And maybe even set another variable like if less than # of players VehiclesDisabled.

 

Example settings screen:

 

Adaptive QuickMatch Settings:

Enable adaptive QuickMatch settings? YES

Default round start player count: 4

Default round restart player count: 2

 

Adaptive Ticket Settings:

Enable adaptive Ticket settings? YES

 

Adaptive Vehicle Settings:

Enable adaptive Vehicle settings? YES

Enable vehicles when server reaches # of players: 10

 

Adaptive Server Size:

Enable adaptive server size? YES

On startup, assume round started at max server size? YES

Maximum server size: 64

 

Size with 0 players 8 Tickets 50%

Size with 1 players 8 Tickets 50%

Size with 2 players 8 Tickets 50%

Size with 3 players 8 Tickets 50%

Size with 4 players 8 Tickets 50%

Size with 5 players 8 Tickets 50%

Size with 6 players 16 Tickets 50%

Size with 7 players 16 Tickets 50%

Size with 8 players 16 Tickets 50%

Size with 9 players 16 Tickets 50%

Size with 10 players 16 Tickets 50%

Size with 11 players 16 Tickets 50%

Size with 12 players 32 Tickets 100%

Size with 13 players 32 Tickets 100%

Size with 14 players 32 Tickets 100%

Size with 15 players 32 Tickets 100%

.

.

.

Size with 35 players 48 Tickets 150%

Size with 36 players 48 Tickets 150%

Size with 37 players 48 Tickets 150%

Size with 38 players 48 Tickets 150%

.

.

.

Size with 50 players 64 Tickets 200%

Size with 51 players 64 Tickets 200%

Size with 52 players 64 Tickets 200%

Size with 53 players 64 Tickets 200%

Size with 54 players 64 Tickets 200%

 

 

and so on.. and have the "players" and the "tickets" be user adjustable settings with default ones there as a guidline.

Not sure if ticket size and vehicle disabled requires a server restart or map restart.. or how it will effect ranked vs unranked.. but this would be my idea.

 

This could be the best plugin EVER.. :P

Yes I would LOVE it if this plugin could do all that. This plugin would be untouchable and the best if it had all these extras which are extremely helpfull keeping the game fun and balanced.

 

It would be important to know if there are reprecussions to making changes to tickets/vehicles like whether or not server becomes unranked and also if any changes to these settings makes QM not possible or less likely to work.

Not sure if the increase in Ticket size requires a server restart or not though as the `vars.gameModeCounter` is set in our startup.txt. Someone will have to test if that can be altered in console whilst in a round.

It can be altered at any time, but it will not take effect until the next round starts.

 

It is on my to-do list, but I'm not sure if it will be integrated into this plugin. I think making it separate would be less confusing, overall.

Well, I've been reading through this thread and I really hope you can reconsider this:

 

yeah, i thought that you could fire it up with your new code implemented in onPlayerJoin. I know it it is not update when a player joins, but your logic is in serverInfo and the size of the server will only update if serverInfo is fired. Maybe you can move this logic out of onServerinfo and fire it up seperatly when a player joins and on serverInfo. Not sure how much this would change the code.

This could resolve the above stated issues and it should not have any negative effects on a server unless its running a crapload of plugins. I mean your plugin is so much more important than any other I know - I think it deserves to rely on serverInfo and listPlayers..

 

kind regards,

hagbard

You should have:

 

CAdaptiveServerSize.inc in the Plugins folder

 

and

 

CAdaptiveServerSize.cs & CAdaptiveServerSize.dll in the BF3 folder.

 

Make sure to restart your ProCon server and layer as well.

Just fyi :ohmy:

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nks

 

 

YES IT IS

 

PLEASE add this to the plugin!

 

copy maplist in buffer

mapList.clear

copymap in maplist

 

call it ...slot report debuger!!!

That should be set to NO.

 

So you have a 64 slot server and you were playing a smaller map, I believe when the round changes this plugin is supposed to set the server size to max and then scale it back to what ever settings you have for the number of players__?

This is a server-side bug that doesn't affect the actual number of players allowed in the game. It only affects what is displayed in PRoCon. Adding and removing maps is beyond the scope of this plugin. It should be created as a separate plugin or added to some other plugin that deals with maplists.

If you consistently use this plugin, that setting should be set to YES.

 

This setting only affects whether or not the plugin will expand the server beyond it's current size when the plugin is enabled (i.e. your layer server restarts). If you're always using this plugin, every round will have started at max size, so it's safe to put this at YES.

    • 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.

    • 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

      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.
