanks for any suggestion!

I have a master kill switch for all new players to the server. It's in the orchestration section i believe? It's a date you can modify, and all players who were first seen after that date are automatically kicked. Players who were already in the server at least once before that date can still join and play. It's a drastic measure but it has helped some people.

 

You won't be able to block by country before he's able to execute the hack. We get IP information from PB which loads AFTER the player is already in the server.

However, if you want to try it, install latency manager and turn on kicking by country code. I don't have country based kicking available in Adkats right now.

You said he's using different accounts. If you banned those (which I assume you have) and he's still able to join on those accounts and nuke the server there is nothing we can do for you, he's able to get into the server before the bans kick in.

If you haven't banned the accounts, ban the accounts lol.

There is not a way to add newlines in the spambot right now unless you use trial/error to figure out the length of each line. AdKats automatically breaks say messages apart when they reach 2 lines of length since that's the max admin say can use.

 

It would be very easy to add a parser for [CR] though, so adding [CR] in your message would convert it to a carriage return.

Sorry. I was talking about how I would go about adding that feature for you. I'll be able to do that quickly once i'm back home after the holidays.

Okay, update to version 7.5.0.13. Put [newline] in your messages where you want it to make new lines. Completely untested, hopefully it works.

•With this setting enabled players will automatically be assigned the round challenge if one is running in two cases: They get a kill which fits the challenge, or they use the challenge command (by default !ch) to see the current challenge" So even though I have auto assign round rules enabled at start of game it'll tell the challenge but if players dont like that challenge they can still choose their own by typing !ch list and picking one? Thus doing the same one over and over. I only have one reward system set up so all the all my challeneges could be run in different games didnt know they could still change the challenge if they didnt like it. Or am I missing something

Correct, players are never forced to do just one challenge, they can do the same one over and over again if they like that challenge. The round challenge is just a way to get people involved with the system since it starts ticking up automatically when they get kills, they see the messages and wonder what's going on.

Also there are the inevitable people who don't like the system, so they can do /ch ignore to be completely removed from challenges. They will also never see another message related to challenges again.

Just Curious any plans to expand on the challenge system Col.? I know we talked before about being a 5-year-old game and I'm not sure how many other servers use the challenge system but my playerbase is growing and people are loving these different challenges. I have a few ideas and if I could be any help in the project I be more then happy too.

I just added the challenge system a few months ago, it was a major portion of the 7.5.0.0 release. What improvements would you be looking for?
