I don't see the round restart in the adaptive server.

If you set it to 0, you only see a preround when the server is getting reset.

When there is a pre-round and the server restarts the map to start the actual round, this plugin does not set the max server size.

So the round is getting restarted with, for example, 24 slots. Instead of the needed 64 slots.

 

When this happens only 24 players can join the server. From the 25th player and up to your server's max slots will see the black screen.

So, even if I have a 48 player server, I should still set this value to 0 in the config and the plugin should adaptive as needed?

Yes, because you don't have any pre-round any more after the first time; the server never switches to pre-round when there are less than 4 players in the server.

 

So, this problem then only exists when the server is freshly restarted.

 

But, can make the chance of having black screens even smaller when setting the slots / players to this:

See: my server scales back to 24 slots only when the 6th player is in the server. That's usually already after the pre-round has ended and the real round is loaded on 48 slots.

Thank you for that the only issue I'll have then, is it'll take a long time to pop. The server.

Black Loading Screen between rounds is not because of this plugin (apart from the pre-round issue). It's a bug in the server having to do with the maplist / maplist order.

 

When you change maps / set another map as next map often (for instance by using the votemap plugin) the Black Loading Screen bug will occur pretty often.

 

This is kinda confirmed by DarkLord here:

I stopped using the Votemap plugin and have zero black loading screens any more.

THe only black screens I get are from round end and next map takes a few minutes to load, but again that's also a server issue and must be patched, which is DICE's fault only.

Yeah, you're right. Ever since the R35 update, I get no black at start or in between rounds.

Have the mode at the bottom of the plugin where it says chainlink set to 64, server size set to 64. Round is starting at 64.

 

Soon as I enable it, sets it to 32 and people get kicked as a result.

[12:02:25 54] AdaptiveServerSize: IDLE -> 34 players online. 3 players joining. Server size set to 32. Round started at 64.

 

Any thoughts?

Make sure your BF4.def file is up-to-date.

Anything in particular I should be looking for in the DEF? I'm able to add the map/modes in procon so I assume it's up to date.

It's up-to-date on your computer, but not on your layer server. Upload the BF4.def from the PRoCon/Configs folder on your computer to your layer server, then restart everything.

Now the plugin is visible in Procon, but when i go to the settings tab, there is no info.

 

What I did since:

- Restarted procon layer for 100 times :smile:

- Deleted all server size files on the layer, reinstalled them

- Deleted procon on pc and reinstalled....

 

On our TDM with basic maps, the plugin still works, but no text in the settings tab.

Our Conquest Operation Locker goes to 32 players when activated, but no text in the settings tab.

Our Conquest New Maps goes to 32 players when activated, but no text in the settings tab.

 

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  • Our picks

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Added ability to disable the new API check for player country info


      Updated GeoIP database file


      Removed usage sending stats


      Added EZRCON ad banner



      If you are upgrading then you may need to add these two lines to your existing installation in the file procon.cfg. To enable these options just change False to True.

      procon.private.options.UseGeoIpFileOnly False
      procon.private.options.BlockRssFeedNews False

    • 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

    • 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.
