A '#' anywhere else in a rule is just a character like any other.

 

So in a 'Say' action such as 'On Kill;Say %p% has killed %v% with %w% (kill #%c%)', %p% will be replaced with player name, %v% with the name of the victim, %w% with the name of the weapon, and %c% with the number of times the rule has been fired by this player, so the following say text will appear:

 

[OFc] bambam has killed DozySnipa with Combat Knife (kill #7)

hadlock as asked earlier about a rule being specific to a given player, rather that just using %p%, e.g. announcing knife kills by a particular player. I'll think about it, there are a few ways it could be done. E.g. a new 'Name' condition which would test whether the current player name contains the condition argument as a substring, e.g.

 

On Kill;Name bambam;Weapon knv-1;Yell Run!!! Bambam's got his knife out

 

Not particularly difficult to do - we'd properly have related condions Name, Clan, VictimName, VictimClan.

 

That's the most obvious route, but maybe better would be to provide a more general 'Match' condition, e.g.

 

On Kill;Match %p% bambam;Weapon knv-1;Yell Run!!! Bambam's got his knife out

 

%p% could be %v% for the rule to work on victims, or any other substitution variable.

 

Score extra points if you worked out the 'Weapon knv-1' condition could then alternatively be "Match %w% knv-1". Maybe there'd be 'Equal %var% string' for an exact match and 'Match %var% string' for a substring match... Where possible I'd like to provide conditions with the most flexibilty in use, so Match is probably better than Name...

 

next release in a week or so maybe, assuming I complete testing

 

So understood, I'll keep it in mind, but won't implement it before I get the next release out. The next release has a couple of features that will need some bedding down - the 'team' related rules (e.g. "Kit Recon 1;Kill" which is 1 recon per team) *should* now work ok on a Squad Deathmatch server (that becomes one recon per squad), and also there's a fairly radical new action "Exec" which send *any* command to the BF server e.g. "Exec levelVars.set all vehiclesDisabled true" - that provides major possibilities but also plenty of opportunity to really screw up. For example I have no idea whether enabling/disabling vehicles in real-time actually works as intended or waits for round end or what - that's not a ProconRulz issue.

 

Also there's multi-word weapons support (some heli weapons, 1 rifle) - these work currently but you can't write rulz directly involving them ("Weapon M1A1 Thompson" parses wrong on ProconRulz v31)

 

New counts for the server and teams, so rules can fire based on server or team counts (currently all counts are per-player) "On Kill;Weapon knv-1;Not ServerCount 1;Yell %p% gets first knife kill!!!"

 

In the coming version Actions can be targetted at players other than the one that triggered the rule, in a limited way. I.e. a new 'TargetPlayer' condition will extract a playername from 'say text'. A new action 'TargetAction' applies actions to the TargetPlayer. For example this means you can implement in-game admin, although that already comes by default with Procon anyway... ("On Say;Text xkill;TargetPlayer;TargetAction Kill")

 

There's a new PlayerYell action (does what you'd expect) and an 'AdminSay' action that outputs 'say' text only to the admins online, not the other players (so your rules can warn of hackers via AdminSay for example), or you can use it for in game admin-only chat.

 

The workaround for the BFBC2 12-Gauge Sabot Rounds bug should be working ok (BFBC2 assigns the 'shotgun slugs' specialization in error to LOTS of players, even though they don't have a shotgun, and this screws up admin rules trying to block slugs). ProconRulz will *only* record slugs if the player also has a weapon that can do damage 'shotgun'.

 

And there'll be an optional whitelist for player and clan names to be protected from kill/kick/ban actions, in addition to the existing optional protection of ReservedSlots players and automatic protection of Procon admins.

I've attached a BETA version ( ProconRulz_beta32 ) which should sit alongside any existing version of ProconRulz you have so you can just disable one, enable the other. There is a shedload of new stuff in this release but if at least you check out the behaviour on a SQDM server that will help. I've been tidying up a variety of minor snags but on our full server last night the plugin ran without flagging any issues. This version has a lot more error-checking in it and it will give some warning messages in the plugin console if necessary but will still continue.

 

For SQDM the key issue is the support of counts within TEAMS (as in "Kit Recon 1"), which should work seamlessly with sqdm squads.

