ProconRulz V44j1 - weapon limits and other event-triggered admin actions

Actually this gave me an idea... you know those guys who C4 everybody at spawn at the start of a round? On TeamKill;Rate 5 2;Ban spawn teamkill

 

Clay52 the free-form %xxxxx% variables are one of the things in the next (v37) version that I'm currently testing, not the currently released version (v34).

 

Waterboyeee I'm assuming that was using another plugin but my vote is for KILL actions to be used at least a couple of times before a kick or ban with ProconRulz, and this illustrates why. Even with a favourite weapon, most people stick with rules if they get slayed. E.g. it's confusing to a player using a rocket to get kicked immediately.

 

Hive Sorry, all vehicles in BF3 are currently reported as "Weapon Death" and "Damage None". VehicleLight, VehicleHeavy, VehicleAir are not usable in rulz for BF3. See BF3 limitations listed in 1st post in this thread. Otherwise your rule is correct.

 

Operator yes, it is easy to not have those log entries appear in your chat. Look at the rulz, and put a '#' as the first character in the front of the rulz that write those log messages (which will make them become comments instead of rulz) or you can just DELETE those rulz. By default, ProconRulz installs with some default rulz including a couple of 'do nothing' logging rulz that log every kill and every spawn, (I.e. On Spawn;Log... and On Kill;Log....) These become useful when you're not sure of the weapon (or damage) key used in a particular kill. The On Spawn messages (as above) are filled with [no kit key] [no weapon key] [no spec key] crapola at the moment, but that will spring to life if/when BF3 gets updated to deliver that data - when you see that you will immediately be able to use that in 'On Spawn' rulz (e.g. to limit the number of players spawning with a particular weapon).

 

If you're looking at the chat.log FILE with a text editor (as opposed to the chat window in Procon) I highly highly recommend the freeware Notepad++. This has a crucial feature where you can highlight a piece of text on any line in the file, and have Notepad++ just show you lines CONTAINING that string, or just lines WITHOUT that string. So you can highlight a player name and just show those lines (which gives you a transcript of everything just involving that player - great for checking hackers) or you can highlight say the phrase "spawned with" and HIDE those lines, so all the ProconRulz spawn log messages (temporarily) disappear. It's this technique that I use heavily and hence find all the log messages useful but appreciate they clutter the chat window. If I want to view just the actual player chat in the chat log, I highlight " > " and just view those lines.

Also i want them to be killed like 3 seconds after spawning with the M320

 

So i dont want to kick them after they first make a kill with it and i dont want to ban them either.

Just a simple kill!

So I've tried to explain the BF3 limitations, but still get questions like this:

does anyone know how to limit the snipers to 5 a side please

Answer: No BF3 admin tool can do this. Read the BF3 limitations above, especially #2. Instead all you can do is limit the number of kills by sniper weapons. But the next question I'll get is

does anyone know how to limit the rockets to 5 a side please

Answer: FFS what is it about the BF3 limitations you don't get? NO information is provided at spawn time about what weapons, kits, secializations, camoflage style, hair color, sexual orientation a player has spawned with. The only information is provided at KILL time, as in "Ross killed Monica with Weapon Hairspray"

It's only possible at kill events.

Since yesterday, i apply it on my knife and pistol server, it's working like a charm. Now, i want to apply it on my clan conquest server.

 

- Our server is a classical conquest and we want to get ride of rpg on infantry and grenade launcher.

 

No warning needed, just kicking people who use it on infantry. Can someone give me the codelines to put on my procon please?

 

Is it possible to kick (with Proconrulz) people who use tactical light?

 

- Is it possible on my knife and pistol server to kill then kick players using m93R and G18?

 

 

Thanks.

 

PS: sorry about my english.

On Kill;Map Subway;Damage ProjectileExplosive;PlayerCount 5;Log %p% banned for rockets on Metro;Ban %p% Metro rockets

On Kill;Map Subway;Damage ProjectileExplosive;PlayerCount 3;Log %p% kicked for rockets on Metro;Kick %p% Metro rockets

On Kill;Map Subway;Damage ProjectileExplosive;PlayerSay %p% no rockets on Metro;Kill 100

 

If yes do i need to modify it to this;

 

On Kill;Map Subway;Weapon M320;PlayerCount 1;Log %p% killed for M320 on Metro

On Kill;Map Subway;Weapon M320;PlayerSay %p% no M320 on Metro

 

Like i said im a noob at this so if it is still incorrect can someone wright me the rule so i can copy paste it?

And the teamkill one is rather nice

Thank you for the quick reply.

 

I was kinda under the impression that we had to keep all the "Kill;Log" lines....

 

And yes, I use Notepad++ ... Like it a lot!

