Thank you for this awesome plugin!

 

One question, something that I was never quite sure of:

Minimum trespass error (10% - 100%)

 

If I want it to be the most aggressive, so it'll punish the most amount of players (even if they aren't actually base-raping) - should the value be 100% or 10%?

 

 

Best regards!

A player has a circle of radius 20m surrounding them, this is due to the error margin DICE apply to player locations.

 

The percentage represents how much of this circle must be WITHIN the zone for it to be active. So 100% means that no part of the circle can go outside of the zone.

Cool!

 

Thanks for the prompt reply, Zaeed!

 

One last question please;

I wish for the following scenario to happen:

1. Playing in a Conquest map

2. A sniper killed an enemy soldier.

3. When he was killed, the enemy soldier was still in his "home-base" - the UnCapturable base.

4. The sniper who killed him was 1,000 meters from that "home-base".

5. The sniper who killed him is punished.

 

In order for the punishment to take place - should I set the Maximum distance for base camping (meters) value to 1,000?

 

 

Thanks again!

2) Create an area where the sniper isn't allowed to snipe into.

 

I reckon option 2 is the one you're after.

And yes, just set the value really high.. make it 5000 or something.. That would mean that you can't snipe into the uncap from the other side of the map.

I think i have figured out how to use this to restrict weapons, but i have not figured out how to set a whole map zone without going through every map as the server runs and setting one.

 

So the question is; How can i set a zone covering the whole map without doing the above, will leaving the zone name blank and setting firing from zone to true, be adequate?

 

 

Im attempting to do a knife and pistol night for my community, i havent decided if i will disable ranking.

To clarify im not asking you to do something for me, merely if your addon can do this for a knife pistol server, and if so where can i find out about how?

You can't use this plugin to do that. You need to define a zone for it to function.

 

Perhaps try the wepon/kit limiter plugin instead

My clan has recently installed procon and setup several plugins for use on our BC2 servers. I am currently using the Custom Warning Generator to prevent killing from/ and attacking into the Uncaps. However, I have been noticing several anomolies with players getting warned for kills that are nowhere near the defined zones. I have the distance set at 500 meters and the threshold set at 85%. The only other thing I can think of might be the Zoom. I noticed each map had the zoom values set at different levels and none of them are set a 1.0 x. We are currently using the values that were there at install. If you change the values, it moves/changes the shape of the zone. So maybe my zones are not where I think they are.

 

What is the purpose of the Zoom feature?

Can you tell me how Zoom effects the zones in each map? What are the recommended values?

If multiple people have different proconn clients open and they have slightly different values in the zoom, is that an issue?

Is there anything else that could be causing (what appears to be) erroneous warnings?

What I would do is get a few clan mates in and do some testing to see where the rule applies. use the battlemap to track where kills appear.

 

can you tell me what the rules you have are?

1) Attacking from protected Zone-Uncap (Conquest-US Army) - Attacking from zone

2) Attacking from protected Zone-Uncap (Conquest-Russian Army) - Attacking from zone

3) Attacking the protected Zone-Uncap (Conquest-US Army) - Zone being attacked

4) Attacking the protected Zone-Uncap (Conquest-Russian Army) - Zone being attacked

 

As far as trying the borders with clanmates, we have tried that and for the most part the borders seem to work.

Occassionally players are getting warnings that make no sense.

 

I have attached an image of my zone map for Laguna Presa. The Map Zoom is set at 2.38 for both x and y. I have seen warnings for kills that occured on the A and B flags.

 

I have seen warnings for rule #1 when the kill occurred on the A flag. In this instance the killer was inside the small shack south of the flag on the road. The victim was in the building on the north side of the flag.

 

I have seen warnings for rule #2 when the kill occurred on the B flag. In this instance the killer and victim were on the south side of the metal corrugated fence (where you can cap the flag).

 

I only asked about the zoom because it affects where the zone is drawn on the map. If I change the zoom and I draw the zone, people who come into the procon client with different zooms see the zone in a completely different place and think the zone is not protecting where we think it should. When you define your zones, what zoom do you use? 1.0x?

BTW... I am not talking about the scrollwheel zoom. I am referring to the X & Y coordinates on the right of the map tab. These coordinates are visible when you click on the "calibration" button.

 

I have also been noticing that my temporary Ban length (in minutes) keeps getting reset from 1440 (1 day) to 24. Any ideas on this?

I have the following plugins enabled:

 

BFBCS Statsphile In-Game API

Chat Filter

Custom Warning Builder

In-Game Admin

Ping Kicker

Reserved Slot Management

Spambot

Welcome Messages

End of Round Stats

Google Translator API

Metabans

Simple Scramble

True Balancer

 

I have noticed that the Chat Filter has a Temporary Ban: Ban Time parameter which is 24, but this is measured in Hours.

Hmmm, thats interesting.. I'll look at the Chat Filter, there may be some shenanigans going on there..

 

As for the map zoom.. I would guess that the only zoom that would matter would be the one on the server.. not the clients. It's still odd though.. Hopefully on the weekend i'll have some time to check it out..

Well it works for BF3.

 

However, you need to specify public messages, and don't use Yell.

 

Zone infringements won't work.

 

So the plugin is limited to the custom commands functionality.. i.e. creating your own commands.

But apart from that, you have Automatic Zone Warning turned on. This doesn't work in BF3 as we don't yet get kill coordinates.

[ImportBot]

I messed with this for an hour trying to get it to work. It never did anything. No console or events from this plugin.

this mode is used to setup areas on the battle map (not yet available in bf3) so that if you kill, or are killed in a certain defined zone, actions will be take.

 

Put simply, this is an anti base rape mode. You define a no kill area, and punish those who violate it.

 

This isn't yet available in BF3, since they don't give us kill coordinates.
