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.

Correct, all access given through AdKats is independent of procon's user system. However, there is a stability update in 4.0 for database comms, so i would suggest waiting until that comes out to remove layer access.

I see this fairly often too:

Also i think it would be nice to implement a function for the Email setting like the Email notifiere Plugin. There i can set Manuall the Maibodys i only use the report Mailbody to set up wich Links in the mail would be showen like Metabans, Battlellog etc. and it would be nice if i can do it in AdKats too :smile:

And as second funtion it would be nice if every one on the Server can send a report like the funktion at the Email Notifire so that not everyone musst have a role to send a message. We use the Mail Plugin as Report Function that we know what happens on our servers and yea i hope that you can impllement it :smile:

 

This Version is nice and thanks for your work :smile:

Don't think about dumping anything unless we are sure things work, remember this is a test version, there a bound to be problems with it until testing is complete. I think i forgot to add the email function to the @admin command, i'll fix that. Also fixed that other error display, nothing major.

1. Which version are you running? It should be 3.7.0.1 or 3.7.0.2, no major differences between them.

2. I need details on the issue to pinpoint your particular problem. Have you tried banning yourself and then attempting to enter the server?

 

Most of the enhancements you mentioned like emails for reports have been added in version 4 which has yet to be released.

I fixed your bans so that they were enforced...your database was not in strict mode, so that means it will never throw an error for enum mismatch. AdKats would have detected the error if your database was in strict mode, but there was no error sent back.

 

Install the patch i'm posting in a few minutes to fix other bugs.

Fixed noticed bugs/errors.

 

https://raw.github.com/ColColonClean...test/AdKats.cs

Same setup script as 3.9.9.2

https://raw.github.com/ColColonClean...est/adkats.sql

Something is wrong, never happened to me before but this new version is not showing up on my procon plugin list, not sure why...

 

EDIT: re downloaded it 3 times same thing, just not there :P

 

AdKats just disappeared from both my servers, after several restarts of my procon layer, same thing...

Your bans were injected into the database with no ban_status. AdKats checks for bans being "Active" so none of them were enforced. Try the new version and see if that fixes your problem.

The current one with the names not showing and bans not searchable? I've edited that post, new AdKats not showing on my procon list, wth?

 

EDIT: I think this version is buggered somehow, I've restarted my layer about 6 times now, maybe a re upload?

Just tried the current download in both my normal and dev environments and it runs... not sure what is happening on your end. What does it say in the console when loading the plugins?

I don't don't know what to tell you it just isn't showing up, what can cause this? Console looks ok form what I can tell but AdKats isn't there at all in the list? Take a look if you can you still have access...

 

 

All my plugins are showing and running as normal except yours, so can you repost for me the older 3.9.9.6? I over wrote it with this one...

My rcon host server? It's hosted by a another user who has a VDS at NFO, not sure what the setup is, what does this have to do with it anyhow?

 

All I know is all of your beta releases, every plugin I have had has had no issues until your latest beta release. Every release, I copy over, over write old one, restart layer and bam all good. If I seem irritable I am, but not about this so much as I am with NFO and their s**t servers in Chicago, massive DDoS attack tonight around 9pm MST.

Yep, our entire US box went down because of that. 5 full servers, boom, empty.

  • 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.
