Adaptive Server Size (1.3.5.3 - 06/14/15)

That's no longer the case, so I'll probably just change the plugin back to having a hard limit of 64 players.

It shouldn't hurt to leave it up to 70 right?

 

Im setting 70 as the max players in other plugins that ask for a max player amount.

 

In votemap, when I had it set to 64 max players, it would not trigger a votemap when ProCon showed 66/64 for example, and once I changed it to 70 it was working whenever I checked it.

I've had it at 64 since you updated it for BF4 and it never gave us any problems with Procon displaying 66/64 due to commander.

You should set it to 50.

I have to switch off the plugin to make the server to 64 or 70 slots.

Thans for help

Hmmm it might of had to do with my max players being at 70, and the recent procon update caused some conflicts, settings it to 64 seems to have fixed things.

- Maximum server size = 70 to 64? Leave everything else untouched?

Yeah, make sure the max is 64.

 

Also on the bottom change the max players for each mode, if you are running rush on a 64 you want the plugin to know it.

Edit. For some reason when I set both from 70 to 64 the server goes custom.

That's because the round started at 40. The plugin changes the size to max between rounds, so this would only happen in the first round.

I have disabled "On startup, assume round started at max server size_"

 

Do I need to enable this?

If you run ASS all the time (layer server), you should turn it on. If you only run it part of the time, you should leave it off. Regardless, it still only affects the first round after ASS is started. After that, it should work as intended.

Our procon auto restarts every 3-4 hours for performance. Does that affect the plugin/server? I'll enable assume round started at max server size since I'm using Adaptive Server Size at all times (awesome plugin)

It shouldn't. If you have that setting enabled, everything should run smooth, even with restarts.

Thank you for the help, falcon. I enabled it and I'll report back later or tomorrow.

under (edit number) players idle kick set to (edit value)

over (edit number) players idle kick set to (edit value)

 

I think this will help the idle kick feature work alot better

@Falcon Ever since I enabled maximum server size to 64 and round startup at max, we've been having zero problems. Thanks again.

I have to go to the FTP and remove the .dll and entries from _.cfg and restart Procon to get back to the initial settings screen below.

Any help with this one?

because it tries to turn off idle timeout which derfaults to 225 which kills our ability to seed more than before. SO either we have 24 hr idle timeout or 225 or we monitor it and keep manually entering command to change it in console (we have to do that part anyway because procon can only be set to 3600 seconds until they issue a fix for procon)

 

Have I said lately EA wants communities gone, clearly. :-/

 

(WHEN is the next release of procon with this fix_)

Also having the same issue at Fragnet and a few other plugins like UMM are doing the same thing or not working properly.

 

When you go to change a setting the settings just go blank

I just installed both today. Got multibalancer running pretty good, then gave this plugin a try. It seemed to cause MULTIbalancer to not work. I disabled the adaptive server plugin and restarted procon, the next round multibalncer started working again.
