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 about the !rules command?

Please understand me. Here is the following scenario to explain the issue.

 

A guest role' player has the following commands allowed for him:

!rules and !help (Request Rules & Request Server Commands)

 

Now, if a guest role' player having the above enabled, using the command !rules, it will show the rules to everyone.

AdKats > Say > All

 

If I disable the Request Server Commands, and they use the !rules, it will show the rules only to the speaker.

AdKats > Say > [speaker]

 

 

Now, that means that the "Request Server Commands" permission is doing two things; controlling the usage of !help, and permit the !rules to broadcast to everyone...

 

 

Do you understand the issue?

Look at command_id 57 in the adkats_commands table. If command_playerinteraction on that line is 1, change it to 0, and reboot your layers.

Direct interaction can be done via insane limits, but commands are still accessible from proconrulz. You can have proconrulz issue a hidden admin.say that AdKats reads. In this format "/command parameters", just like you would in game. For example admin say "/kill ColColonCleaner Rule Breaking". Just make sure in the command settings section you've enabled commands via admin say. There is a much better way of doing this via Insane limits with many more options, but this is available to rulz.

This actually helped. Thanks! :smile:

But how exactly did it fix it? What does command_playerinteraction do?

Why was that changed to 1 in your database in the first place? At no point has that command been considered an admin command.

 

Since there was no way of determining which roles should be considered "Admin" since so many different combinations could exist, i have it set up to where each command has a setting of player interaction. If a command will or could affect another player's gameplay negatively, that command is classified as a player interaction command, and any role with a player interaction command attached is considered an admin role.

And one question about the IRO Punishment....when i want to use it do i need to enable the commands for default user role? Because when i enable the !punish and !forgive commands i see [ADMIN] on that role setting.

 

Thanks for your help and your great work. :ohmy:

Punish and forgive are admin commands. If you are trying to use this for HC teamkilling these are not the commands for that. The punish system in AdKats tracks how many times players have broken the rules in the database, and based on that gives the appropriate punishment. The IRO clause in the punish system just makes the punishment harsher if they break rules fast (more than once in a X minute window).

 

If you are looking to support punish/forgive for teamkilling there are other plugins that can handle that.

1. every reserved slot (player) has to be assaigned - right?

2. so i create a user role for our 150 reserved slots and put in every single player - uff :-)

3. what are the advantages by doing that?

4. what happens if i forget one

 

thx in advance for answering

That is the way of doing it for small cases. For large or automated cases, use the special players table, and the slot_reserved group. There are docs for this.

No, if you use the reservedslots.txt file, just make sure you have "Feed Server Reserved Slots" set to False, and AdKats won't touch your reserved slots.

 

That error...shouldn't happen, i use locks everywhere. But that method is massive, and i wont be able to find the problem unless i get a line number. It will only affect your layer for under a minute, but it still is an issue.

  • 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.
