Not sure why but it doesn't happen with the server's I've got it running on very often. I'm working with a few people troubleshooting at the moment.

Testing and debugging the issue is slow because it does not happen often (or rather, it seems to target only specific players).

If anyone is willing to help test, please contact me on Steam: Imisnew2.

Our clan prefers to have everyone in one channel to have fun with all the gang together. We really have a blast. We manually have to move our teammates into a whisper list. If a plugin can to that for you automatically in Teamspeak, that would be awesome!!!!

You can bind separate keys to talk to separate channels. It kinda works like whisper, except only with channels.

 

A while back I looked into doing stuff with the whisper list, but TS3 doesn't support doing anything with the whisper list from their API.

I just want to qualm any fears that may have risen of the past few posts.

This issue is a rarity... and even then, it only seems to target specific people... I've been working diligently to try and fix the issue, but due to the nature of the beast, there's not much information to go on (it's rare/happens to only specific people).

 

If you have this issue, steam message me! I will work personally with you to try and fix this as soon as possible.

We just setup a new Teamspeak with them (100 slot) and tried to get them to add our ProCon's IP to the whitelist as described in the setup instruction. They replied that this is something they are unwilling to do for security/policy reasons...

 

I post this as something of an FYI for anybody else that might want to use this plugin. Also, there is a bit of a request here to find out what hosting companies (per-slot Teamspeak hosting) you guys are using which did not have a problem with this.

As Phogue knows I hate all GSPs, Hypernia is high on my hate list for useless reasons like this.

I got it all set up, and I think I have my TS3 all set up as well.

 

Questions:

 

1) Does the username we enter to get a TS3 server key need to be Odin, or can that be anything?

2) Is there some sequence to which gets started first, game server, Procon, and TS3 server? Does the order of start-up or sequence make any difference?

3) When I first start Procon it says my username and password are not correct for the TS3 server, but if I uncheck and recheck then it says connected, etc.

4) Do we need to create the channels on our TS3 server, or let the plugin do that for us?

5) Is there some other step that we need to complete beyond the few in your first post?

 

So far I have only gotten the plugin to work properly one time, it seemed to be working, created two new channels on my TS3 server, Team 1 and Team 2, then it moved the players around. One player however was moved to the "Lobby" and if moved manually the plugin would keep moving him back to the lobby.

 

I restarted Procon hoping to correct that problem, and have not been able to make the plugin work again.

 

What can I do on my end to help you help me?

 

Thanks!!

 

This is my console message:

1- It can be anything.

2- No, although it would be beneficial to start TS3 before you enable the plugin. There are some issues when restarting the plugin.

3- When starting up Procon, it takes a while to restore your plugin's settings (all of them). If it takes longer than 10 seconds, then it might say your username/password is wrong.

4- Either, or.

5- Nope. If there were, I'd add it. It wouldn't be a very good tutorial if I left out a step, would it?

 

As for the issue of the player being moved back to the lobby... The program first matches on IP... then matches based on name... So if the player is using TS from a different computer than they are playing on, it could result in the program thinking they're not the same person. Also, the plugin is kind-of a bully... because it likes to pick on certain players. I'm not sure why, but it always seems to be the same ones. Sometimes it will pick out a player and randomly move them 3-4 times between channels.

 

The console message indicates that it's working.

1) I think I may have found a bug. apparently if the Yell Message is too long the plugin will not move players. Not sure about that, but I shortened the Yell message and it is working again, at least for now.

2) The player that kept being moved into the Lobby is one of two computers on the same IP address. And I assume that both TS servers are also run on that same IP address. Hopefully we can test this some more today, if I can keep the plugin working this morning.

 

I'll try to provide more information as I discover it!

OK, this morning started it up, and it worked perfectly, then a few hours later it simply stopped working. The debug was sending messages, and the plugin THOUGHT it was working, but nothing was happening.

 

I ended up moving folks around manually.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Restarted Procon, got this console message, and nothing...

I've never heard of it simply stopping, unless the connection to the TS3 server had been interrupted somehow.

FYI Procon and my TS3 server are running on the same machine, a Windows 2003 server.

 

Perhaps should I try to connect to the TS3 server with a local connection instead of its external IP address?

Yes. This is what I do. I use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

I'll try connecting it with localhost or the local IP.

The plugin still works about 15% of the time for me, even though it connects and appears to be working, but it never moves anyone around, they just sit in the Lobby where they connect.

The ts3 events that you want to look for are "clientSwap".

You have only posted the events right when you start the plugin... which can be misleading because the plugin doesn't have any information about Teamspeak yet. You need to give me the logs from before and after the plugin stops working for me to be able to troubleshoot this. I'll also need you to note the approximate time. Instead of trying to get them from the plugin console, I recommend turning on plugin logging.

I thought maybe our numbers had gone below the threshold, or that some users had misspelled their names. Either way, it stopped working.

 

Maybe I should restart the TS3 server? That's the one thing I didn't try yet...