 

Here's a block of suggested rulz for SQDM testing, modify as you want:

 

# LIMIT SNIPERS 1 PER DM SQUAD

On Spawn;Damage SniperRifle 1;Say %p% only 1 sniper per squad;Log %p% sniper limit. Team: %pt%. Weapons: %w%. Damage: %d%;Kill

 

# PREVENT NON-RECON SNIPERRIFLE PICKUP

On Kill;Damage SniperRifle;Not Kit Recon;Say %p% no sniper rifle pickup for %k%;Kill 100

 

# NO SLUGS

On Spawn;Spec sp_shotgun_s;Say %p% no 12-Gauge Sabot Rounds;Weapons: %w%. Damage: %d%. Specs %spec%;Kill 5000

 

# GENERAL SPAWN AND KILL LOGGING

On Spawn;%p% spawned (#%c%). Team: %pt%. Kit %k%. Weapons: %w%. Specs: %spec%.

On Kill;%p% %k% killed %v% with %w% (%d%) (#%c%, %pt% #%tc%)

 

# ROUND CHANGE

On Round;Log Map %m% loaded in mode %mm%

 

You can also use the 'MapMode Deathmatch' condition to limit your rulz to that mode if you want:

 

On Spawn;MapMode Deathmatch;Kit Recon 1;Say 1 sniper per squad in Squad Deathmatch;Kill

 

In general it's just a case of watching the Procon chat window while a game is in progress and you should see the various ProconRulz messages scrolling by... I use a laptop for that while I'm gaming on the server myself.

 

cheers - Bambam

"Kit Recon 1" --- the "1" in this rule means check the total in the current team, which should now work for all sqdm squads

"MapMode Deathmatch" -- I already checked this works ok

The "TeamKit", "TeamWeapon", "TeamDamage" and "TeamSpec" conditions should work for sqdm squads

The %pt% (player team) and %vt% (victim team) substitutions should say things like "Alpha" etc for sqdm

The "Team xxx" condition should work with Squad1, Squad2, Squad3, Squad4, although in a symmetical game like sqdm I don't think you need this condition (it's different with attack/defend)

There's a new subst var %tc% and condition "TeamCount" which work with the number of times a rule has fired for a TEAM, and these should work with SQDM squads also (e.g. On Kill;Weapon knv-1;Say %tc% knife kills for %pt%).

 

ALSO, if you say "prdebug counts" in the say text, ProconRulz will dump some data into the plugin console, showing who it thinks is in which team, and who has any of the 'watched' items.

The next thing I want to test is the scores displayed in the chat or even (if possible) to "TeamYell".

 

For "prdebug counts", I just put it in but the server is empty so no data. Isnt this pretty much the same as "On Spawn;Log %pt% %p% spawned as %k%". This will exclude the "watched" items.

 

So if I'm correct the "prdebug" shows all players who have a rocket or tube if this is somewhere in a rule?

 

EDIT: I also noticed that Procon Rulz now only shows how much rules have been activated and doesnt seem to give a detailed view of all the rules compiled.

you can test "PlayerYell" with a rule "On Say;Text xtest;PlayerYell Testing PlayerYell!!" and say "xtest" in any say chat...

 

I'm pretty sure it worked fine when I tested it... the only subtlety is that you see the Yell and other players don't.

 

Well spotted the rulz listing when ProconRulz launches is now just "ProconRulz has loaded 60 rulz" or whatever. If ProconRulz doesn't like the syntax of any rule it loads it *will* still spit out a load-time message and ignore the bad rule though, so if you don't see the error message you can assume all your rulz are ok. I do have over 60 rulz and them all being listed was scrolling off my plugin window anyway and you could *not* then see if a rule was bad... if you want detailed analysis of the rules loaded you can set 'Trace Rules' to 'Yes' and then *disable* ProconRulz - the plugin will then output a formatted version of your rulz it's compiled to the plugin console...

 

Saying "prdebug counts" just triggers a debug dump of some data in case you think you've found something complicated in the test, e.g. with just me online:

 

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: ****************Debug command counts**********************

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: ***************Debug command players*********************

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: players in new player cache =

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: players (team 1:Attackers) = [OFc] bambam

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: ********************Debug command teamsize******************

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: min teamsize 0

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: players (team 1:Attackers) = 1 players: [OFc] bambam

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: ********************Debug command watched******************

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: Watched items are: sp_shotgun_s, shotgun, explosive, projectileexplosive, recon, sniperrifle, defib

[18:08:43] ProconRulz: spawn_counts (team 1:Attackers) = sp_shotgun_s(0: ) shotgun(0: ) explosive(1:[OFc] bambam) projectileexplosive(0: ) recon(1:[OFc] bambam) sniperrifle(1:[OFc] bambam) defib(0: )

 

This was important as I was debugging the 'sp_shotgun_s' 12-Gauge Sabot Rounds issue so I could see who ProconRulz thought had spawned with the various watched items on the various teams. The idea is that this should all still work for Squad Deathmatch but it should say 'Team 1:Alpha' probably...

