Teamspeak 3 Sync

Would you mind if we met up on your Teamspeak sometime so I could troubleshoot the issue? This would have to be while the issue is occurring (I'm assuming it happens a lot_).

When 2 people join the game server with the same ip address & a similar name.

Eg. SteelieD & Steelied007

It moves the one person in teamspeak to the wrong squad. Eg. The squad of the person with the same ip adress.

Both SteelieD & Steelied007 where on the bf3 game server. Only SteelieD was using TeamSpeak3. The system moved SteelieD to the wrong channel, he was moved to the channel of Steelied007, who was also on the gameserver.

I had a quick look at the code, and actually researched what levinshtein distance is. I need your expertise on this one.

I realise it could be fixed by asking one of them to change thier names, as i am in communication with them. But i am not sure if that is the appropriate thing to do, as they are unaware, that i know, they are using the same ip adress.

Again thank you for this plugin. It is really good work. I was a real lover of bf2 squad VOIP. This is starting to work on the Spark servers, in a very small way. The BF3 population is just very ignorant, that is all i can say. Great plugin.

Cheers.

EDIT: I get the same error dyn reported. It doesn't happen often.

People just manually change squads / form new squads now which works fine, but thought having it automated would be cool. Again, seems like a stretch.

I originally thought about doing this but it would require two-way synchronization instead of just one-way, like I have it at the moment. So, I just stuck with the plugin as it was and called it finished. If I find the time in the future, maybe, but not now.

It's true, currently the way it is setup is if the player's name appears within the in-game name, it's considered a match. I actually removed a lot of functionality from the levinshtein distance in the code and have been thinking about just making it a simple == again. There were problems early on where names that seemed different were actually very similar using the levinshtein distance formula. So, instead of reworking the code, I hard-coded the percent match to 100% so that less "bugs" would pop up about people and their names.

 

In short, yes, what you described will cause an issue, and changing their names will fix it. As long as one person's name is different from the others, and is not fully contained in the others, then they should be fine. The reason they are getting mixed up sometimes is because SteelieD's name is fully contained in Steelied007' name. However, they would have to change their in-game names as well, which might be a problem.

 

In my next bug-fix release, I'm simply going to remove the levinshtein distance formula and force players/users to have the exact same name if there are multiple people playing on the same ip. Hopefully this will fix the issue.

Short answer: nope, but I know about it and I'm looking into it. It has something to do whenever a game server takes an exceptionally long time to connect to.

After a couple weeks of working on this we did get it working properly, but I have a few questions.

 

First, we use "Default Text To Speech" with our teamspeak 3 server so we can hear who's joing the server. For those of you who are new to this instead of hearing "New Member" or "Member Joined" it would actually say the members phonetic name. This is a nice feature but unfortunately this can also be a headache.

 

For instance with this plugin all of our guys join the "staging channel" before joining our Bf3 server, when they enter the room and join the alpha squad it broadcasts to everyone in the staging channel and even to those that are not inside the staging channel that a member was moved to "Team 1 Alpha" by the server. Is there a way to disable these prompts. I don't think it's necessary for those of us in the default "Lobby" channel that are not playing to hear what's going on inside the TS3 Sync channels. If a player leaves or joins my channel I don't mind being notified, but if I'm on the US team I shouldn't have to hear about every movement players on the RU team are making between squads. I hope that makes sense.

 

Also we have two members that run procon for our BF3 server and we noticed the other night that sometimes when one of us moved a player from one team to the other team they wouldn't change channels in teamspeak. It it because there was more than one person running procon at the same time and only one of the members is on the white list?

 

Oh and one more. We have two players from California who play from the same house. They were both on our Bf3 server on the US team and in the alpha channel, but every time procon would put both of them in the US alpha squad or they would directly join e correct channel on teamspeak it would kick one of them back to the staging channel. Is it because they play from the same house? Possibly same ip or something?

 

Thanks guys,

Those have to be turned off client-side. There's nothing I can do about that via the server query interface.

As long as you are not both running Teamspeak 3 Sync at the same time, then it should be OK. Due to the polling nature of the plugin, it tends to fight with the second copy running since data is being sync'd at different times.

It's a known issue. The work around is to match your Teamspeak 3 username with your in-game username. However, if the two players names are similar, then the plugin might still get confused.

Hmm, I kinda like this idea, so, in about 1 month when I'm not uber busy I'll see about implementing it after looking at some other bugs.

I think I may have chosen ANSII encoding at the time of development of the Teamspeak 3 server query framework. I'll make it UTF-8 on the next release. Unfortunately, that may be around 2-3 weeks, if you can wait. Sorry for your trouble.

 

This is, assuming, that Procon 1 handles the text as UTF8 when passing it to my plugin.

Every time when i disable the plugin for one or two days and i want to reactivate it the server-query-account is no more valid.

Is this normal that the account on the TS3 Server disappears after some Time of not using it ?

And how can i create a permanent server-query-account on my TS3 Server?

Any luck with finding the issue with team speak auto disabling every time the layer restarts?

As for the invalid server ip and port, make sure you are using the server ip and query port. If you've checked that, make sure the box the TeamSpeak 3 sever is on has the necessary ports opened and forwarded. Also, if your Procon instance is running in sandbox mode, you'll need to add your Teamspeak 3 server's ip to the allowed hosts list. See the instructions on how to do that.

It sounds like, for whatever reason, your query client has lost permissions to send a "channelfind" query. The full list of required permissions can be found in the original post, under Setup Instructions. Try re-creating a server query client to see if that works. Otherwise, try contacting your TS3 Server Provider and getting those permissions added to your query client.

B = Second Person

 

A join server first and is on US side

B joins server 2nd and is on RU side

 

Both are put in the US channel, if B joins the RU side and then A joins the server both are put in the RU channel.

 

So is it possible to program this that if 2 people have the same IP then it then goes onto names in the server or is that a whole shed load of problems?

 

Im sure there are quite a few out there sharing a router

Not sure. Maybe you have squad swapping disabled, or you're not meeting your threshold?

Also, the point of my posting, the issue where the plugin would be disabled upon a restart of Procon should be fixed with Procon 1.4.0.1.
