Hi,

we have one problem with this plugin.

Some players of our clan have accounts with special characters. They have one or two crosshairs at the beginning, between or at the end of their accounts.

Is it possible that these accounts do not function in the whitelist?

Cause these players got always switched if in the other team were lesser players!

If i´m right is it possible to fix this problem by an update?

 

For example to paste in the function "use reservedSlots-list as whitelist" like in the plugin weapon limiter.

Cause there the accounts with special characters like crosshairs function good

Have been using the plugin for long time now. Love it. Had an instance happen this past week that made me think a minor tweak to the code/logic employed might be kinda nice.

 

Would be kinda nice if the balancer would NOT switch people once the ticket count got below a certain threshold. Perhaps 10 tickets or something, maybe admin/user defined value for this.

 

The other day I had a squad-mate that had been playing on my side for maybe 4-5 minutes. My/our team won the round. He was in my squad and on my team right up to the point where it said to me "your team won". But he was switched right at the last possible microsecond and he got the message "your team lost.

 

Now...I'm not to worried about people getting switched to the losing side. It has to happen sometimes and its just a game after all. But..... that last millisecond switch was kinda shocking to see and got me thinking that True Balancer (and other balancers) really ought to have a minimum ticket threshold where it goes into "pause mode" and just lets the game/round end instead of switching players when there are only a few tickets left.

 

 

Something to think about....

You can spam messages like this using either the spambot plugin or using punkbuster commands. You will not be able to do it using the True Balancer plug-in.

While I'm sure the developer(s) could code it to do this, personally... I hope they do not do that. I think it is useful for the players on the underpopulated to know that help is on its way. The messages let them know that something will be done shortly (so don't leave the server too soon thinking that nothing is happening).

Anyway I can track this down more definitively?

 

Thanks

- To avoid same player being swapped again over and over, track the times since player "voluntarily joined/swapped teams" as opposed to time since the player joined the team (i.e. if True Balancer moved them, his time shouldn't get reset)

Exactly what I came here to say. This option is an absolute must, especially for larger clans like TKC that have people joining all the time. Thanks.

Panther said,

Installation:

Copy "TrueBalancer.cs" into your plugins directory.

\Plugins\TrueBalancer.cs

Use only files found in the attached zip.

 

After downloading PRocon 0.5.x.x (not the Beta 0.6.x.x) you need to extract the zip. In the PRoCon - folder you will find a folder called "Plugins". Put the "TrueBalancer.cs" from my zip into this folder.

We have \Procon\Plugins\BFBC2. He says TrueBalancer.cs goes into the \Plugins folder.

 

So, do these files go into the \Plugins\BFBC2 folder?

TrueBalancer.inc

TrueBalancer.CompareTeams.inc

TrueBalancer.LevelStart.inc

TrueBalancer.MovePlayer.inc

 

Thanks!

Download the zip in the first post.

Extract to your Procon folder and maintain directory structure.

 

In the zip file:

\Plugins\TrueBalancer.inc

\Plugins\BFBC2\TrueBalancer.LevelStart.inc

[etc..]

 

In your procon folder:

\Procon.exe

\Plugins\TrueBalancer.inc

\Plugins\BFBC2\TrueBalancer.LevelStart.inc

[etc..]

 

Enjoy!

You can install it from the package tab and not have to worry about any manual setup you realise?

Thanks!

 

BTW, can we uninstall a plugin? I didn't see that option on the Package tab. I just went into the folders and deleted the files myself.

Make sure you delete the .xml file in the packages tab also.

    • 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.

      Prophet731,

    • 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

      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.
