are you using the unstacking features?

I retried the plugin, and it is working. the problem is the numbers used in multibalancer settings need to be tweaked in order for it to kick in at the lower population.

After installing this plugin, multibalancer no longer functioned and I had it installed prior.

 

I do run with the "conquest classics" experience preset. I dont know if that somehow may be causing grief or not.

Set max server size to 64, not 70. If you set the size larger than what your server is capable of, it will keep reloading. I'm going to release an update soon that changes the max size back to 64.

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?

 

Our Fragnet server is running on Procon 1.4.1.2

I'm having the same issue with both my servers.

Are you also using Fragnet?

 

It appears that they are not using a properly updated version of PRoCon. Either it's not updated at all, or the binaries are updated and the BF4.def file is missing. You would have similar problems using Ultimate Map Manager, should you try to use it.

 

I believe the solution is to either get them to fix it, or if you have access to the Configs folder, upload a copy of BF4.def from your local copy of PRoCon into the Configs folder on the layer server. If you do this, stop the layer server, upload the file, then restart it.

I am indeed using Fragnet

 

After uploading the BF4.def it works perfect, thank you very much!

Seems the following error is associated with the plugin failure.

Setting the max players in the plugin to more than the actual capability of your server will cause the reload issue.

 

I don't know about the second one. Would need a proper bug report.

On map change. It's currently at 13/24 and changing to Conquest Large, Railway.

 

It's cycled the maps 3 times. Luckily no DC's this time.

That's still not helpful. I don't think this has anything to do with this plugin, but if you think that it does and you want me to look into it, you need to submit a proper bug report. See here:

It clearly says, "Waiting for round to end," which means that it will increase the server size when the round ends.

My plugin isn't increasing the server size, what have I done wrong? Max TDM Size is 16 however I have a 64 player server? I try to edit the 16 to show 64 but the setting will not save and reverts back to 16.. I am missing something in the equation..

You mean, at the bottom of the config settings, when you try to change the Max TDM size, it will not allow you to change it? Are you using the latest version? I just tested it and I have no problem changing any of the settings.

Servers that are "almost full" have a tendency to gain players faster than servers that are "mostly empty".

so i wonder if this, based on other admins experience, will help my server gain some population.

 

im afraid most people (because of the map i have set) select 64 server slots to be displayed in their battle log to narrow down the results. i mean there are literally so many servers displayed when you display all servers.

 

i have noticed though some big servers use this plug in but they also have a huge fan base that supports them so its not safe to address it to the plugin.

 

anywho anything bit helps =) id like to hear some more opinions before installing this.

 

 

 

EDIT: oh well just installed it =)

 

quick question, the server size changes only when a new round starts/ends? or when people are leaving/joining? i use high tickets on my server and rounds last 30-40 minutes so it would kinda hurt me to have the add on increase the number in every round.

 

thanks in advance for any reply.

 

 

EDIT 2: nvm just testing it and it works like a charm =)

server got full up quickly. dont know if it is the plugin or the fact that the battlelog was down. the upcoming days will show me whats what :biggrin:

 

will donate for sure =) thanks

      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.

    • 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

    • Procon Version 1.5.3.4 Released

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
