Description

 

This plugin is designed to discourage soldiers from base raping, base camping, and team killing.

It has been tested on both Rush and Conquest modes. It allows victims of such incidents to take action against their killer. The possible actions are "punish" (admin kill), "forgive", and "votekick". The actions are taken by typing them as an in-game command. Only victims of rule violations, are allowed to take action.

 

Map Zones

 

In order to set up this plugin, you should designate the base areas and the base defense areas in the battle map. Designating defense areas is not required but recommended. If you do not want to define these zones, you can use the default zone definitions provided in the settings file by setting the variable "default_zones" to true. Default zones are provided only for conquest mode. If you use your own map zones, these do not take effect immediately. Custom zones are detected the first time someone dies or kills in it. To view the list of zones for the current map use the !zones command.

 

US_BASE / RU_BASE / NVA_BASE

 

This zone is used mainly for designating spawn areas. Soldiers are not allowed to shoot into

this zone, or out from it unless they are in a defense zone. Air vehicles and ground vehicles are always allowed to shoot out from the base.

 

US_DEFENSE / RU_DEFENSE / NVA_DEFENSE

 

This zone is used mainly for designating base defense areas such as Anti-Air and Stationary AT guns.

Soldiers cannot be punished for killing from this area. Also, soldiers cannot be punished for killing an

enemy that is in a defense area(unless they already trespassed into the base). Note that defense zones should be inside or at least overlap with

the base of the same team.

Public In-Game Commands

 

In-game commands are messages typed into the game chat box, which have special meaning to the

plugin. Commands must start with one of the following characters: !,@, or /. This plugin interprets the

following commands:

 

• !punish [name-substring]

  This is the main command, and most fun of all. It allows victims to punish (kill) soldiers who violated the rules of engagement. If "!punish" is used without specifying the soldier name, then the last aggressor with ROE violation (against the victim) is punished. Punishments cannot be stacked. For example, if an aggressor team kills a victim twice, then the victim can only punish the aggressor once. However, punishments by different victims are stackable. For example, if an aggressor team kills two victims, and both decide to punish him, then the aggressor is punished twice consecutively. Note that if an aggressor is dead, punishments are queued and applied on re-spawn.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !votekick [name-substring]

  This is a lesser used command, but still powerful. It allows victims to cast votes against soldiers who violated the rules of engagement. If "!vote" is used without specifying the soldier name, then the last aggressor with ROE violation (against the victim) is voted against. Votes are stackable. For example, if an aggressor team kills a victim twice, he can vote once against the aggressor, with two votes being cast. When a victim casts a vote against an aggressor, all other victims of that aggressor, who have not taken action, are reminded to vote. This is similar to a traditional votekick, with the difference that only victims of the aggressor are allowed to vote.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !forgive [name-substring]

  This is a command of camaraderie. It allows victims to forgive soldiers who violated the rules of engagement. When forgiving, the victim waives the right to take action against the aggressor for all previous ROE violatons. This command is mostly used by soldiers forgiving teammates afer an accidental team kill.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !slap [name-substring]

  This command is just for fun. It allows soldiers to slap each other publicly. The type of slap is chosen randomly from the settings file.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !insult [name-substring]

  This is another useless, but fun command. It allows soldiers to privately insult each other. The pre-defined insults in the settings file are mostly jokingly insults. Insults are chosen at random.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !mystats

  This is a statistics command. It allows a soldier to view his rules of engagement violations, such as team killing, base raping, and base camping. It displays the name of the victims, together with the total and pending violations against each victim. Pending violations are those for which the victim has not yet taken action.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

Admin In-Game Commands

 

These are the commands that only soldiers in the "admin_list" are allowed to execute. Reply messages generated by admin commands are sent only to the admin who executed the command.

 

• !settings

  This command prints the values of all plugin variables on the chat box.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !set {variable} {value}

  This command is used for setting the value of this plugin's variables. If you omit the value, "true" is assumed.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !get {variable}

  This command prints the value of the specified variable.

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !enable {variable-substring, variable-substring, ...}

  This command is a shortcut for enabling (setting to "true") multiple variables at the same time.

  For example, the following command:

  !enable punish

  results in all variables that contain the word "punish" being set to "true" e.g. punish_rape_kill, punish_camp_kill, and punish_team_kill

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !disable {variable-substring, variable-substring, ...}

  This command is a shortcut for disabling (setting to "false") multiple variables at the same time.

  For example, the following command:

  !disable punish

  results in all variables that contain the word "punish" being set to "false" e.g. punish_rape_kill, punish_camp_kill, and punish_team_kill

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !stats [name-substring]

  This command is used for obtaining statistics about soldiers rules of engagement violations.

  If no name is specified, it prints a summary of all soldiers' ROE violations on the chat box.

  If a name is specified, it prints a detailed report of that soldier's ROE violations. (similar to !mystats command)

  [/*:m:qt36hr4f]

• !zones

  This is a debugging command. It shows the list of zones active for the current map. It is useful when using custom map zones, to help you see the zones that have been detected.

Other Notes

 

I wrote this plugin mainly as an exercise for me to learn C#, so don't expect the code to be elegant or the most efficient. Finally, thanks to the Insane Gamers Asylum for allowing me to test the plugin on ~IgA~ servers, and to Phogue for PRoCon.

That is correct, defense zones are areas inside the base where punishing and votekicking rules don't apply.

When someone makes a kill from a defense zone. The killer, and the victim are both sent private messages eg:

 

defended the base from

or

died honorably defending the base from

 

These messages are hard coded, if you want an option to modify them or turn them off, I can put that in.

