@Phil_K: With BF4 the kicks and bans are not announced. Joining admins are announced properly though.

Hmm... seems the PB messages have been changed again.

I'll take a look at it the next days.

Just a reminder

 

PS: Just banned a player on EA_GUID and it got announced properly. Seems only kicks are not announced.

Any update on when you think you'll have this ready for BF4?

 

This is an awesome plugin.

 

 

Edit:

 

Kicks work, but they appear as bans!

 

[19:56:17] Admin_Announcer > undecended89 was banned for: High ping (311)" [Admin Decision].

The latency plugin does a PB Kick. A PB Kick is always a short time ban.

Hence it's showing the kick as a ban.

 

Standard is 5 minutes, if I'm correct. Could be two minutes. You can set that time in the PB config.

 

Kicks on EAGUID do not get announced properly with this plugin in BF4 currently.

I managed to fix the plugin for my own use for BF4.

It's a simple fix. In the code there are multiple checks for gametype == BF3.

 

As the kicks for BF4 are the same as BF3, editing these checks gave me the announce of the kicks back for BF4:

 

Change this part from line 1118

Code:

public virtual void OnPlayerKickedByAdmin(string soldierName, string reason) {
            if (this.m_strServerType == "bf3")
            {
                this.OnPlayerKicked(soldierName, reason);
            }
        }

To this:

 

Code:

public virtual void OnPlayerKickedByAdmin(string soldierName, string reason) {
            if (this.m_strServerType == "bf3" [b]|| this.m_strServerType == "bf4"[/b])
            {
                this.OnPlayerKicked(soldierName, reason);
            }
        }

But there are a couple of more instances of that check. So, I did change them all

One bug i think is sometimes when people are joining

 

[23:12:33] gamsizm has joined the server..

[23:12:23] Please stand by, 1 more player(s) are joining.

[23:12:34] gamsizm has joined the server..

[23:12:23] Please stand by, 2 more player(s) are joining.

[23:12:35] gamsizm has joined the server..

[23:12:36] Please stand by, 3 more player(s) are joining.

[23:12:37] gamsizm has joined the server..

[23:12:43] Please stand by, 4 more player(s) are joining.

 

Is this a known bug?

It's working for BF4, but if you want to announce EA_GUID & Named kicks, you should make an edit yourself.

See my post here:

Hi EBassie

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Can you maybe implement also an announcement for all players who join? Like Moli joined the game! and that it only checks if this player is in the admin list when yes it should output the admin announcement in the chat tab else it should announce the player announcement. like Rconnet have... That would be very great

Hey, I will not do that. Maybe Phil_K, the original author of this plugin, wants to do that.

 

But I think you can easily do this with ProconRulz or InsaneLimits.

Thanks EBassie, maybe will Phil_K do that. What you mean Phil_K? ^^

There should be an option to turn off the player/admin join announcements coming from the gameserver's reservedslotslist.txt. We would rather just add the players and admins who get announced via the plugin's admin and VIP list. These 2 functions should be separate from each other, not combined.

 

Currently, if we were to activate this plugin in its current state, our admins and regular players who seed our servers in the mornings would cause spam in our in-game chat window (player join messages every 3 minutes from the re-connecting seeding admins/players)..

 

(our server seeding admins/players are not listed in the plugin's admin or VIP list.. but they get announced because of the gameserver's reservedslots.txt entry..)

Well, that was already in with the playerSpotting but only for BF3/MoHW.

I've added a check for BF4 and you can now have players announced during pre-round or always.

It also does no double announcement, players who are admin or vip will not be "spotted".

 

I have had to disable this plugin ever since:

 

- added announcing of VIPs based on reservedSlotsList / server based VIP list

Tse... always those wishes...

With the actual version you can decide to turn of announcement based on the reservedSlotsList.

In that case you have to maintain the lists in the plugin.

 

Btw, the two functions aren't combined they are done independently.

This means a player can trigger a "Admin joined" and "Vip joined" message if he is admin (via list or privileges) and

is on the vip list or reservedSlotsList. This is because some like to have vips announced with name but want also

show that an admin has joined but without a name.

My player name is not listed in the VIP list but it still announces my player name when I connect (VIP player xxxx joined the server) along with all other admins who aren't on the VIP list either.

 

I assume they are announced because the admins all have reserved slots. Otherwise the manual VIP player list name entries aren't correctly updated by the plugin. My name used to be on the VIP list but it was removed. In any case, bug or feature, it causes severe in-game chat spam with "VIP player xxx joined" especially during morning seeding hours.

 

We don't want admins to be announced as VIP players. Therefore I don't see how to configure the plugin to exclude all admins completely from being announced as VIP players. Hence why I have to disable the plugin

And this is based on which version?

Have you tried the latest where you can disabled the VIP announcement based on reservedSlotsList?

Hmm will give it another shot, could be a problem with the plugin installation, will install it again.
