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.

Thanks for all your help on this, with the def being correct, then the live HSK should not have triggered a sniper rifle? Could be anything to do with my post below and github? I have seen someone els

LOL. just lol. this has nothing to do with your procon version. The connection from your server to github fails. This is neither related to the plugin nor to procon.

Thanks for the stress testing. During startup when ban enforcer initializes it imports all bans from the database to the running instance. Then sends all existing bans from your procon banlist to the database. This uses a lot of cpu power. I wrote it this way to save bandwidth and processing power after startup is complete. When a player joins i already hold their ban info and don't need to make database trips, i only make trips when bans change or are updated after startup.

 

It's a decision that needs to be made. Check the database on every player join, or hold bans locally and sync when needed. My first choice was the second one, but if testing shows the other method is better i will code as such.

Your welcome.

 

Unfortunately, I can't run it...........spikes CPU usage, and crashing. Runs ok on an empty server, but a server with players on it wipes me out. Doesn't just crash procon; crashes my entire vps. That said, my vps isn't much to brag about with 1 gb ram and 1.0gz processor (2.0 burst), but if I'm having issues, I'd lay odds most others will as well, especially on hosted layers.

 

Running 6 servers with old 2.7 version runs easily on this setup, fyi.

Yep, i've been only running it on my empty dev server so my clan will probably run into these issues if we pushed it to our full servers. Have you tried running things without the ban enforcer? Does it run ok with that?

 

I have found ways to optimize the ban enforcer to drastically reduce the amount of memory it uses. But everything without the ban enforcer hopefully works fine.

Can't run it either way, on or off, still crashes, just faster with it on................. Looking at upgrading our vps atm, but like I said.........hosted layers will probably have troubles with that cpu spiking.

 

oops, sorry...didn't see your post soon enough. will head over there directly.

I asked in the thread that only people who were able to give me feedback on things should install 3.0 during this test period. I will be able to create a video after the test period is done, but i do not have the time right now. For now anybody who is new to this should remain on 0.2.5.1 until the test period is over. The period may be extended as some major changes might need to be made for cpu/memory usage optimization.

Come to find out it was a problem with the chat/stats/guid plugin in the players country code. Adkats is running stable with that problem fixed.

 

Hooyah!

Unfortunately, no beta web admin. Not even alpha. The only thing fully done really is the live scoreboard with its admin commands.

 

But I will tell you this. These are how the settings should be for the logger. If they are not set like this, you will not be able to take full use of the web admin.

I think we are all holding out for it, especially when using adkats ban management and having to reference user IDs in the database to work out who the bans are for :ohmy:

 

I'm sure donations give them a little more incentive as well.

Full documentation of what settings should be used will be sent out when we release the first version of webadmin. Just need to wait.

Not really. I would rather have a full functioning application instead of a half-baked application with many many bugs or errors. Besides, you would only be donating to cobeliga since he's the only with with a link up at the moment. If anything I would rather have the donation go to my gaming community as it is the place where this application was born.

 

Appreciate the thought though. My goal is to try and get it out when AdKats is ready to be shipped out with the new version officially, but other stuff takes priority sometimes.

Yes I agree, rather have something stable than a rush job, I've donated $30 to cobeliga already and said I'd donate another $30 when it's done, if cobeliga doesn't mind I'll donate that instead to a paypal account of your choosing.

 

Worst case I am sure I'd make a donation either way.

No problem, the only reason i have a direct paypal link here is because it's a rather drawn out process on our website for 1 time visitors. I will be transferring anything I get to ADK's accounts.

It's up to cobeliga if he want people to send the money to him then he can transfer that to our community or through our donation hub on our forums.

 

The difference is really that the web admin was our gaming community's custom Game Control Panel that i'm in charge of. Cobeliga plugin was just an idea that expanded and is now this awesome plugin and since our GCP was never designed to be for other peoples use or even for AdKats, i've had to redesign and re-order my code for public use and work with AdKats.

I run a gaming clan and I wished I had the help that you two provide, I highly doubt anyone in our group would care that you were getting the money and not the clan, you're the ones doing the work after all.

 

I think the plugin is fantastic, the current "in-game basic admin" lacks a lot of functionality which I am sure is fine for some but not others who run multiple servers, mute function is nice as it means users don't get kicked as a first warning and although you can do this with various other plugins it's nice to have a dedicated plugin like this.

 

Same for the web admin panel, I've only seen the one screenshot but it looks fantastic, most of what I'd be after is stats, chat logs and ban management, server settings would be nice although I'd rather stick to procon/text files for that stuff.

 

This combined solution is what I've been after for a long time, so I am looking forward to it.

X2.

 

Just awesome the way this is coming together. And I don't mind at all helping with the testing, either with adkats or the control panel.

Glad things are working out for you. Unfortunately i will need to extend the test period for 3.0, making sure everything works as planned before releasing it. Some parts are sensitive right now, and i don't want any lost server data.

Installed and running.

 

Also set up separate SQL logins for each layer/plugin as well.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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
