@Morpheus, I really like the new table you created with the EA GUIDS and other info. Great work and nice upgrade.

I've also removed a bug sending the notification-emails twice.

 

Attention: you'll need to re-configure your plugin and delete the old NotifyMe.cs file from all plugin folders since the plugin structure has been changed!

Is there a way with this plugin or another plugin to have an email sent when a certain number of players (usually a large volume) leave the server abruptly?

 

I think you see where I'm going with this?

I tried gmail and I thought Morpheus said it didn't work. Are you using gmail?

It works without any problem.

 

Set exactly the settings I have set above in bold, except substitute YourEmail and YourPassword of course.

I tried with a google apps version, so its not @gmail.com but it is gmail. Perhaps I'll try with a gmail.com address.

That's more likely the job of the FailLog plugin, which can already report blazes via Email

Your Procon layer doesn't seem to allow outgoing email (seperate setting when the sandbox is enabled).

You'll have to get your host to allow this setting in order to use the plugin's email reporting.

We allready disabled the Procon Sandboxfunction but the Error seem to be still the same...some additional Tipps where we can find such permission?

You cannot disable the sandbox with your local client while connected to your Procon layer (I'm guessing that's what you've tried). This will need to be changed with your Procon layer host.

My observations were that the plugin kept timing out while trying to connect to the SMTP server of GMail (using SSL).

It's still possible it works though, it just didn't for me in my quick tests

Maybe your firewall port wasn't opened up? I added an inclusive rule to allow the SSL ports.

 

Also, when people use !calladmin it says that there are no admins online, but we are ingame

Yes, I noticed this too. It erroneously shows there are no admins online when we are in the server.

 

If not too much trouble, I would prefer an option to disable the automatic message about whether or not admins are online when someone calls for one. I have found many times that troublemakers will use this as a quick way to see if they are safe to cause trouble by confirming if an admin is online. I have it set up to notify admins in ProCon, by email, and in the server when someone calls for an admin, so I would rather not announce to the whole server that an admin is not in there when they call for one.

I use the very same connection details for my Thunderbird email client, so I highly doubt that.

 

Regarding the admin-listing: I might have seen something like this too, not sure about the cause though. Will have to check it once I find time, which might just be next week.

The messages about admins not being online should just go to one player, at least I think so

I might add settings to toggle those messages though, again, once I find the time to do so

It doesn't work with either Procon-accounts list or custom list.

Also a request on this plugin.

Can you make an option to enforce an readon from the player requesting an admin?

Email sending via authenticated SSL over port 465 does not work. The only debug info I can provide from ProCon is that the SMTP send process is timing out. The layer server is behind my own firewall that is not blocking this traffic, and an SMTP client from within the same LAN can send messages out via authenticated SSL over the same port.

 

This definitely worked in an earlier install of ProCon running for a BF3 server with an earlier version of the plugin, but this is a completely new ProCon layer, so it must be something with this new version. No plugins are running in a sandbox.

 

I would be happy to provide any debugging info necessary. Perhaps a verbose logging option to show what the actual SMTP failure is?

As noted in the few posts above, this is known.

Also mentioned a few posts ago: known, but most likely not fixable on my end. It seems like the SmtpClient the .NET Framework provides cannot handle all types of SSL connections (it appears to work better with "older" ones, but has quite some problems with "newer" connection types).

Unfortunately, there's not even more information to log since the SmtpClient does not provide more info than the timeout (it doesn't throw errors or likewise).

See above. Broken. Will be fixed in next release.

Please read at least the last page before posting.

Hey Morpheus,

 

If you have a chance when you update the next version of Notify Me, please also consider this:

 

Please add a requirement for a reason to accompany every @admin call done by the player. If they type @admin without a reason behind it, a message would show up and tell them they must type @admin with a reason. Vote Ban and Vote Map have messages similar to this when something is typed incomplete.

 

Code:

[b]Example from Vote Ban:[/b]
---------- %1% = voter %2% = vote ban command ----------
say "%1% - The FIRST %2% request must include the REASON:   %2%  <Player Name>  <Reason>" all


[b]Example from Vote Map:[/b]
  this.ExecuteCommand("procon.protected.send", "admin.say", speaker + ": If you are trying to vote, you seem to have forgotten the / in front of the map number.", "player", speaker);

No matter how clear I am in the server messages, most of the players just type @admin with no reason, and Im seeing a pattern where admins are just totally ignoring admin calls that do not include reasons because they treat them with less priority over an admin call that would clearly state there's a hacker in the server, for example.

@general: I won't find time to work on the next version until Wednesday earliest, probably more like end of next week. I'll include IAF SDS' last request and the fixes mentioned before.

Are you ignoring my messages? Ok... My try #4...

 

Could you please add possibility to include PB_GUID (not EA_GUID !!!) in player table of outgoung e-mail notification _!_!?

 

We're uisng PB_GUID based bans on our server, and sometimes it's not possible to find full player PB_GUID using PLAYERNAME and EA_GUID.

 

I'm sure that most of people are using PB_GUID, but it will be great if you will add a switch in plugin settings which GUID should be used for e-mail playertable.

 

E-mail works great! Thanks for you work! This is very usefull plugin! Our admins can react immediately thru their phones even if they're not online! Great!

 

 

Two more suggestion for next release:

 

1. Fix of empty "ClanTag" in Playertable of e-mail notification

2. "KDR" Column - number of digits can be rounded to x.x or x.xx for more convenience

 

Thanks in advance !!!

1. Fix of empty "ClanTag" in Playertable of e-mail notification

This is way harder to accomplish than in BC2 since BF3 and BF4 don't transmit clantags and would thus require implementing a Battlelog-Lookup to fetch them from the player's profile.

I'll add it as an issue, but that's quite low priority at the moment.

Thanks Morpheus. Im looking forward to your next version forcing a reason to be included with each @admin call.

 

I know the admins will appreciate it as much as I will.

 

Regarding the clan tags fetching above, I certainly would prefer not to have another plugin hitting battlelog for more requests, so please consider making the clan tag fetch an option if you decide to implement this idea.
