Advanced In-Game Admin and Ban Enforcer - AdKats

[Prophet731]

Then your ok then. So then it's not a table issue. Probably what colon said, a player list issue.

i need someone to help me to install this on my server...
i already pay for a procon layer, but i have no idea how that MySQL database works so i'm afraid of buying it and not being able to do sh1t by myself, i'm usually not very skilled with computer stuff.
i've got a big server with a lot of players and i run a lot of plugins at once (what makes some of my plugins fail often due to the lack of memory i guess), but i'd like to make this the main thing.
if you can help me... please add me and message me at my discord:

Find a MySQL hosting provider (not a free one). Most website hosting providers provide one. Just make sure they allow external access or a whitelist for external access.

If you found a mysql hosting provider then you don't need to set anything up on that end as it's all done for you. Go through the hosting providers control panel and find something that can take you to the database creation page. Create the database and name it whatever you want to call it. They might have it prefixed with your account number usually. 

 

Create the mysql user which procon will use. Most of the plugins will create the tables necessary upon plugin start as long as the mysql connection details are correct. For AdKats just follow the install instructions, you may have to run the SQL script manually IIRC.

Do you have a mysql hosting provider account yet? If not you need to start there before you can do anything else with these plugins.

For the database port are you using 3306? I see you have a 2 in front of it.

i tried multiple ports...

using the followings

hostame: localhost:2083

localhost:3306

localhost:80

bf4gatserver.com:2083

bf4gatserver.com:3306 (error Message: Authentication to host 'bf4gatserver.com' for user 'bfgatser_1fawkes' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user 'bfgatser_1fawkes'@'c-"^^^^.hsd1.ma.comcast.net' (using password: YES)

bf4gatserver.com:80

nothing works! i dont know if my ports or hostname are wrong!

Leave the port field 3306 as that is the mysql server. As for the host, look on branzones mysql manager. They might use a different hostname for their mysql connections.

I don't know what that error says so I can't help you.

"you have been kicked by an admin. Please contact the server admin"

Does it still do it when AdKats is off?

[wizz3]

this never happened before i installed adkats, i guess it doesnt do that when adkats is off, im not at home to test, my players are conplaining on my discord and i want to fic that as soon as i get home

You changed the auto-kick date in setting section A16. That's a setting that makes all players who first joined the server after that date get auto-kicked. The default of that date is 20 years after you installed AdKats so change it back to that and you'll be fine.

Curious, what is the used for? I don't ever recall seeing that.

It's a last resort tactic against people who are using multiple accounts to bring your server down and you can't ban them fast enough. Set the date to today and all their attack accounts which likely have never been in the server before will be automatically booted while players who have already played can still join.

i thought the date was meant to enforce ban the clantags as they're in the same section

another thing... my autonuke system is acting weird with my settings
i've got a 64 players cq large op locker only server and my nuke is activated when the teams have 4 out of 5 flags captured, i don't use surrender/autosurrender i only want to use autonuke, i guess autosurrender interferes with autonuke... can someone enlighthen me to find the right settings for my server?

The auto-nuke system is built on top of the auto-surrender system, one drives the other, so you need to properly set up the the main auto-surrender system to make nukes work properly.

I see you're using the optimal values for metro instead of lockers in that section so i'd suggest switching that over first. Your other settings look fine. What is the issue you're seeing?

[electronicprimegame]

The in-game command used for killing the speaker. Specific timeout of 10 minutes to avoid abuse.

How to change this limit?

You'll need to change the source code, there isn't a setting for it. That command can be abused pretty badly since admin kills don't add to your death count so i wouldn't suggest changing it either.

On the contrary, I want to increase the limit, where exactly does this change?

In the latest version it's on line 45960, look for UpdateCommandTimeouts, you'll see one for self_kill.

Thanks for solving the Killself problem.

 

There are a few more problems:

1. Creating a vip slot, a new role is created and configured.

How to set alert when connecting to server

and duration until expiration

as I understand it, in paragraph 3.2, but you can’t choose anything there (ALL GROUP EMPTY)
and add a command description to the vip slot
 

2. Using the! Fmove command and the Multibalancer plugin

A player who is not on the white list returns back. How to make the transfer from the administrator a priority?

1. In section A12 there is a setting for expiring perk announcements. And there is a !perks command players can use to see their current perks with expiration dates, that should include reserved slot (vip). You set the expiration date on their user for when you want them to be reverted back to default guest.

2. AdKats should be automatically disabling the unswitcher in multibalancer when an admin move happens, and then re-enabling it shortly after the move actually happens. If that's not working properly then you can disable the unswitcher in multibalancer and instead use the unswitcher in AdKats, as part of the team power monitor, section C30. This section internally controls the !assist command among other balance related metrics.
