Firstly I'm trying to get the anti camping weapons to work so that players in the uncap can use specific weapons to take out a chopper if its attacking them without those that are potentially being baseraped are not warned for base camping. I could exempt the RPG CG etc. On the map I have kept the AA in the uncap exempt from being protected by the map zones either way so at least they can kill with the AA without punishment and the choppers can also take them out.

 

The problem I get is that if a player is in their own uncap and they kill a baseraper quite rightly for protection, they get warned/kicked for camp killing in their own base. I get players moan cause of it but I don't know how to allow them to kill a baseraper without punishment. Its like they cant protect themselves from it without suffering consequenses and if they let a baseraper kill them then its a death against that players stats in order for the baseraper to be punished.

 

I'm trying to figure out the ideal solution to make it fair for both teams. Fair defense from baserapers without punishment but punished for campng and killing non baserapers from their own base. The baseraping punishment is fine as it is.

 

Any ideas?

I can probably do that. For starters, shooting down choppers is tricky, since I can't determine if a player killed was in a chopper or not.

 

You *could* create a anti camp zone that restricts everything but Projectile Explosives. That would solve the shooting chopper issue..

As for killing someone within the anticamp zone, I can program that in..

 

I'll try and include it in the latest release

The features you are requesting are available in the "insane punisher"-plugin. Have a look at it:

But it would be great to have them in the CWB too.

I've just had to draw myself a diagram to make it clear in my head what can be done to make this happen. I have come to the conclusion that a value could be made to add a set distance shooting out of the uncap that would not punish for base camping. This option can be made to give the defense an enemy too close to base defense option. It will also eliminate the problem where the base zone would be more than the actual base itself.

 

The other option would be to add an option where you can mark extra zones on the map where punishment is avoided if an attacking enemy is killed in that area. Again a defense zone. Once a player is killed past that area then it is classed as base camping.

 

I like to a degree the insane punisher but I do like the options that the CWG gives and its layout. Plus its easier for me to request new options :smile:

Umm, DHGreenday, the original feature you were talking about, has nothing to do with Defense Map Zones in Insane Punisher. If you look closely at the diagrams, you will see that if you are inside your base and you kill an enemy who has trespassed into the base boundaries, then it's not considered Base Camping. As far as the other feature, you were talking about ... shooting down choppers from the base ... weapons such as tank main guns, AA, Static AT, VADS, RPG etc are allowed to shoot out from base. However, to not make it unfair for choppers, they can kill people who are on the AA, AT, or VADS without being punished.

 

Insane Punisher, and CWG have differences. CWG is more customizable as far as zones, and weapons. You can use it to enforce many rules ... not just Base Camping, or Base Raping. Whereas, Insane Punisher only purpose is for preventing Base Camping, and Base Raping with strict rules, and pre-set map zones. (true, you can define your own zones, but almost no-one who uses Insane Punisher, does that ... most of the time they use the default zones).

I guess it can depend what people want to run and how they want to do it. All my ideas are to try and balance between attackers and defenders and to make it as fair as possible.

 

I think also most plugin developers would be happy to improve and enhance their creations :smile:

An anti camping feature would help to protect the uncap even further.

Unfortunately you can't tell where someone is unless they make a kill.. so if someone goes into uncap, plants c4 on chopper and leaves, then there is no way to punish it..

I don't know about setting it to 10. We left ours at default 74 and works fine.

 

You might want to create an account in your PLC and pm someone the login intructions to your panel so they can have a good look at it and maybe get on your server to test it with you.

Question about the installation: The first post says

 

Installation:

- Extract CCustomWarningBuilder.cs into plugin directory.

But the unzipped directory also contains CCustomWarningBuilder.inc and a packages folder (CCustomWarningBuilder.xml). Do I have to copy them too, and if yes to which location?

But I have two new questions:

 

1) I don't want Snipers to shoot into the main bases and kill spawners. Can this event be flagged with Maximum distance for base camping_!

 

OK I just set the distance to 1.000 and shot from A at Atacama into the US main and it worked.

 

2) 1.9 Privat warning message does not work for me. Pls see the attached screenshot.

 

I am running Procon + CWG in the latest versions via a Layer Hoster (CWQ runs on the hoster machine too).

They do not show up at all. Kick and kill messages work. Are my settings OK?

 

And is the Maximum Distance for camping the important value to punish a player who shoots into the base from a great distance? Or does CWG log the kill every time a player is killed in his protected home base?

After much fuss, a clean re-installation of PRoCon was made and we are now operating with the basic load of plugins. No problems at the moment. Further discussions with Branzone revealed that when the CWG plugin was activated, it created a 100% CPU utilization which affected our BFBC2 server. We currently have two instances of PRoCon on the same server one for vanilla BFBC2 and one for Vietnam. Both servers appeared to exhibit this behavior.

 

We had a total of 17 custom commands generated for use by admins in-game. No zone actions created.

 

We would like to reload the CWG plugin but need to figure out what's going on first. From the little bit of info I've provided, do you have any ideas?

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      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
