ProconRulz is using variables called things like %myvariable% and if an edit gets fuxed up then there's a risk Procon converts the '%m' (or whatever) to something else. It only happens when something unusual has happened to the plugin settings edit but I'm sorry I don't know when.

 

Personally I either fix up the rulz again (at least the wierd chars are easily visible), but also I ALWAYS have a backup copy of the settings file 'Configs/.cfg' becuase a Procon or plugin fux up can quite easily trash this file for ALL plugins...

 

 

BAMBAM what is the problem causin this:

 

On Round;Set %server_sniperlimit% 3

On Spawn;if �ingsniper% == 1;Decr �ingsniper%;Decr %team_recontotal%;log we have %team_recontotal% snipers on team %pt%

On Spawn;Set �ingsniper% 0

On kill;Damage sniperRifle;

if %team_recontotal% == 3;if �ingsniper% == 0;PlayerYell Only 3 Snipers on each team, choose a different weapon!;Kill 5000

if �ingsniper% == 1;End;log %p% is still a sniper, %team_recontotal% snipers on team %pt%

incr %team_recontotal%;set �ingsniper% 1;log %p% is a sniper, %team_recontotal% snipers on team %pt%

On Leave;if �ingsniper% == 1;Decr %team_recontotal%

[15:54:17] (PlayerSay AthleticAnchovie) Killing Spree! AthleticAnchovie 5-KILL STREAK
[15:54:26] Dudenell ENDED AthleticAnchovie's 5-KILL STREAK with DAO-12 Striker Shotgun
[15:54:27] Dudenell ENDED mtresd's 6-KILL STREAK with DAO-12 Striker Shotgun
[15:54:39] fiddle50sym ENDED BabyFarkMcGeezak's 7-KILL STREAK with M416 Assault Rifle

hehe Dude - ProconRulz is generating this 'spam' purely because you have rulz saying you *do* want this spam in your chat...

 

Do you mean you want a way of looking in your chat log but *only* see the chat between players excluding the plugin-generated chat? I don't think Procon can be configured to show player-chat only, but if you're looking at the chat log in a text editor there's a useful technique you could know:

 

* get Notepad++ and use that to look at your chat logs

 

* find a line of user-chat, and select the ' > ' text after the player name (i.e. space-greaterthan-space)

 

* hit ctrl-C to copy the ' > '

 

* Use the Notepad++ 'TextFX' -> 'TextFX Viz' -> 'Hide lines without (Clipboard) text'

 

and hey presto, the text editor wil just display the user text lines. Incidentally, Notepad++ is good for the exact same technique but you have an exact PLAYERNAME on the clipboard - then all your ProconRulz spawn/kill/warning messages for a given player (e.g. a suspected hacker) will appear in a page with all the other stuff hidden.

 

Given that Procon is logging to the chat file in real-time, you can have Notepad++ look at the chat log directly, and not rely entirely on the Procon chat window...

 

This advice comes to you at a specially discounted price of $0.00.

RPG should not be allowed on Infantery but it should be allowed in Tanks.

Killing a person in a Tank should not be killed by Admin.

Is this possilbe?

And i make an yell if a player calls in for a admin with notifyme

 

On Say;Text !calladmin;PlayerYell You Requested an Admin, stand by and watch the chat

 

But yells only visible while living, so i try to set a delay in the rule or set a On Spawn to avoiding loosing the message on loadout screen. Like this

But this dosnt work. Any Solutions?

Ping is not transferred to PRoCon over Rcon from the game server for BF3. That is one of the functions we are still waiting for as well as kill coordinates and clan tags.

Why not just Yell and PlayerSay it at the same time. The dead person should be able to see the PlayerSay at some point and the alive person will see the Yell.

 

On Say;Text !calladmin;PlayerYell You Requested an Admin, stand by and watch the chat.;PlayerSay You Requested an Admin, stand by and watch the chat.

"the dead person should be able..." yes, they "should" but many of this players are just brainfucked.

So they calladmin and dont reaction until we kill them. And iam a bit sick of ppl with a disabled chat.

 

But its maybe easier to follow your advice befor trying to make an idiot proof system

basicly you can call it everything, but dont forget to change them all.

 

I personly had only problems with the rulz screwing on my TDM server, since im only using my Conquest i have seen the problem anymore. Maby its an other plugin that is causin the problem.

