Interesting, I tried something like that a few weeks ago. I changed the 32 to 64 in ProCon and applied the change. It was showing up as 64 in Battelog, but all the players that joined after the 32nd player were stuck sitting in Neutral and were unable to join either team or spawn in.

That's because the round started at 32. You can't change the server size to a number larger than what the round started out or you will experience that bug. If you had just restarted the round, it would have worked fine. That's why this plugin set's the server to it's max size between rounds.

When I restart the map it will jump to 64 slots, and show very briefly as a 64 slot server in Battlelog, but then it will revert back to 8 slots and disappear from battlelog, no one joins, can someone help me out please below is my server file:

Your server settings are fine. Sometimes servers disappear from Battlelog. It's a known server/Battlelog bug. Just restart the round and it will reappear.

Hi there, I have never been able to run the old maps on 64 player Rush? how could I achieve this? I basically get to the old map and 32 players get kicked.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers

Normally, you just set all the maps in a rotation and set the number of players at 64. Maybe it doesn't work if you mix old and new maps? I dunno. I've played on the old maps with 64 players, though. You can probably find a server now if you search.

Thanks falcontx, I should let you know that I have the battlelog filter set to show 64 slot servers , but when I restart the round, you are right, it appears in battlelog as a 64 slot server, but it soon disappears again because the server has reverted back to an 8 slot server when it refreshes, it doesn't stay as a 64 slot server with battlelog filters set with 64 slot.

 

When I enter the command vars.maxPlayer 64 it also reverts to a 64 slot server but again at the very next refresh it reverts back to an 8 slot server and drops from battlelog with the 64 slot filter set.

 

My 64 slot server does not show (in Battlelog or Procon) as a 64 slot server, it shows as an 8 slot server when it is empty.

 

Sorry to be a pain

Oh, well that's normal. If you tell Adaptive Server Size to change your server to an 8 slot server, then of course it's not going to show up in the 64-player filter.

Ok then, thanks for that, but what I do not understand is if you have a 64 slot server why on earth would you run a plugin that is going to turn your 64 slot server in to an 8 slot server until you have 41 players in the server when it will actually show 64 slots in Battlelog. Sorry but it just might be that I don't understand what it is suppose to achieve, it seems quite useless to have a 64 slot server not showing in battlelog as a 64 slot server

 

EDIT: By the way I have had the plugin running for over 12 hours now and it is still empty, no one is joining

 

[14:29:37 92] AdaptiveServerSize: IDLE -> 1 players online. 0 players joining. Server size set to 8. Round started at 64.

 

Am I suppose to set the server like

 

Server size with 0 players ........ 64? I dunno because at the moment everything is at default setup

If you don't like it, don't use it. It's as simple as that. However, the goals most people try to achieve with this plugin are either 1) keep the size 5-10 over the current number of players in order to capture those using the "Free Slots" filters and/or 2) keep the size at 125 to 150% of the current number of players in order to get more QuickMatch players (as it's theorized that QuickMatch prioritizes servers that are mostly full).

Again thanks for that, mate I didnt mean to offend you, each to their own, apologies to you. So if I have all of the settings as default with 0 to 6 showing 8 and 7 to 9 showing 9 then that is correct, with 0 players in the server the server should show only 8 and not 64 slots?

 

EDIT: I don't know if it will work or not but I have set the size with players from 0 to 4 as 64 then with 5 players it reverts back to an 8 slot server to hopefully pick up the Quick Match players, setting it like I have shows in Battlelog as a 64 slot server.

 

Your thoughts greatly appreciated

Not sure what you mean by "7 to 9 showing 9", but basically, whatever number is in the right column is the size the server will be when the specified number of players are online, and that's what it will show in Battlelog.

I have seen other clan servers I know getting stuck so really I know it's not just me.

You'll need to be more specific and provide logs. Please refer to the Support section of the first post for details.

Today in the battlelog it was showing my server as having 64/64 and 3 in the que but when I looked at procon it showed only 37 on my server and the number were dropping all the time until I shut down the plugin and then stopped procon, within no time the player numbers shot back up etc.

Sounds like a Battlelog bug.

Seems to me that the serverstatus is processed later than it is delivered, but commands are sent directly to the server. So it may happen that:

the Plugin stucks on 12/12 players and wont accept more players.

the gameserver has 14 players on while plugin/procon is still proccessing a playercount of 8 and sets the server to 10 players -> 2 will be kicked.

Even say Battlelog entries with 64/8 slots!

 

In the beginning I had 12 servers running on one Procon instance and those problems accured 3x per day and server. Disabling the plugin, setting serversize manually and reenabling the plugin was my workaround.

Now I have split up my Proconsetup with 4 Instances where each controls 3 gameservers. This seems to work much better - had no complains from my members since 4 days.

 

Another point is RAM usage. Procon uses more RAM the longer it runs. After 4 Days one instance used 5,3 GB. So I recommend a automated restart every 24 hours....

Plenty of ways you can do this. Either on your GSP CP or use a plugin like Automatic Round Restarter which has options to restart the server as well.

i really recommend this plugin to everyone cause it's a miracle worker. it helped me fill the server fairly easily with the help of 2 other clan members. great Job Mr falcontx
