Advanced In-Game Admin and Ban Enforcer - AdKats

3) I've always liked to use the Pre-message in rconnet, but I think you have not properly implemented this system. The numbers can be forgotten, and abbreviated name of the reasons / pre-message will not forget, for example:

Your message like: Hacking/Cheating. How it will look at AdKats: hc=Hacking/Cheating

/ban [nickname] [reason] = /ban Qwerty hc - player Qwerty got banned with reason Hacking/Cheating

 

4) If i write assume /kill nickname hc - I can not kill the player with reason hc because writes: Reason to short, unable to submit. Can you remove the restrictions?

 

Kind regards

1) Not a bug, specifically made that way so you can target yourself with commands instead of entering a name.

 

2) The system is meant to track everything, and that means informing players of what happened to them. I have not added an option to disable that.

 

3) The premessage system was built in AdKats a long time ago, like when the plugin was first made nearly a year and half ago, not based on rconnet. Its a nice feature suggestion though.

 

4) There is a setting for minimum allowed reason length. Its defaulted to 3, change it to 1.

This has been fixed, among a few other things, and is available on the test branch for those interested. Full release coming soon with the bugfix.

Does this version still include the changes we worked on in regards to Insane Limits/Adkats plugin calling? If so then I will certainly try out this test build too, but obivously I don't want to lose that functionality if its not present in this build.

 

Also the map functions that I gave you the code for, is it likely that will make it into the next final release or is that still a way of yet?

No, map functions will not be there, yes everything else is still available.

Can you make 2 options Pre-message? Old and do as I wrote?

I know in previous post you stated that you were waiting for Symtic to update their weapons stats. I found this forum post on their site and wondered if this is what you needed to help you update the weapon stats. The below link list new weapon stats:

I hope this helps, If not, sorry for wasting your time.

You misspelled the player name. Don't dis the system for user error. And on top of that you completely disabled command confirmation, so if you made a mistake in spelling it wouldn't let you correct it. I was waiting for this to happen after you removed confirmation and it did.

Its something called a Levenshtein distance, maybe you should understand how this plugin works before calling it nonsense. Using a Levenshtein distance is the most efficient way of matching 2 strings together, and the algorithm will ALWAYS return a match and never be a nickname doesn't exist because of how levenshtein distance works. This is not a "bug" or nonsense, this is intended, if you chose to disable command confirmation then the plugin has no choice but to use whichever player name returned the lowest value for character edits required to match (this is how Levenshtein distance works).

 

As ColColonCleaner pointed out, this is the danger of disabling command confirmation, which is why right next to the option it says "-DO NOT USE-". I don't understand why you would want to disable this anyway? Its not exactly time consuming to type /yes to confirm your action, and it also eliminates issues as you mentioned above as you would have seen the match was wrong and could rephrase your input string to get a better match on the player name.

Why don't you just write your own plugin then if it's so simple as you say?

I have no skills. I want to help to make a plug-in better, but ColColonCleaner wants to remain last century let and will tell, I'll just stop using in-game commands of this plugin.

 

It looks idiotically when the plugin takes a random player if the nickname is not entered correctly!

I think you'll find that last century they didn't have this plugin, much less computers. This plugin does amazing things and works really well, if you read the documents and understand how it works.

 

You decided in your infinite wisdom to disable command confirmation which resulted in the incorrect ban. That's your fault, not the fault of the plugin. If you'd left confirmation enabled you would have seen the error and stopped it beforehand.

 

What looks idiotic is someone coming on here demanding that the plugin be changed for you and that the plugin is flawed because you decided to go against the recommended settings.

 

ColColonCleaner is human and has a life outside of this as well and you should be thankful he said he'd look at making the change you suggested if he had time and leave it at that.

 

@ColColonCleaner, sorry for derailing your thread, I will refrain from further comment on this topic. Thanks for your hard work.

You asked him to add an option to remove the confirmation on player actions. He did it and you disabled it. The confirmation was put in place to prevent these types of mistakes from happening in the first place. This plugin has been in development for over a year and a half now. There has been tons and tons of testing of its systems thoroughly to make sure it functions like it's suppose too. You can't blame the developer if you don't understand how the plugins features work.

Looks like something happened during the update to your user list. Look in the adkats_users table, in the expiration column, are they all zeroes?

Test branch was attempting to fix a user fetch problem. Those messages wont be in the full version.

If any of the rows are all zeros this will happen, is it like that for any of them?
