Is there a way to hide the PB kicks? I have named bans only set to yes.

With the actual available version you only have the choice to disable kick messages to be shown,

but you can not difference between core server kicks and pb kicks.

 

Well, i'll see if i can add a more detailed config.

I've added some switches to the kick and ban settings.

Now you can choose if PB bans / kicks should be shown or not.

 

Remember, it may take a while to show up on the package list

as update.

Hi mate, I can't seem to change the yell announce ban option to yes.

Has anybody else had this trouble?

Does it mean you can not change the setting because it switches back to no

or do you mean it is set to yes but has no effect?

It's switched back to no as soon as you have selected yes.

Hi Phil,

 

On the R32 The message "PC_DIALOG_TEXT_VIPKICK." still appears. Could be possibe that your plugin read this message but shows something different? (Reserved slot used, VIP accessing, etc.)

 

Thanks,

Please specify where this "PC_DIALOG_TEXT_VIPKICK" dies appear?

Until now i only have seen that as a message shown to a player by his BFCB2 client

after he has left the server but never as reflected message inside the game.

 

If i remember right DICE had confirmed the display of that placeholder in the client/server

as a bug related to the changes on handling the reserved slots, but with very low priority to fix it.

 

Hmm... well, i'll take a look if i can rewrite that message if it is send over the rcon as reason for a

kick.

I guess that cannot be altered via rcon since those kicks are issued by the server directly.

I still wonder what causes it to change, since some servers have it, but others dont.

Well, good question.

I have also no explicit answer if it is caused by the server, the client or both in combination.

For that reason i want to know if someone has seen this message echoed by my plugin as a

reason.

 

As long as it is only shown to the player been kicked out by his client, there is no way to change

what the one been kicked out gets to read. But if it is server based "bug" it might be that the

server sends this placeholder reason also with the kick-event as a reason. If that happens the

plugin could change the text it sends to the chat messages.

After you downloaded a plugin using the package tab on the start page you have to close/stop procon

and start it again. While starting up it will detect the plugins downloaded and ready to install and install

them.

 

While doing this procon starts up with the update information window. If it has finished you find

the plugin on the plugin tab and the status on the package tab should have been changed to

"installed".

The way you discribed I did exactly before. Other PlugIns install smoothly (Admin InGame Map Commands, Quake counter). After klicking "install Package" a "restart" icon appears.

Restarting Procon leads to the update message appears and I find the installed PlugIns within the Procon tab.

 

Only with "Admin Announcer and onSpawn Message" this procedure does NOT work :huh:

 

Can you send me the package manually maybe?

 

Meanwhile I think I am too stubid :sad:

This should have nothing to do with your plugin. I just installed it a few days/weeks ago and experienced that messages on our servers before too.

Afaik, that was "broken" a few serverpatches ago, but wasn't stated that important to release a fix for it. We should maybe ask Kalms at fpsadmins about that :smile:

Well, i did that a while ago. :smile:

The answer i got was what i posted in post nr. 40 and before... a known client/server bug with very low priority to be fixed.

 

So we both see it the same way, until someone reports to see that PC_DIALOG... text in-game send by the plugin there is

no need to do anything.

Yup, seems reasonable to me :tongue:

I added reserved slots via Procon and it was saving in the file reservedslotlist.txt in the server config directory.

And there was another file reservedslots.txt which was empty. As I remember.

I do not know what the kicked players saw as a kick reason but I guess it was the same message.

I hope I am not mistaken in anywhere in my post because my english is no good.

Have I said something useful?

Jip. If you are unsure don't hesitate to write an explanation in your main language.

We are an international mixed group so someone will help with translation. :ohmy:

 

Well, to be sure i'll take a look at the plugin as it should be no big deal to catch that

message before it get displayed in the ingame chat.

 

Maybe you have a the chat-log activated and have that message saved there?

That would help me a bit as i never encountered it in the game chat myself.

[01:25:32] Seiya1971 has joined the server..

[01:25:32] AdminIn_and_SpawnMsg > Admin joined the game!

 

The "PC_DIALOG.." always appears when the server is full and one player with reserved slot joined the server.

Well, i've added a configurable replacement string for that VIPKICK string.

 

Feel free to test it.

Do do so do the following:

  • stop procon
  • open your /Plugins/
  • make a backup of CAdminIn_and_SpawnMsg.inc
  • replace CAdminIn_and_SpawnMsg.inc with the one in the attached zip
  • restart procon

For testing only:

CAdminIn_and_SpawnMsg_for_testing.zip

 

Actually i have some trouble with the package system, but Phogue is

on it. As soon as that is fixed the new version can be retrieved through

the package tab.

    • 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.

    • 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
