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.

If you dont want to share that info publically i understand then PM me if you want but i need to mod this and im asking for your help. My admins are without any control right now basically.

 

Thanks...

Delete lines 16642 and 16643.

 

EDIT: Also, disable automatic updates, as you have modified the code. So strange both your layer and database were incorrect for times...you'd think the hosts would keep up with that.

yeah you would think so but im finding out in this business that sometimes common sense and reality are two different things lol... Im still in infancy in my business and i get a great rate on my VPS so for now i have to put up with an extremely lazy host. As far as the gaming host yes they totally should but then again im also finding out that BF3 customer service is somewhat lacking to be kind lol..

 

Thanks so much for what you do, how you do it and for still supporting bf3 as many of us still enjoy it very much. And thanks for the help on this as well :smile:

 

oh i forgot to ask which file name for the edit?

 

nevermind i found it... thanks again :ohmy:

What were your chat logs in procon? That hardly seems possible...

 

It triggers when the winning team is dropping less than 10 tickets per minute, and the losing team is dropping more than 60 tickets per minute. Or, winning team is dropping less than 15 tickets per minute, and the losing team is dropping more than 70 tickets per minute.

 

EDIT: And, those values need to be held for a minute and a half without getting better...

 

Those values over that period of time are not possible while sitting at B, or even if beyond that flag. All flags need to be captured by one team in order for it to trigger.

 

This is for metro 2014, not BF3 metro, just in case you were running it on there...

 

If i am to find out what happened on your server, i need the logs.

A battlelog report just shows how things ended, not how it progressed. You can look at 3 different places for the information; Your procon chat logs, your extendedroundstats table, and the endround record created by auto-surrender.

I am using the last stable version.

Same here! I host the layer myself.

 

@ColColonCleaner:

 

Downgrade dosn't help: It crashes and crashes again.

 

I've deleted all Adkats-parts from config-folder, Plugin-folder and so on, nothing works. And the best: My Adkats-Database is now destroyed. All Bans are damaged :sad:

 

Before the update all works fine for me and now: I must fix my database and my layer yet.

Edit:

 

After a lot of time (i startetbefore 2 hours), databaserestore and a backup from my Layerserver, the old Version from Adkats (5.2.0.0) it works fine for me.

 

I dont know, if adkats was the problem for my database-crash, maybe it was coincidence, but now works all fine with the old settings.

 

No errors occurred now

I'm looking at my version tracker and 126 servers have updated to 5.2.0.0 without issue, and now that 5.2.0.7 is out, another 78 servers have updated to that version without issue so far.

 

 

So we need to find out what happened to your particular layer that caused something to happen. Last beta, so you were between 5.1.7.0 and 5.2.0.0, then updated to 5.2.0.7.

 

 

What happens on startup of your layer if you have AdKats disabled? Does your layer crash after you enable it?

No, i mean the actual exception log from AdKats. In the plugin console. It gives more information that I need.

Linux boxes seem to have issues using the webclient, we've see this before. It could just be the way the firewalls are normally configured on those machines.

 

I can't see where the first one was happening on your layer, so i added some more debug around that area. The last two are the same, your layer was simply unable to connect to github to check for db updates.

 

Try this version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Co...ster/AdKats.cs

  • 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.