Yeah I haven't worked out what causes this glitch. I've never chosen any different variable names though as the glitch hasn't affected me for several months. I don't think it's actually random - I think there's something you can do somewhere in Procon which causes e.g. "%be" to get converted to "¾" in the settings file, probably something 'unusual' (like crash Procon or a plugin during a settings edit). Phogue is aware of some limitations in the way settings are stored in Procon 1 (including them passing through a url filter) but it's way too late to change it as that'll break a ton of existing addons (we had a discussion about it on the developers thread).

 

But if you really want to proof your rulz from this potential glitch I guess the idea of not using vars beginning %[0-9a-f] is actually a neat workaround - it's never bothered me though.

nah sorry marc but BF3 is NOT passing all the 'kill' information properly across the admin interface to Procon and the plugins so there's *nothing* any admin tool can do unless this changes. There are quite a few limitations in the 'kill' data transmitted, even though better information may still be displayed on screen. One example is exactly as you describe... it is the GAME SERVER that is transmitting kill data saying the kill was with an assault rifle (even though it was a nade, and even though the game server said it was a nade on the on-screen display). If Procon gets an event "marc1080 killed bambam with akaban" there is nothing Procon (or any other tool) can do but assume this data is correct. You *could* block all assault rifles that can carry an underslung nade launcher, and this would prevent the issue occuring, but that's fairly drastic.

Should be fine. If you want the joining player to see the Yell then you should do it on the first spawn of that player, not when they join, e.g.

 

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;Yell Welcome %p%

 

What do you mean two yells? Just copy your rule here so we can see.

 

For Yell to work properly with Bf3 your game server has to be at least R20 and ProconRulz at least version 38e.1 (2nd Apr 2012)

Why make a Rule here?

Just use the built in welcome Message, which also appears as a Yell Message.

 

Open the startup.txt and add this Line:

vars.serverMessage "Welcome Soldier"

 

This will be displayed once the Player spawns after he joined the Server.

The basic mechanism you are asking for does not exist in ProconRulz.

 

The only thing to consider is whether your requirement could be met by triggering actions on multiple successive events e.g. kills or spawns. For example, the most common request for a delay is to delay a message on a player join so that they can see it when they're in the game - actually in that case it is better to use an an "On Spawn;PlayerOnce;.." rule which will trigger the action when they first spawn, rather then the (not possible but wrong anyway) "On Join;Delay 10 seconds;..."

Thanks - it's possible - I'll consider it in future developments.

I have two Questions.

 

1.

I want to yell a message on time at the first Spawn.

So i tried something like On Spawn;Playerfirst or On Spawn;PlayerOnce but on every spawn the Message appears.

Know anyone where my mistake is?

 

2.

I want to yell the Kills and the Deaths of a Player with:

On Kill;Incr %kills[%p%]%

On Kill;Incr %deaths[%v%]%

On TeamKill;Incr %deaths[%p%]%

On Suicide;Incr %deaths[%p%]%

On Spawn;PlayerYell [%p%] - Kills: %kills[%p%]% Deaths: %deaths[%p%]%

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;set %kills[%p%]% 0

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;set %deaths[%p%]% 0

 

But when Someone kill Someone else the Deaths dont increase.

My Yell Messages are:

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;PlayerYell Type !Commands into the Chat to see your options

 

But on every new Spawn this Message appears.

I only want to Yell this Message only one time and not every Spawn again and again.

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;set %kills[%p%]% 0

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;set %deaths[%p%]% 0

 

But when Someone kill Someone else the Deaths dont increase.

1) I *think* that On TeamKill is when playerA teamkills playerB. I think you need to increase the deaths of the victim, not the deaths of the player.

 

2) You don't need to set the values on spawn to 0. When a player joins, those values are set at 0 automatically. Also, when a new round starts, those values are again automatically set to 0. I would remove those lines because they are unnecessary and may be causing a strang glitch of some sort.

 

Try this:

 

# Kills and Deaths announcer

On Kill;Incr %kills[%p%]%;Incr %deaths[%v%]%

On TeamKill;Incr %deaths[%v%]%

On Suicide;Incr %deaths[%p%]%

On Spawn;PlayerYell [%p%] - Kills: %kills[%p%]% Deaths: %deaths[%p%]%

 

 

Also remember that my most wanted rules use the %kills[%p%]% variable, so change the name to something else in one of them if you are using both rules, otherwise you will count up the value artificially fast.
