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.

What would be the exact process to achieve this? I performed 1-12 of showthread....a-plugin-issue* and set the adkats plugin to debug 7 but still not seeing any line number.

 

Sorry for being noobish:sad:

Ah..that post hasn't been updated yet.

 

Plugin debugging is a new thing they have added in this version.

 

This should be the line to activate it:

 

procon.private.options.enablePluginDebugging True

Make your hoster change the file permissions on all of Procons config files and make sure it can also create files and folders inside the Config/ folder.

Thanks Phil. Let my Layer Host know about it.

Thanks C3, I think this is what you were asking for:

Code:

[22:19:23] [AdKats] EXCEPTION: Line 3939: [OnLevelLoaded][Error while handling level load.]: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at PRoConEvents.AdKats.OnLevelLoaded(String strMapFileName, String strMapMode, Int32 roundsPlayed, Int32 roundsTotal) in d:\Servers\*****\GameServers\***************\Plugins\BF4\Temp\bn-fneo1.0.cs:line 3939
Does this help?

Dude...i said if it was an issue please go back to a previous test version...the latest one has a lot of debug information added and will probably cause lag. The debug info will be removed in the full release.

 

EDIT: i'll push one without it and see if it helps.

I was under the impression that when you are running Adkats, it is advised that you turn off the in-game admin component of procon

So it is unchecked in the plugin list..

 

Could someone please give me some guidance as to where I have gone wrong

 

Cheers

If they are issuing the commands from in-game then yes their name will be attached. Commands directly from procon cannot be monitored, so if you want their names attached to them you should remove kick/ban access from their procon accounts and have them use the in-game commands.

In addition I lost most of the players on my server around the same time ...there were around 40 on at the time and the eventlog shows they all left server at 21:10:57 indicating that they all dropped off together.

I will be extremely dissappointed with my gsp at present as this is a frequent occurrence ( players all dropping off at the same time).

 

Is this an issue with adkats and not my gsp who provide the database. I do not know

I know there are issues with certain things bf4 related and problems with the Australian datacenter and network getting hit by attacks, so I am hoping that a solution can be found within what I have provided.

 

Cheers

 

Your massive error list....

Your database is going offline or becoming inaccessible, notice stat logger is giving the same type of errors. So yes if this is happening often your GSP is providing an unreliable database connection.

Did you enable a player interaction commmand for the default guest role? You will know if you did by reporting someone. @report someone test

 

If that spams chat with messages to everyone then you did that.

Prefix with /

 

/report or /@report

 

But i can't get admin names from that. It will be "ProconAdmin" for the admin name.

ok ive changed all the users I put in to a new admin role I created, I made the default role as it was, should this now work if an admin tries to mute someone?

Yes, the only reason it was happening is because it thought everyone was an admin. Because of the huge amount of commands and the huge amount of roles people could have, i have no concrete way of knowing which roles are considered "Admin". So i use the commands each role is assigned and their properties.

 

If you look at your adkats_commands table in the database, all commands where player interaction column is 1 or TRUE are commands that will make a role be considered admin.

First one...looks like i was tired and found the error but never actually applied the patch. That is done now.

 

Second, just debug stuff, it will be gone in the release.

Are you using the adkats_specialplayers table? That is how those lists are controlled currently. slot_reserved, and slot_spectator are the groups.

 

An automatic slot is also given to all users in your user list. This will be optional in the next release.

  • 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.
