Something like...

On Kill;Weapon Death;Say %p% No vehicles allowed on this server!;Kill 0

 

Is there a better way to write this rule or is that the only way?

 

I ask because this also kills mortar users as well.

Replace say for yell. Replace playersay for playeryell.

 

Only time you shouldn't use playeryell or yell is when punishing a player since a dead player can't see a yell message.

This is predominantly a PROCON setting... in Procon options (Tools... Options... first page) you have a set of checkboxes for logging each of the main tab/windows, i.e. you can log chat, the console, and what's written to the 'plugin console'. The logs get written to a sub-folder of Procon called Logs, in a sub-folder of your servername.

 

If you use the ProconRulz 'Log' action, it will write the message to the Procon 'chat window', but NOT chat in-game, and that text will also get written to the Procon chat log (in the Logs/ folder as _chat.log). It makes sense to use log messages with useful data in them e.g. On Kill;Log %p% killed %v% with %w%, kill #%c%, %h%

 

The logs are plain text. Notepad++ (it's a replacement for Windows Notepad) is particularly GOOD at reviewing the log files because of the TextFX plugin (find it on google/sourceforge - it's an easy install with just 1 dll to add to Notepad++). With Notepad++/TextFX you can highlight any bit of text (i.e. especially a player name in the log) and then click a menu option "show only lines containing this text" - if you do this with a player name in effect you see only log records anything to do with that player. Combined with ProconRulz logging kills and warnings to the chat log, this means you see a history of the player on your server. Notepad++ can also search *all* your log files for a string, so you can quickly see if the same player has been dicking your server over on multiple days.

 

Trust me, this is the leet way to make/look at server logs.

It should be fine, but instead of getting fancy with the Exec action, why don't you use the Yell action as nomal_?

As far as I can tell, ProconRulz is already 100% compatible with the latest (R24) update. If you want a rule for one of the new weapons you need to know the weapon key. E.g. "SCAR-L" ?

 

A Procon update will be needed for the weapons to be properly listed in the ProconRulz details, and have the 'Damage' type for the weapon correctly assigned, and in the meantime ProconRulz will give you a 'warning' if you use the weapon in a rule but ProconRulz cannot find the definition in Procon. But the rule will work fine *if* you got the weapon key right...

Sorry I meant that all the messages show up in my procon chat logging screen, when I am not in the server I like to monitor the chat but it gets filled up with these messages

[12:08:51] ProconRulz: [u.S Army] Sscoundrel spawned with [No kit key], [No weapon key], [No spec key]

[12:08:54] ProconRulz: Kill [Russian Army] [Nyel86] killed [u.S Army] [sscoundrel] with [M4A1] [M4A1 Carbine], Kit [No kit key] [No kit], Damage [sMG]

[12:08:56] ProconRulz: [Russian Army] Skyrott spawned with [No kit key], [No weapon key], [No spec key]

[12:08:57] ProconRulz: [u.S Army] dparks577 spawned with [No kit key], [No weapon key], [No spec key]

Is there a setting that will stop all those messages, or lower the frequency?

In the chat options I have unchecked the Display join/leave and Display kills/deaths but it still shows them.

what normal yell action?

 

my rule was to bypass the procon yell. So our admins can yell rnd text ingame without switching in procon.

like i said in my second response to this question, remove the ';Log whatever' commands from the rules you don't want to show up in the chat log.

Lol,

 

just have a rule On Say;Text !yell;Yell 5 %targettext%

 

This uses the ProconRulz Yell action, which will yell into your game server by itself sending the 'admin.yell' command into the rcon interface of your game server (but you don't really need to know how it works, just use it).

 

If you look at the list of available actions in the ProconRulz online documentation (see link in my sig), you will see as well as the typical Kill/Kick/Ban these also include Say,PlayerSay,TeamSay,Yell,PlayerYell,TeamYell and Log

 

So you can use a command such as On Kill;Weapon SMAW;Yell %p% used the SMAW;Kill 1000;Log %p% slayed for SMAW

 

That rule will check each Kill (On Kill), see if the weapon used was a SMAW rocket (Weapon SMAW), and if so it will yell a message such as "Angry_AGAIN used the SMAW" (Yell), then it will kill player Angry_Again (Kill) and then it will write a message to the Procon chat log "Angry_AGAIN slayed for SMAW" (Log).

 

 

So to cjffly's question ("will something bad happen if you delete the Log actions) - any of these actions (Yell, Kill, Log) can be deleted from the rule and the only impact is that action will no longer happen. E.g. so you can remove the 'Log' action, and the "%p% slayed for SMAW" messages will no longer be put in the log. This is not the same as deleting the whole rule...

i got no clue why but on some of our servers it works with my origianal rule and on others not.

 

All my yell rules working fine but my ingame yell bypass does things...

 

Btw thanks for explain me the basic funktions but i just missunderstood you.

 

EDIT:

 

Omg i found the issue.

 

Layer Server Restart seems to fix the problem.

I think our hoster installed the R23 but dont restart the layer server

Ah, happy news all round then ...

 

FYI these are the new weapon keys found so far with the R24 update, a Procon update will add them to your bf3.def when Close Quarters is made available. Credit EBastard and others:

 

steyr aug --> Aug A3 Assault Rifle (Assault Class)

weapons/xp2_acr/acr --> ACW-R Light Machine Gun (Engineer Class)

knife_razorblade --> BF Premium Knife (All Classes)

weapons/xp2_l86/l86 --> L86A2 (Support Class)

spas-12 --> SPAS-12 Shotgun (All Classes)

m417 --> M417 (Recon Class)

scar-l --> Scar-L (Assault Class)

lsat --> LSAT (Support Class)

weapons/xp2_mtar/mtar --> MTAR-21 (Engineer Class)

(key unknown so far) - JNG-90 (Recon Class)

(key unknown so far) - M5K (All Classes)

procon.protected.weapons.add None "Suicide" Primary Suicide

procon.protected.weapons.add None "DamageArea" Primary Suicide

procon.protected.weapons.add None "SoldierCollision" Primary Suicide

 

re the first one, I *think* BF3 has CHANGED the weapon key from Weapons/M416/M416 to M416 - I certainly have log entries from yesterday full of M416 codes but I can find the longer key in earlier entries. Safest thing would be to have both entries in BF3.def..

 

Many thanks to EBastard and others that did the research so far..
