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.

I'm guessing you can't use procon to punish or ignore reports can you? I typically use the console a lot and it would make things 100x easier than going into the game.

You can. As long as you have "Enable commands from Admin Say" set to true (which you have for proconrulez punish commands) then you can simply type in the "Chat" tab in procon the same commands that you would use ingame. I Believe the chat tab or plugin console window will display reports as they come in.

 

I know the Web admin tool for Adkats shows reports also.

[01:57:26] AdKats > AmoryEntity requested server rules.

[01:57:36] AdKats > Say > All > (1/14) Do not argue with Admin, he has the last word!

[01:57:38] AdKats > Say > All > (2/14) Disrespecting other players is not allowed.

[01:57:40] AdKats > Say > All > (3/14) If you Cheat / Spawn Kill / or C4 on Spawn Point = BAN!!

[01:57:42] AdKats > Say > All > (4/14) English Only Text Chat!!

[01:57:44] AdKats > Say > All > (5/14) Criticizing other players game play is Not Allowed!!

Run this version:

 

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Co...test/AdKats.cs

 

It will automatically remove any admin commands you've accidentally assigned to the guest role, and it will not allow them to be assigned back again.

I'll give that test release a go, hopefully that thread issue is fixed as well :ohmy:

Ok, please run this query on your DB and PM me the results, another tester had the same issue before (one command was marked admin when it shouldn't have been). I want to be sure this is fixed before I release the final patch for AdKats.

 

SELECT command_key, command_playerInteraction FROM adkats_commands;

Figured it was something like that :ohmy:

Nice job mate :smile: Just one tiny thing, in your code comments it says version 5.0.5.9, but the code actually sets the version to 5.0.5.8 which is what is returned in PRoCon, no biggy though. :ohmy:

We get Report Player emails and some of these reports I would like to be able to issue a punishment to the reported player (Especially if the report is from a trusted player or a player with high reputation).

 

But since the reported player is no longer in the server, I am not able to issue a punishment. This is a feature that I would like to see in the future or even add a punishment feature to the player report that is sent on each reported player email.

 

Just submitting my ideas and this is in no way a complaint. Your efforts have made administering servers so much easier so thank you for creating this plugin.

You can do that, if the layers are not rebooted. Once AdKats starts up it will begin holding in memory every player who enters the server, and if they leave they are stored in a separate section where they still can be acted on. Issuing punish against them will result in a question "Punish Player -> playername[OFFLINE] for reason_". Is this not working for you? It will not if your layers rebooted after the player left the server.

Ill change that to a warning, error happens when it hits the five failure to connect limit.

I think we started having this after todays install new version ...

1. Yes it's from AdKats, that message is sent to admins when a player joins your servers for the first time.

2. You can see all messages I send in procon's chat tab, i don't hide any messages, just look there.

Just noting here. The web admin (BFAdminCP) for AdKats will have a test release very soon and it will have the ability to punish players outside of the game. Even if they are offline. Something new I'm adding to it.

For BFACP support please post in the BFACP topic linked above.

Do not contact me via PM on the forums for help with procon. Please make a topic for it. Only PM's I will accept will revolve around any website issues.

  • 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.
