In addition, you will have to restart procon to get TS sync working again.

I would pay for this =)

When I get time to actually work on the plugin, I plan on fixing what has been said in the past few threads, plus implementing this (as it was already asked for a while back). So no worries. However, unless there's a fatal issue, then I won't be touching this plugin until around December. Sorry.

I can't get it to work but others have and like it. Hope I'm not breaking any rules here, just trying to help people out.

Most of the time it never puts me in a channel.

Also, I'm with Cliff on the need for more advanced channel options because as it stands you cannot use TeamSpeak's userfriendly Whisper To "Complete Channel Family" as a radio system because the guys on the other team will get your transmissions (plugin currently requires every channel to be in one channel family). It is preferable that each and every channel can be assigned in a custom fashion so that if a user really wanted to, he could have eight different channel families...or more.

When I enter any of the channel names in my TS3 it connects then comes up in red saying "There was an issue finding the channel (my channel name) Check your Staging Channel Name then try again. I have tried every channel name and get the same result?

Yup. I've seen a few variations of syncing up BC2 and BF3 servers with team speak, using external php, C++, or C# programs. They work well (some listen on rcon constantly, others just poll the server occasionally). This plugin was meant to work in conjunction with Procon.

 

@People being moved from any channel

Known issue. Sorry. Will address in next release.

 

@Plugin saying ridiculously long string of numbers

What? Explain?

 

@Plugin bouncing certain people back an forth

Was a known issue in BC2 due to some weird (wrong) information being sent by the server occasionally. I have not had the time to look over the BF3 protocol and how well it works. Although, I've seen instances where the BF3 protocol does not return valid information, making it seem as though the player has no IP, or EA_GUID.

 

@Whispering to channel families

I understand the issue with needing a greater variety of channel management... I plan to implement this. You'll have to either wait a month until I can find the time, or use a stand-alone solution (as mentioned above). Also, could you not set the Team channel as the parent, and only whisper to it - I haven't messed with this functionality.

 

@Not finding staging channel

Oddly enough, make sure you're connecting to the correct TS3 server. If, for some reason, you have two TS3 (virtual) servers running on the same PC (for like, an admin teamspeak server or something), you might be specifying the port for the admin server instead of the normal server - in which the channel names would more than likely be different. Otherwise, make sure you are spelling the channel name correctly (uppercase and everything).

 

@Everyone

I plan to work on the plugin eventually, but I'm very very busy at the current moment. Anyone is free to modify the source code and upload their work here (throw your credits in there too). It's heavily commented (although not pretty), and I'm more than willing to answer questions about the source if you have some.

Typically the plugin will say "Moved by Odin". Maybe that is supposed to be "Moved by Admin"?

 

When I was away for several hours, the guys said that instead of hearing "Moved by Odin", it would say "Moved by 89629561257896109561512" and they said that before stating some long string of numbers it would state my TeamSpeak username. So it would say, "Move by Fifty5Guns 89629561257896109561512" or some such.

 

I turned the plugin off and turned it back on after 10 seconds and everything was back to normal.

Nah, I randomly named it Odin. It normally says "Moved by [query login] at [ip of ts3]". Sometimes the renaming doesn't work right and it says "Moved by Odin at [ip of ts3]". Not sure if this string of numbers is what your users are talking about or not. As for the Teamspeak using their username... I've no clue.

 

@Bazza

I can't say more without looking into this personally. Is there a time I could meet you on your teamspeak? Please give the timezone as well.

(1) My TS3 host "Light Speed" has not given my query ports sufficient permissions to search for the staging channel.

(2) For some reason Light Speed does not allow clients to add to the white_list.

Any ETA when the update comes around?

Ideas?

 

**My understanding of threshold is that there needs to be 12 in game and 12 in TS before it will sync, but is it 12 identical people or any 12?

December, once university classes have ended, I will begin fixing these issues. I'm a bit busy at the moment.

 

@Drayu

It should be... 12 people who are in teamspeak that are also in the game.

EDIT: And now that I re-enabled it...it will move people to the staging channel from any channel in TS when they join. Actually it is a cool feature if I could choose to enable/disable

It creates a channel Team 0, which isn't in any of our channel lists.

 

2 people with the same ip, only 1 gets put in the proper channel.

 

The other never seems to more, even with the BF3 and TS3 names are exactly the same.

It bounces you around a lot it seems. I think it does this when you die, as this seems to be when it happens.

Sort of annoying if you have TS3 announcements on by default.

UPDATE: It is now several hours later and I have restarted the server, the ProCon host, ProCon software and the plugin...and the plugin still will not come online.

One of the biggest issues is that the plugin moves people out of rooms that have nothing to do with the gaming channels. I have tweaked and tweaked the settings again, and this is a persistent issue.

Moving people out of channels is a known issue. The plugin not working after 'x' time is more than likely due to either connection issues between Procon and the TS3 server or the white-list on TS3 not being setup correctly.

The server provider said the IP is whitelisted properly.

I am admin on a teamspeak server, where we have some channels where we want to sync users with and channels where we don't want to sync users with. Both channels have (almost) te same channel name, except the non sync channels have "(non-sync)" in the channel name. Strangely enough the users get synced in the "(non-synch)" channels, right where we don't want it.

 

I would also like to know (just my curiosity) how this plugin matches the players ingame. Is this by game/nickname in BF3 and TS, combined with the user's IP-address?