 

While you're playing around with it, here's a useful condition I've been using more and more: "Not Count 1" (with this new version you can also use Not TeamCount 1 and Not ServerCount 1). That condition has the effect of the rule firing only ONCE when the conditions are met PER ROUND (counts reset at round end) for the player, team or server respectively. The condition literally means "rule has not been triggered more than one times" which therefore only succeeds the first time it's triggered... I just remember Not Count 1 means "once" and get on with it. E.g. first server knife kill is "On Kill;Weapon knv-1;Not ServerCount 1;Yell First knife kill to %p%!!". Nothing to do with squad deathmatch but whatever...

I'm guessing from your comments that actually you want rulz that say it is ok to rocket-kill a player inside a tank, but not outside - NO plugin is capable of doing this because all BF says is "A killed B with RPG-7", not whether B was in a tank or not. I didn't notice from your earlier posts that it was "rockets on infantry" that you wanted to block, which isn't possible.

 

@Bonehead - ProconRulz is completely vanilla as far as Procon is concerned, and is a single "ProconRulz.cs" file to put in the "Plugins\BFBC2" folder. You don't need to start/stop Procon / Layers whatever, just click 'reload plugins' on the parent Procon plugin tab. Have you uploaded any other plugins ok? Did you remove the .cs file from the zip first?

@Bonehead, did you copy over the plugin file through ftp? Did you put it in the correct folder? Cause I'm running it fine without any hassle and I got the same host as you for procon (4 procon servers, 5 gameservers each). And the reload button is located in the regular plugins tab, not the layer. If you need help with it, ask me or Rconhostingservices.

 

@bambam, ah ok. I actually thought it would register as something else then the actual weapon used, such as vehicledestroyed or something daft like that...Thanks for the elaborate answer. Too bad it isn't registering as something else, cause taking out the bradley completely will make the server "silvercore"

Having said that, since I only allow the bradley to spawn once, is there a possibility to actually let the rules become active only after say 3 minutes of playing? so something like start of round + 3 mins? Cause the bradley is most likely dead within the first 3 mins.

 

Thanks for the time and effort bambam!

That way we could have told the difference in the plugin. But as it is the soldiers are killed with 'rpg-7' just as if you shot them in the face.

 

If you only allow the Bradley to spawn once, maybe with the new version of ProconRulz you'd allocate the team a certain number of rocket kills, and after that they're suicidal, using the new TeamCount condition.

 

On Kill;Damage ProjectileExplosive;Not Weapon 40mmgl;TeamCount 3;Say %pt% Rocket kills are now suicidal;Kill

 

OK? The first three rocket kills are a freebie, after that you die each one. Just an idea, there may be a better way.

@ Plasmatique: I have the same issue with our SQDM servers. We have an easy solution to minimize the use of the bradley.

 

1. Kill with bradley = kick

2. Kill with rockets = count 3 = kick

3. Spawnrate vehicles = 1

 

Unfortunatly we cant do more then that or else it will indeed become semi-hardcore. Ussualy when our members are in the server the tank will be blown up at the beginning.

 

@ Bambam: Uhmz.. i have to check the rules and see if I made a mistake. Nice thing with the debugging, I think it gonna be a lot of help with trying out different rulesets.

It looks like there's an error there, e.g. maybe if the player's clan name is blank this beta is incorrectly confirming that as 'protected'. If you confirm the [clan name + player name] that will help, and also let me know if the beta seems to be protecting *everybody* or just a few.

 

The message means *ProconRulz* went to apply a Kill/Kick/Ban action, checked its own 'protected' lists as above, and decided not to do it.

 

A player 'protected' status can be checked with the rulz:

 

On Join;Protected;Log protected player %p% joined

On Join;Not Protected;Log %p% joined (not protected)

On Say;Text protected;Protected;Say %p% is protected from ProconRulz kicks and kills

On Say;Text protected;Not Protected;Say %p% is not protected from ProconRulz kicks and kills

 

Any player saying the word 'protected' will have his ProconRulz status echoed back.

