But i think the player spotting in BF4 is not working for all players. I didnt notice an announcement for the players joining but the option Spot players on "yes" and Spot on Chat Tab "yes" too.

 

The admin announcement for the peoples who are in the admin list is working and i see the announcement in the in-game chat.

 

Can you add the option to edit the announcement for all "standard" players whop join? In the Settings of the Plugin and maybe in the next Update? ^^

Have you also set "Spot after 1.kill" to yes?

If that is set to "no" the plugin will only spot/announce normal players during

pre-round where no onKill events take place. Originally this was meant to

inform players that others are coming while the server is under the playerStart limit.

Can be done.

The yell divider was changed, but I've overseen the check for the kick message.

That's fixed now with 1.3.5.1.

When a vip joins and a person gets kicked they do not get a reason just told they have been kicked.

Kick for VIP message doesn't really work that way in BF3 & BF4.

 

DICE needs to implement this on the server side / battlelog.

 

We've requested this feature and maybe this will be added.

And the plugin's version still shows as 1.3.5.1 in Procon.

Well maybe you have misunderstood or I did not explain properly so I will try again,

The message did not show in the chat in-game but after they got kicked this message was sent (in red)

"XXXX was Kicked For:Random slot was needed for b0oz member joining." to people when they were kicked when someone on the reserved slot list joined the game in bf3. Once the reserved list slot was fixed in bf4 I made the changes that you had posted in this thread to the plugin and started using it again and that message was being sent again.

I had people in teamspeak confirm that message was being sent when they got kicked and people stopped complaining that they did not get a reason why they were kicked when a member joined.

So after updating to the latest version the kick messages in-game chat came back when someone got kicked for base rape, but the out of-game message in red has stopped, The complaints came back and it was confirmed in teamspeak that the message was no longer there.

I guess you have a wrong impression how this plugin works and what it can do.

 

At first let me explain that - based on BF3 - in case a player is kicked for a vip based on the reservedSlots list by the server the server sends that "kicked for vip" message to that kicked player so that that reason can be displayed via battlelog. While doing so the server sends a kick event with the reason PC_DIALOG_TEXT_VIPKICK over the rcon.

 

Now this plugin monitors those kicks and detects the PC_DIALOG_TEXT_VIPKICK string. Triggered by that it sends the "kick for vip" message to the in-game chat and ONLY to the in-game chat. It CAN NOT change the reason a player gets displayed after a kick via battlelog or his client. The reason this plugin sends the "kick for vip" to the chat is to have fellow players of the kicked on informed why so in case they can tell him.

 

If you see the "kick for vip" in the chat all is fine regarding this plugin.

If your players do not see a "kick for vip" message via battlelog or game-client it's something wrong with the server.

We all know that for some time also a BF4 server did not show the kick reasons - regardless of the kick type - to players.

It's meant as an onJoin and not as a onSpawn message, therefor I will not change it.

But I'll add a check that a player once announced will not be announced again until he left the server on it's own or via kick.

Thanks for the explanation and I appreciate your time and effort.

All I wanted to do was let you know that it was working when I copied the changes EBassie had made and when you made your last 2 updates it stopped working.

Maybe you can be a bit more specific in what has stopped working in the latest version?

You said:

So after updating to the latest version the kick messages in-game chat came back when someone got kicked for base rape, but the out of-game message in red has stopped

Now if the in-game chat messages for kicks are back it seems all okay for be because the "out-of-game" message is nothing a plugin can change. A plugin can kick a player with a reason, but no plugin can rewrite the reason included in a kick it hasn't done itself.

I wanted to point out that if I kicked someone for base rape that is what it said in chat and that was working not that it changed the message sorry for not being clearer.

 

The announce a VIP in chat works but there is no message to say someone got kicked for a VIP in the chat.

 

in case a player is kicked for a vip based on the reservedSlots list by the server the server sends that "kicked for vip" message to that kicked player so that that reason can be displayed via battlelog.

And not getting the reason displayed via battlelog is what I meant by out of game message which people are not receiving, I hope that makes more sense

Hard to say without knowing your settings.

Everything to yes can be wrong.

If you set "Quite mode" to yes the plugin will only report in Procon what it does

but will not send any message via say/yell.

Settings are okay and working for me. Checked BF3 and BF4.

Remember your VIPs have to be on the server ReservedSlotsList if you don't add them

manually to the vip list of the plugin. Also at both places you have to add them with

their ingame player name exactly like it is spelled in game.

Well, I can't reproduce your problem.

Works all well for me.

 

Stupid question but, have you stopped Procon while updating the plugin?

While having Procon stopped and uploading a fresh copy of the plugin make sure to

delete its dll in the BF4 folder.

Please take a look at the folder structure of the zip.

You have to place each file in the related directory and the *.inc belongs in Procons main plugin folder.

I really would like to record these events (mostly because of FairFight) to my chat-database.

 

Thanks!

Actually I have to check the different messages with that event and which are not needed.

is it possible to include the admin name, when someone gets kicked or banned?

 

For example: %admin% KICKED {0}. Reason: {1}

 

This would be great!
