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.

Tired adding the user to database again, problems back?

Is there something in the format of his name that is causing issues with Adkats?

 

WayWard_Spann3r

 

Cheers,

 

Snotty

Hmmm strange. open a ticket with these details and i'll look into it. What happens if you create his user as just "WayWard", and then add his soldier(s) with the full name?

Exactly the same thing happens if I just enter WayWard....

 

Very odd indeed.

 

I tried adding other users, and have had no issue, for some reason it doesnt like WayWard lol

Just curious, what was it?

All of AdKats' functions are async from procon, which means they run on their own threads and don't affect procon's performance. The only time my code becomes sync with procon is when i use either "procon.protected.send", or "procon.proctected.plugins.setVariable" for orchestration. There was code where several of those calls were being done in rapid succession, and procon just wasn't having any of it. Not to mention if you were connected to several layers at once it tried to push those updates to every instance which could completely lock your client.

 

I just modified it so those commands for orchestration are spread out more so procon could handle it without locking up the client instances.

 

NOTE: All of the lag fixed was due to orchestration settings "Feed MULTIBalancer Whitelist", "Feed MULTIBalancer Even Dispersion List", and most prominently "Feed Stat Logger Settings". If you had any of those on, you would have noticed lag. If you didn't have any of those on, then you won't notice any difference in performance with this patch. The lag caused by those settings is what has been fixed.

All you need is an online accessible MySQL database, and on that database you need access to create triggers/procedures. Once you get that, just follow the installation instructions and you're golden. Your GSP might be able to provide you a MySQL database, so ask them first.

The ticket for additional email features is being postponed as how the requested features should be implemented is still under discussion.

EDIT: Generally, if you find that it doesn't show up in procon, confirm your download was not corrupted in transit. That has happened to me and others when downloading using the links from github.

Basically on our instances we are noticing after several hours some elements stop functioning and it cannot be disabled/re-enabled without restarting the whole procon layer. When disabled it shows the threads that are locked. It is another thread deadlock issue...and i'm attempting to locate it.

 

The problem is, I have to try locating it manually as i can't run dry testing to find it...

Not sure when, i just know it is freezing every time i attempt to change anything in the plugins section, not sure if that's the reason either. :tongue:

You mean for other plugins and such? Yes it will, it has to push those updates to every connected client. I think that particular lag would happen even if AdKats wasn't running. If the settings are within AdKats that is another story though.

Please explain further. What doesn't work with ban enforcer? And what do you mean locking the plugin on disable? What happens?

Ban Manager will not upload bans to the database.

 

When i would turn off ban manager to download the bans from the database it wouldn't do it. It would stay stuck in a constant loop or trying to download them. If i turned off Adkats it would then Constantly give the adkats shutting down message.

None of the code for ban enforcer has changed between those versions....strange.

 

Which shutting down message? "Threads still exiting: what threads were here"

 

Need to know those thread names.

when ban manager was turned on it said [18:43:31 81] [AdKats] 18 procon bans queued for import. Import might take several minutes if you have many bans!

 

 

I have 18 perm bans but have around 50 temp bans. knife pistol server.

 

Any idea why temp bans arent being uploaded.

 

Seems one thing fixes itself but creates another

  • 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.
