Reboot ProCon server, then restart local ProCon (1.4.0.4) ... but the Plugin is not in the list.

Any Help welcome

 

On the ProCon server, the BF3.def is from Dec 6th 2012, including DLC-4 weapons and mode.

Zip or Rar the plugin files up before you upload them and then unzip them there on the layer

x = current hour of day

if(x > 0 and x

 

right after

 

Code:

private void CheckServerSize() {
            this.m_iDesiredServerSize = Math.Min(this.m_iCurrentGameModeMax, this.m_iPlayerServerSize[Math.Min(this.m_iCurrentPlayerCount + this.m_DPlayerJoined.Count, this.m_iMaxServerSize)]);

or would that cause unforseen problems?

just use insane limits. i call that plugin "pluginception".

Yeah, that should work.

Like a charm, thanks for the input.

i have 9 layers total 528 slots and adding a number for each size is painful.

 

my idea is that we first set the max server size, then automatically we get aline like

0-64 = 64

 

if we change it to

0-32 = 48

a line automatically appear saying

33-64 = 64

and so on.

 

 

just a suggestion. it might not be possible.

 

 

edit :

 

another way is to set it up to look like this

1-1 = 32

2-2 = 32

3-3 = 32

4-4 = 32

5-5 = 32

6-6 = 32

7-7 = 32

 

where the first number does not change, but if we change the 2nd number to look like this

1-5 = 32

 

it will delete the next 4 lines to look like this

1-5 = 32

6-6 = 32

7-7 = 32

It's possible, but it would be a lot of work for something that most people only do once. If the settings are the same on all of your servers, just copy the AdaptiveServerSize lines from the config file of the first server you set up and paste it into the others. That's probably the quickest and easiest way to propagate the settings.

We change maps/modes on our 4 layer servers, and it is a pain. Each of the layers have different size. BUT, I like the plugin enough, it's not make-or-break!

 

Because of the way Procon plugins must be coded, maybe like this?

 

============================

Delete_Range: [0,1,2,3,...]

New_Range: [True/False]

 

Range_1_Start: [0]

Range_1_End: [27]

Range_1_Server_Size: [32]

 

Range_2_Start: [28]

Range_2_End: [48]

Range_2_Server_Size: [48]

============================

Don't be like me and assume that you have already donated for this plugin -- I thought I had, but could find no proof whatsoever of doing so.

 

At the time of this writing, over 600 servers are running Adaptive Server Size. It's a Top Ten plugin by daily usage, and four of those top ten come bundled with Procon! Without those bundled plugins, it's Top Five! You've voted with your "feet" by using it, now vote with your wallets.

 

Why am I doing this now? Did falcontx put me up to this? Hell, no. I'm just ashamed, ashamed I'm telling you, that such great work hasn't had more recognition, financial or otherwise.

 

Don't be a dead-beat like me, donate today. I'd recommend $1 per server that has this plugin enabled. Post a reply if you've decided to man up and donate, past or present. The donation buttons are in the Plugin Description tab in Procon itself.

Thanks PapaCharlie9 and everyone else who has donated. It's much appreciated. I'm happy that my plugins are some of the most helpful and most used plugins out there! Thanks for your support!

 

P.S. The State Bird of Texas is the Mockingbird, not the Falcon. It's a shame, isn't it!

No update to the plugin is necessary. You just need to update your BF3.def file.

This is embarrassing but how do you do that?

No it's not an embarrassing question.

 

 

Nevertheless I still don't think it's a BF3.def file issue as I'm having the same CTF issues with the plugin and have disabled it on my CTF server. My BF3.def file is the latest version and I double-checked it's contents via ftp on the hosting layer.

 

Although the BF3.def file includes air superiority mode references I see no references in it to CTF. Maybe I'm overlooking them but this seems to be the issue.

 

Perhaps we're awaiting the Dice server-side patch release to address the "known" issues thus far with CTF ticket / timer rcon issues before a new procon-update is released. Honestly I don't know.

 

Anyways your BF3.def is located inside your Pron configs folder.

What do you mean by "the same CTF issues"? No one else has reported any problems with this plugin.

I've donated to him before but I will donate again now. I don't use UMM anymore but I do use Adapter size. Thanks for the reminder and all the hard work you guys do to make our lives easier!

Issue only seems to occur when #players drop below the show 32 threshold. Seems to adapt size properly at other thresholds.

 

Issue present only on CTF servers.

Ahh.. That doesn't make much sense. I'd need to see logs and such in order to diagnose the problem.

This has been happening to us for months now. Maybe it has something to do with having multiple servers ;/

Whatever you set the Maximum game mode Size to is what it will make your server when that game mode comes on. This is different from the Maximum Server Size setting at the top.

 

Set them all to 64 for a 64 slot server.

Yes, thanks for the tip, all game-modes including CTF are set to 64.

 

Not to sound like I'm unappreciative of the tip but I'm a professional web developer by trade and write code in my sleep, & have managed multiple servers via Procon since BF3's launch. There is a compatibility issue with the plugin running on CTF. It will be debugged & resolved soon enough. Until then I have it off on my CTF server.

 

Thanks.

Let me know what log I need to capture and I'd be happy to do so and forward it to you.

 

It's an awesome Plugin & yes I have and will continue to contribute to it as it has always served my community well.

Thanks.

If it helps, I can offer that for me there is no compatibility issue with Adaptive Server Size and CTF and it works as intended on my 64 slot servers. That's why I thought it might be the individual game mode settings for you.

 

Hopefully Falcon finds the issue and fixes this for you and others who have this issue.

Personally, I found 64 player CTF to be a super camp fest and not very fun. 40 seems about right. Still a lot of camping to the point where I now call the mode "Camp The Flag", but at least once and a while someone can score a point. With 64 we went round after round at 0 vs 0.

I have now seen a problem similar to those reported above (details below), but I can confirm that it is not caused by Adaptive Server Size. The problem happened even when I had the plugin disabled and typed in vars.maxPlayers values manually. It may be a game server bug related to CTF.

 

I have CTF set up for 40 max, 6 min, with +4 increments, so when there are 6 players on the server the max is supposed to be increased to 10.

 

However, this morning I saw that serverInfo was reporting 6 players and 6 max. I disabled the plugin and tried manually entering vars.maxPlayers values greater than 6, no change. I restarted the round, no change. The value for vars.maxPlayers was being returned correctly, whatever I last set it to, e.g. 10, but serverInfo continued to report 6 players, 6 max. I wasn't able to clear it without rebooting the game server and dumping out those poor 6 players.

 

I haven't scanned the logs to see what sequence of events lead to 6/6, but I'm pretty sure it's not Adaptive Server Size's fault.
