No a command can't be empty at the moment, just changing the command name to "eiwoiwf293fm3" should do the trick, lol. I have not looked into disabling certain commands, just lowering people's access level so they cant use them.

Thanks, there's also "admin" command which I prefer for another plugin to be used, so I guess I will type some random stuff hahaha.

Still ticking, all i can say man. A lot been going on in our community and we only have a few devs , we're spread thin. Don't worry, we're working on it.

If AdKats is disabling itself that's something we need to fix.

 

This is most likely a very simple fix, as i'm assuming it's just from not getting database connection the instant procon restarts and AdKats is enabled on some slower layers.

No issue here, restarted the procon servers about 6 times over the past week and all three layers were fine.

I get this everytime I restart my procon layer. Adkats is disabled and has to be manually enabled. Happens everytime I restart the layer

 

Also something else I notice is when one of your ingame admins uses a command, it kills the procon connection to the server temporarily, the command still works, but procon connection to the server drops for a few seconds.

Not sure what would cause this?

I was able to code a fix for it last night, and it appears to be stable on our servers. It's just a quick one as i didn't have much time, haven't even updated the version # yet, so let me know if it works. Code here: https://raw.github.com/ColColonClean...test/AdKats.cs

 

I have not seen the connection killing behavior, will look into that, but the disable-on-restart problem should be solved

Updated again, the problem still was not fixed. Use the same link in my last post, micro updated again.

I got VPS and got root access. Problem is I cant enable the mysql port on a specific IP.

Do I require more than one IP to allow, and what parameters should I be using for iptables?

Google search finds this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-...g-request.html

 

It shouldn't be a problem if you are running your database locally on the VPS though.

With only two developers its slow. Me working the backend (server side), ColColonCleaner working the front end. School has started up for me as well and I haven't really worked on it for the past week, other stuff got in the way. I will TRY to get it finished for the most part by the end of the week.

 

I make no promises that it will be finished by the end of the week, thats just what i'm trying to shoot for.

 

Right now the only thing really left to do for functionality for everyone is:

 

• Adding the manual ban ability
• Setup the user account configuration
• Player chat logs
• Finish the player info page (last 100 chat, cmd history, basic info)

  Mostly it just needs to be tweaked to make it look nicer

Heres a SS for that page.

Thanks for the understanding. We are admins of the games brett mentioned and our duties come first. And yes, a little time away from the code now and then helps a lot . It's coming guys, just a little more to go!

You can manage any bans the player has from that page as well. Admins will be able to view all guids for the player, and their IP address. Links are included for every player to 2 stat sites, 3 different cheat-o-meters, and anti-cheat inc.

You can keep the metabans plugin running when using ban enforcer, but enforcement of bans using metabans will be disabled. As of now (if you have ban enforcer enabled) the only bans metabans will detect are those sent by your auto-admins, or ones sent manually through procon. All bans issued through AdKats are never sent to procon's banlist if enforcer is enabled, that is why webadmin is needed for management.

 

EDIT: Your bans through cheat detector will show up in AdKats, we run one of those ourselves for TDM since admins are rarely in that server. However, ban enforcer doesn't know what issued the ban when it's pulled from procon, all it knows is that someone or something added a ban to the banlist. You will need to look at the ban reason to figure out what issued the ban.

This is a huge let down for me, isn't there a way of making it work?

I can work in an api to post your bans there. . You just lose so much information when working through procon's banlist i couldnt justify working with it.

if you guys made an send button on the webend brings problems ?

it is send from the webend not from the Plugin

example CD ban with procon go to the DB from there to the webend and from here to Metaban (if needed )

there is an API Key from Metabans then maybe you can do this on this way like you can do with GGC or i am wrong ?

I agree, which is why we were trying to use PB bans but they tend not to work very well once you get a lot in there, also not the nicest to manage.

 

I stream to metabans atm, really only for the sake of it, I don't subscribe to anyone else so I don't really care personally

 

Having a nice admin interface that people can use through a browser is far more important to us.