 

Edit: Forgot to say that this plugin is really awesome

Looking at the following rules;

 

On Kill;PlayerCount 3;Weapon Death;Say %p% no vehicle or mortar kills, thats it, you are OUT;Kick

On Kill;PlayerCount 2;Weapon Death;Say %p% no vehicle or mortar kills, READ THE RULES AGAIN!;Kill

On Kill;PlayerCount 1;Weapon Death;Say %p% no vehicle or mortar kills!;Kill

 

This will KILL a person that is using the tank/mortar.

It will warn him again once hes dont it twice.

Then, it will KICK the person once this person has done this 3 times.

 

Correct ?

Pls see limitation #6 in the 1st post in this thread and see how it affects what you want.

See limitation #4 - Tactical light is an accessory/specialization BF3 doesn't provide data for these.

 

- Is it possible on my knife and pistol server to kill then kick players using m93R and G18?

Yes. Look up the Weapon key for those weapons, and use in the example in the 1st post in this thread

This is an art as much as a science - I think your rate is pretty close to what's best. I'd have the rule write a 'Log HACKER %p% aimbot' message as well and routinely scan the logs (I use freeware Notepad++ which can search multiple files). When you find a hacker has been autobanned via this rule, check their stats via BattleLog to see if you think it's a mistake and unban them. You have to accept the risk of false positives to trap the hackers but FYI this rule on my server caught maybe 20 hackers and all of them had a clear indication in their stats they were hacking.

bambam, I've recently had some complaints by some that using the LMGs on a clustered group of enemies activates this rule more often than not by mistake, I'm thinking about going 1 higher at least to say:

 

On Kill;Headshot;Rate 6 15;Log HACKER [%p%] aimbot;Ban %p% aimbot

 

what are your thoughts and is the above correct as written? Thank you and here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and HNY!

For BFBC2 we had a stack of several 'rates' rulz which worked well but it was trial and error getting the rates right and I never made those public, and we haven't put anti-hacker 'rates' rulz on our BF3 server yet (but we will).

 

The best thing to do is have the rulz LOG for a while (not Ban) and check the players that trigger the rulz as if they had been banned. You'll find out if you get false positives and can adjust the rate. It's the 'Headshot' condition for this particular rule that makes it quite a strong test. Without the Headshot you have to be careful, because of multi-kills from explosives.

Good info bambam, I think I will put the rate at 6 15 and work it from there and log as well. So here's my slightly augmented rule:

 

On Kill;Headshot;Rate 6 15;Log Aimbot Hacker [%p%];Ban %p% aimbot

 

btw just want to wish you and yours a merry Christmas and Happy NY, thanks for everything!

And I only wanted to use the the 870, pistol and knife and ban the rest, very cool.

 

 

 

 

It should be easy - what do you want to do? Ban those weapons or limit kills to just those weapons ? (I am guessing shotgun/handgun/knife only) Do you want to limit the server to ONLY that shotgun, handgun, or actually ANY shotgun/handgun is ok.

 

The rule will be basically: (if a kill is NOT with the weapons you allow, kill the killer. If the killer does this a few times, kick them)

 

On Kill;Not Weapon Weapons/weapon/knife;Not Weapon Melee;Not Weapon 870MCS;Not Weapon M1911;PlayerCount 2;Say %p% kicked for not using 870MCS/M1911;Kick pistol/shotgun only

On Kill;Not Weapon Weapons/Knife/Knife;Not Weapon Melee;Not Weapon 870MCS;Not Weapon M1911;Say %p% Only 870MCS, M1911, knife allowed;Kill

 

If this is what you want, how about you add this as a post on the forum rather than keeping it private?

cheers - Bambam

 

 

I got logged in thank you . But I have been looking for a set of good configs for a shotgun 870ms / 1911 handgun / knife I have been try to use the the rulz but with my limited experience I am having trouble - If you could or have time to point me in the right direction.

 

Thank you very much

True, but setting the server to Hardcore AND Infantry only will default to Custom and not hardcore as it is now..

 

But just to clear up, this rule is okay huh ?

_ddonut? Your rulz look fine on a first glance. You're getting the PlayerCounts slightly high - "PlayerCount X" means "PlayerCount for this rule is MORE than X" so for the second kill you'd use "PlayerCount 1" (not PlayerCount 2). You can duplicate these rulz for Weapon RPG-7, or just use "Damage ProjectileExplosive" instead of "Weapon SMAW" if you're happy all weapons with that damage being included...

 

Hizorix as you're totally new to this just use the TeamKill rulz from Example 4 in the first post of this thread, and run with that for a few days as you get the idea of what the plugin is capable of. You'll need to read the first post of this thread fairly carefully before you add more rulz. A claymore weapon limitation will be easy (see Example 1), Mortars are complicated because of BF3 limitations. All the weapon keys are in the ProconRulz details page. Install the plugin and control ONE thing (e.g. teamkills) first. Then you can add other things, but don't over-complicate it early on. You can alway use "Log" actions instead of kicking and banning people all over the place at first - review the chat log and see what would have happened.

 

HAPPY XMAS ALL
