Advanced In-Game Admin and Ban Enforcer - AdKats

These are just my opinions what what I would use and like to see.

1.Server-wide contest. ex. Most sniper headshots win 1-day VIP, Most kills in 15mins with shotgun wins, Get the highest kill streak, kill the MVP of the other team 2 times in life, Kill the same person 5 times, kill the most tanks win one day vip. Challenges that make players compete against each other I think would bring new gameplay. Maybe a challenge Bounty system to kill admins. Again these would be mixed with solo challenges as well which brings next point.

2. Having all challenges no matter what tier or the rules are to randomly be selected at the start of a round. Right now it's only able to randomly start with a rule that has tier 1 and a few other requirements. Then having a way to disable the player being able to pick his challenge. I hate seeing somepeople just do the easy challenges over and over.

Again COL. everything you put into that is great I like it the players like it I am not complaing or asking for more just my opinions.

She's being kicked because of a " PBban Multi Hack" along with a lot of other people I know never cheated and are just getting screwed by pbbans. If I turn Ban enforcer off then she is fine because I dont stream to PB anymore because of their major issues and not wanting to help people who are banned for no reason. But I like using Ban enforcer because of the admincp and it keeps bans organized better.

There isn't any interaction between player challenges right now, so that would be a larger effort. As for the random selection it would be really bad if it auto-assigned a very difficult challenge to a random person and they thought they were required to do that. As for allowing repeated easy challenges, maybe make the rewards for those less enticing. I could also add a cooldown on some rewards so they can only get a certain reward so often. That's what i added with the command lock, so it could be added to the others relatively easily.

Lets make sure you have a valid round ID. Look in the 'server settings' section at the top, the one with all the displays. What is the 'server round' value? It must be greater than 1 for the challenge system to function properly.

I tried to use it on my serve but the faction was still the same as vanilla.

 

Anyway i searched everwhere but i don't found any plugin/code to put specific faction on specific map (ex: USvsUS on shanghai,USvsRU Dawnbreaker, CNvsRU Paracel)

 

I'm runing Adkats 7.5.0.13

There is no way to set it up for specific teams on specific maps, it's just set up to randomize the teams on all maps given the restrictions you set. If it doesn't seem to be working make sure your restrictions are set up properly in that setting section.

I've tried too with Ultimate map manager with custom preset but that wasnt working to...

This was my custom preset (for Shanghai US vs US):

vars.vehicleSpawnDelay 85

vars.teamFactionOverride 1 0

vars.teamFactionOverride 2 0

 

Do you know if this is still possible to put specific teams on specific map with BF4.sef?

I'm sorry for this post because i know it's not the best thread for that.

Can I ask when the user wins a challenge where the reward is a Reserved Slot how does it get actioned? Do I need to do it or does the system do it atomically? As I can not find people who have won on the Reserved List on Procon?

Look for them in section 3-3 to see if they have a reserved slot assigned. If you see them there but not in procon make sure you are feeding reserved slots to procon in the orchestration setting section.

 

All perk time for challenges is additive, meaning if someone has 6 hours remaining on their reserved slot already but they complete a challenge with a 6 hour reward, they will now have 12 hours of reserved slot. The rewards don't replace their existing perks, they add on top of them. This is why i mentioned people grinding easy challenges isn't an issue because you can make the reward 6 hours and they have to complete it 4 times to get a day worth of reserved slot time. The tier 1 challenges are just there to get people interested, at least that's how i had it set up.

Thanks ColColonCleaner found my mistake I didn't have any orchestration settings set to true. Working great now, sorry for all the questions/mistakes.

 

I know you have been asked about new functions, I was wondering if at any point a reward could link into the VIP slot manager plugin so that not only does the user who wins a challenge get the reserved slot but also VIP perks?

I added a few new settings for this already. Check the following post. It was buried in another thread, sorry for not posting a copy of it here.

Thanks amazing all working now. Like a dream. In regards to you adding the !perks would there be any possibility in the future of letting the user know when they join that they have perks? I mean without them having to type the command? Maybe what perks they have with how long is left?

No, that would cause a lot of unnecessary spam. However, you can turn on expiring perk announcements. I forget where the setting is. It lets people know that they have perks that are expiring soon, and you can set a duration for how long before they expire to tell them. That's mainly for paid stuff that's supposed to last months so players may forget, turning it on when you have challenges running could also result in spam.

 

Expiring perk announcement is just one line telling them they have perks expiring soon and to type !perks to see them.

Wait, i don't display role_key do i? That seems like a pretty big miss on my part.

 

Look at the adkats_roles table and take the role_key values.

Yeah, that feature was added like 3 years ago, probably longer. Not thought out well.

1.EOD bot kills do not count in the challenge system. A player told me and I checked it out killed 6 people in locker with it and not 1 kill counted.

2. MB320/FB kills are not counting as well. A player told me and I tested it out myself

Just wanted to put these bugs out there it's no issues to me there's hundreds of other challenges I can make.

Ah yes.

Eod bot kills come through as 'Death' not the eod bot kill code, probably why this isn't working.

Also the 320/fb kills probably aren't working because they are using an underslung rail. Tell them that they can't use the underslung rail on their gun when doing the challenge for that weapon and it will likely work normally then. The rail makes it a different kill code.

Cheers.

Run /pupdate to grab the latest version. I believe this issue is fixed.

 

EDIT: Also, after updating look in the console for any errors rendering. It simply not showing the rules section (section 4 there is missing) is very odd.

I've just ran /pupdate, still getting the same issue with the error reporting back about the round ID. I see nothing in the console to do with Adkats regarding the error rendering. Is there another other settings that can affect the challenge system, that I may have overlooked?