 

Most likely I've just got a stupid error in the new 'protection list checking code' in ProconRulz_beta32 (lol it was only a couple of lines) and I'll check this morning...

 

thanks... Bambam

 

** EDIT1 - I just checked our server logs and it seems ok so far... given my explanation above can you give me any more clues, or PM me the chat log. First thing I want to work out is whether it's the clan name or player name that's got the issue. For example, maybe a blank line in the clan whitelist protects everybody that has no clan.

 

** EDIT2 - ok, here's the theory: on my server I was testing with a single entry in the clan name whitelist "OFc" and that worked like a charm. Admins were protected, ReservedSlots players were protected, and any other player who had 'OFc' as a clan tag were protected. Everyone else suffers the auto-admin actions of ProconRulz. But if the clan list is *empty* it can contain a single blank line, and that might have been successfully matching players with *no* clan tag. You could help confirm that by checking the console log to see that the wrong 'protected' players had no clan tag, but maybe other players *with* clan tags were getting admin-killed by ProconRulz ok.

 

The new beta version attached below has some extra code that will prevent 'null', empty, or whitespace entries in the clan whitelist from matching any players' clan tags, if you wouldn't mind swapping that for the previous beta...

By look of things, it is 1 rule per line. Which means if I want to limit total number of sniper rifles, I would need some kind of counter that counts total number of GOL or M95 or M24.

 

Is t possible with this mod? Nested statement?

@bambam

Im pretty sure its the blank clantaglist because our own members are getting kicked or killed. Also other players with clantags are being killed.

 

They are not excluded from the rules. The reason for this is we have more then 125 BC2 players and there some kids who want to mess around.

 

If the clanwhitelist is empty and people are being protected doesnt it also need to aply on the playerwhitelist?

I will put the new beta on asap to check,

 

 

@Wuyanxu

 

Edit: Didnt understand it. I thought it was excluding VSS from the server but now I noticed.

 

The VSS stands in the same line as the T88 and SVU. I dont really know what the purpose is of excluding the VSS from the limitation. A VSS with a 12x scope is a powerfull weapon to have so I would have taking it allong with the limitation.

 

Limit the GOL, M95 and m24

 

On Spawn;Weapon M95 3;Say %p% Max 3 M95 sniperrifles;Kill

 

edit2: Not really awake yet I noticed. To many edits in to little time. Yeah bambam i mixed those two up/.

Specifically what you ask is not possible in ProconRulz - e.g. (count of players spawned with M95 + count of players spawned with GOL is not bigger than 3). With ProconRulz you can only limit counts of individual weapons, kits, damage-types or specializations. In that example you might compromise and allow 2 M95's and 1 GOL, and no other bolt-action rifles. Simpler would be just allow one bolt-action rifle and limit count of that. or maybe only allow one each of the bolt-action rifles. To block ALL of the bolt-action rifles would be straightforward. Not what you want, but I'm guessing you don't want to write a plugin either.

 

Or exclude VSS from the sniper rifle limitation?

E.g. "Damage (SniperRifle not including Weapon VSS) 3" - ProconRulz can't do that.

 

Same limitation as above. It's easy to *allow* VSS, but if you're checking 'Damage SniperRifle' then the player spawned with the VSS will count towards that. I.e. with a rule

 

On Spawn;Not Weapon VSS;Damage SniperRifle 3;Say %p% sniper limit;Kill

 

Player spawning with VSS will always be allowed, and SniperRifle count can be arbitrarily high as it will include the VSS players. But when a GOL player spawns he will be subject to the SniperRifle 3 count including the VSS players. Again not what you really want.

 

if I want to limit total number of sniper rifles

the total is ok, it's when you want to mix-and-match a team total of (all SniperRifles but not counting VSS) that you come unstuck.

 

nested rules

Technically ProconRulz is applying an 'OR' operator between multiple rulz (i.e.you are testing the conditions of rule 1, OR rule 2, OR rule 3, etc), and an 'AND' operator between the conditions in a single rule. Your issue really comes down to how COUNTS are supported, i.e. you need a condition along the lines of "TeamWeapon GOL+M95 3" , which doesn't exist.

 

@Rapidorg - Thanks for the immediate 'whitelist bug' feedback - if that's the case then the m.8 version of the beta should fix that.