 

The reason why the defense zone should be inside the base is because if it's is outside, it does not do anything. The defense rules are only applied to the areas where base and defense zones overlap.

 

The first time someone is killed or kills from a defense zone, the plugin caches it, in order to remember it. Then, the next time similar incident happens, it checks if it's inside a defense zone or not.

 

Finally, the default_zones provided have defense zones for all conquest maps. For example in Atacama, on the US side, the AA and AT in the back are marked as defense zones, and in the RU side, the AA on the back, and the AT on the front are defense zones.

so if I set up a RU defence in ru base then in the defence zone ru can take out enemys that enter that part of their base. But enemy taking RU out in that defence area will still get baserape warning?

 

think you forgot one AT/AA on each side one more in the back of RU on one infront of US base

It does not matter who kills who, as long as the RU soldier is inside an RU_DEFENSE zone, neither killer or victim can get punished. (regardless of whether the US soldier trespassed or not).

 

One improvement to the current behavior would be:

If the US soldier trespassed into RU_BASE to kill the guy who is inside RU_DEFENSE he can get punished (he should not be going into the enemy base anyway)

 

This only would apply to infantry. Helicopters should be allowed to trespass into the base to kill someone in a defense zone. They usually trespass while doing bombing-dives to kill soldiers in the AAs.

 

just a suggestion would it be possible to get you to code an option if you wanna the warning in say or yell. 90% of our players didn't notice the punish option in say when they got baseraped.

I will add an option to yell or say for each of the incidents type (base raping/base camping/team killing).

 

think you forgot one AT/AA on each side one more in the back of RU on one infront of US base

Yep, I will add those to the default zones. Let me know if there are other places that need to be added, of if a default zone is too small or too wide. I know for fact that the base zones in Laguna Presa (conquest), are a bit too big. (players keep complaining about it, specially snipers).

 

You can always define your own zones in the battle map in the mean-time while I add the new ones. Just turn set "default_zones" to "false", and create the zones you need.

With customwarnning builder everything works just fine.

I found multiple logic mistakes in the 0.0.0.2 version, where I was not taking the trespass percentage into account correctly. Now you can modify those percentages to your liking. You can turn on debug_mode, and suicide in different locations to see whether or not the zones are being detected correctly.

 

Something that you have to take into account is that with Custom Warning Generator, shooting into the base from outside, does not count as base raping... you have to be inside the area (I believe). With this plugin cross border shooting is punishable unless you are killing someone in a defense zone.

 

Try it out when u have a chance, and provide feedback, to help fix issues. Thanks!

Futhermore the base of US in arica should probally be a little bit futher back so it dosn't include hills. but ends at the gate and the walls. I don't know about you but we have players camping with sniper just a couple of metes from the walls of US base behind stones. Etither that or setup defence zones.

 

a bug: when adding more that one admin to the admin list the debug or admin commands dosen't work an ex. whern I type in my Nick and the next line my co. leader it shows up as AngelFireDKStynX.

 

But so far the zones seems to react as they should. have been ruing around on arica doing suicide with debug on.

2. Did you remove the 'automatic' kill ?

I have also made the zone changes you suggested for Arica, and Laguna Alta (under train bridge). Finally I added the re-calibrated rush default zones.

 

I just haven't uploaded the new version yet, as it was being tested on IgA servers. Normally, I leave it testing for a couple of days to catch major bugs before uploading it.

 

Look for 0.0.0.4 release tonight, the changes will be there.

Also, has anyone tried the default Rush zones? I am asking because I did not test them extensively. I just made sure that there no places that were blatantly wrong.

Additionally, what about the bridge area? Should the entire bridge length be considered RU base?

yes I would probally include the whole bridge, incl trains and under the bridge. Sometimes ppl do wait for the atv to spawn under bidge and have seen US sniper camping in the big building besides the RU base and ppl are easy targets if the whole base isn't protected.

I did have base zones set previously, as I had the Basic Mapzone plugin running but these have been deleted so as not to cause any kind of coflict.

 

The plugin is clearly running as it identifies the punish/slap/insults commands but :

 

base rape / base camp response is that this punishment cannot happen until the named player rapes/camps...even though the death was clearly inside the base zone but not in a defense zone.

 

insult/slap response is "the server does not know any insults" or "slaps" as the case may be.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of the plugin are you using?

What version of ProCon are you using?

Did you get the plugin through ProCon packages, or did you download and install it manually?

Did you try enabling debugging mode, what outputs did you see in the chat box?

Did you try using the !zones command?

I set it up locally (on my machine) to test it and this fixed it so I just have to get him to reset it in relation to his file structure.

I'll post when I know if this fixes it.

Please keep reporting any problems you see related to this plugin on this thread, I appreciate it.

 

As to the path for the config file, the plugin internally tries to get the current working directory like this:

 

Code:

settings_file = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\" + settings_file;

Normally, in Windows you go to the directory where the binary is, and double click on it, so the current directory is the same as the directory where the process was started. However, if you start the process from a different directory (through console), I think you will get a different CWD. Also, if ProCon internally calls SetCurrentDirectory, and does not restore it back, then it will show a different CWD.

 

I come from a Linux background, all these are assumptions based on the POSIX getcwd, and chdir functions.

Ideally I would want something like C's argv[0], which is the actual path to the process's binary.

I do not know what is the C# equivalent of argv[0]. I'll search around msdn, and see what's available.

SetCurrentDirectory is never called within procon, it gets confusing if you start making minor exceptions everywhere. But it does not matter because the plugins are loaded in another appdomain and have the base directory of /Plugins/

 

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory will get the working directory without the assembly name, similar to argv[0].

Code:

settings_file = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, settings_file);
