FYI: Anyone else who wants to know.. I changed all the first settings of 8 to 16.. so our server starts at 16 and goes to 32, then 48 and finally 64.

 

Here is our server stats for anyone curious. Notice it used to always die out over night.. not last night. It only dropped down to about 30 players.. but since the plugin cut back the playerMax .. it stayed full. :P

Correct. The plugin doesn't automatically change maxplayers at the end of the round for me, nor does it change right after the new round starts which is kind of frustrating seeing is it may prevent connecting users from joining teams. I may have done something wrong though..

Right, but what didn't happen? I don't see anything out of the ordinary in the graph, except a possible server crash, which likely had nothing to do with the plugin.

In your server hosts cpanel.. what do you have the player slots set to?

The server did not crash, as the rounds did not end, in fact it all happened during a single round, the graph nicely shows your plugin refilling the server, but shows twice wat happens when the max player variable is applied incorrectly to a full server. I am not expecting you to fix it, hehe, just letting you know there is a miscellaneous problem. :S

Ohh. Yeah, that's odd. I'd need to see the debug output when this occurred in order to diagnose the problem. That said, wait until you start using the soon-to-be-released new version.

You need to install the latest version. You can set the max for each game size to whatever you want in the options.

*Update* Does not appear to cause the server to become unranked.

 

Looks like the min you can set it to is 4 though, that stinks.

Seems I get mixed results with that, console says 4, but the dialog gets bugged and still says 4 players are required after I join.

I can confirm this, though I didn't have 4 people to test to see if it starts at 4 or still waits until 5.

Haha, having the exact same problem. I really wish they'd let us move around, it's not easy to keep people captive long enough to fill up sometimes :/

Great.. i love documentations. :ohmy:

I'm glad that my tests in setting that var are okay, but i wasn't in-game.

 

Edit:

 

I moved the follow-up posts to around the changes on roundRestartPlayerCount

In what way do you think it affects the idle kicker? You mean maximum players? It's goes down to 8 intentionally, the whole point of this plugin is to actively change the server size in order to keep it closer to full.

So if I set this number to 24 no idle players will be kicked until there are 24 players on the server. This funktion is also meant to help filling the server. But if the number is reduced to 8 by the "adaptive server size" the idle kicker starts kicking when there are 8 people on the server,

Kinda mute now with the idle time stuck at 5 minutes.

I'm turning this plugin off for now. Too bad b/c it was one of the most useful ones developed!

Also, there is the option on Battlelog to search for servers with 1-5 or 6-10 free slots. With this plugin, you can try to get those people on to your server

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

      Prophet731,

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html
