Advanced In-Game Admin and Ban Enforcer - AdKats


Message added by Prophet731,

If you've been banned from a server then you will need to appeal the ban with the owners/community of that server. We do not control any bans done on servers that utilize AdKats as all bans are local to that server.

No, my tbl_server is empty.... I thought that might be the issue... Should I be running my server stats WITHOUT adkats for a while to get the servers in the table? As soon as I ran statslogger from XpKiller I ran the adkat.sql on the database...

I've successfully installed Adkats into a Procon layer server. No error message were shown when running the plugin. However, in-game, the admins are not able to view the list of commands they are able to execute with !help. Are you able to assist me?

There is no !help command in AdKats, the list of commands is too many to show in game. The list is here: https://github.com/ColColonCleaner/A...-game-commands

Answered my own question, i restarted the layer, that didnt work, so I ran the procon update program on the layer and that worked.

Chat directed at a player is not easily accessible, so giving a reason for actions against a player is still required. Keeping admins accountable is a major part of this system and will not be removed. All commands resulting in actions against a player will require a reason to be entered. There is also a minimum reason length, which is set to 4 on our servers to make sure reasons are actually valid. This value can be reduced to 1, but not to 0.

I swear, the number of times people's problems have been fixed lately simply by restarting/updating procon is insane...glad you got it figured out though.

Are you saying bans added by your autoadmin will now stay in the procon banlist and not be imported to ban enforcer?

I entered the Server IP at mysqlhost

entered the Port...

but what to enter at mysql database?

entered username for procon and the password-

I got the adkats.sql but what do to with that?

 

When reloading the Plugins (Adkats checked) it tells me a thousand times:

Not DB connection capable yet, complete SQL connection variables.

and stops.

you need to create a databse on your web hosting. then enter them details into the adkats plugin. the .sql file you would import into the newly created database, via the import tab

With web hosting you mean where i bought (rent) the server?

If yes, how to create a database there?

i dont believe that GSP ( who you rent your game server with ) do this

 

you need a Web Host preferably a VPS most of the time. with Cpanel ( jiust to make it easier )

get this

 

[11:44:56 25] [AdKats] OnBanList fired

That is very strange. If onbanlist fired then it should be detecting all current bans from procon...how many bans are under the ban counts shown in settings?

finally: i can not use adkats with the things I have?

7 bans total, but these are only the manual ingame bans by admins. procon banlist doesnt have this in it, but only the auto admin ones. i tried with a different db but same. i will revert back to 3.7 and see if this helps me

do you host a webpage with anyone ? or do you just have a game server ?

 

if you only have a game server then yes, you will need a host.

You need a database to run AdKats, and that database needs to be accessible from your procon layer. You do not need a VPS or anything on that level, just an accessible database. If you want something basic that does not require a database, use the default in-game admin.

Disable ban enforcer, then re-enable it. This will first cause all database held bans to be repopulated to your procon layer, since it's just 10 this wont be an issue. Secondly once you re-enable ban enforcer it should re-download all of the bans to your database, so afterward your procon layer banlist tab should be empty (make sure to refresh the tab).

The only reason this would happen is if the current server IP is not present in the tbl_server table. AdKats tells you the server IP and port when it attempts to start up, confirm that combined value is in your tbl_server table.

Hmm ok, it's a server I previously had running both plugins nicely, I just let it go dormant and have recently reactivated it.

I was having similar issues. A procon layer restart didn't help, so I did a full physical restart of the mysql and procon machine. Everything worked after that.

 

Please excuse the brevity/spelling of this post, as it was sent via Tapatalk on my smart phone.

I got it going finally after rebuilding my databases and MySQL for that server.

  • Our picks

    • Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

    • Added ability to disable the new API check for player country info


      Updated GeoIP database file


      Removed usage sending stats


      Added EZRCON ad banner



      If you are upgrading then you may need to add these two lines to your existing installation in the file procon.cfg. To enable these options just change False to True.

      procon.private.options.UseGeoIpFileOnly False
      procon.private.options.BlockRssFeedNews False

    • I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html

    • I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
