I'd be happy to provide this except the victim is, by definition, dead. Dead players do not see Yell messages.

 

You can give a Yell message to the dead player when they re-spawn:

 

On Kill;Set %server_yellmsg[%v%]% "Hey %v% you were killed by %p%"

On Spawn;If %server_yellmsg[%p%]% != 0;PlayerYell %server_yellmsg[%p%]%;Set %server_yellmsg[%p%]% 0

 

Example - If Pebbles kills Bambam:

 

The first rule: if Bambam is the victim, this sets a variable %server_yellmsg[bambam]% (%v% for this rule is Bambam) to "Hey Bambam you were killed by Pebbles"

 

The second rule: when Bambam next spawns, this On Spawn rule tests whether %server_yellmsg[bambam]% is non-zero (%p% for this rule is Bambam), and if so it PlayerYell's the value. (Note that un-assigned variables are ALL zero, so this does not need to be set up).

 

These two rulz make clever use of %v% (the victim) in the first On Kill rule, and %p% in the second On Spawn rule, to link an earlier victim to a later spawning player.

 

Simple but a powerful technique when you understand it.

i didn't thought on that but your suggestion was helpful to me. great, thank you again for your support!

 

have modified the punish rules but i need to try it first:

 

Code:

...
### Team Kill Notification Rules
On TeamKill;If %pcountrykey% != de;PlayerYell %p%: watch your fire! #%c%
On TeamKill;If %pcountrykey% == de;PlayerYell %p%: Pass auf wohin Du feuerst! #%c%
On TeamKill;If %vcountrykey% != de;Set %server_yellmsg[%v%]% "%v%: %p% team killed you - type !forgive or !punish"
On TeamKill;If %vcountrykey% == de;Set %server_yellmsg[%v%]% "%v%: %p% aus Deinem Team hat Dich getoetet - tippe !forgive oder !punish"
On Spawn;If %server_yellmsg[%p%]% != 0;PlayerYell %server_yellmsg[%p%]%;Set %server_yellmsg[%p%]% 0

I think teamkills is a really good use of the idea...

 

if you haven't seen them, ty_ger wrote some neat !forgive/!punish rulz in ProconRulz* if you're not already using them.

Since EvenBalance & DICE couldn't care less about hackers and the new stupid damage hacks, I created a few manual checks, but since punkbuster only kicks them for 5 minutes I need to have a way to track who gets kicked for these so I can manually ban them.

 

Any ideas ?

Aren't the players who are kicked by PB listed in your sv_viol.log file on your game server?

I put it in the ftp, in Plugins/Games/BF3 but it does'nt appear on Parent Layer Control. I also reboot the server and Procon console but I don't know what to do:

I made some research on forum, on Phogue, on google, on verygames's forum but I don't find it. I think ProconRulz.dll is missing but I'm not sure.

 

Could you help me?

 

P.S: Sorry for grammar or vocabulary, i'm not good in english, I'm french and I hope no information is missing

yes, absolutely -this is what ProconRulz is for.

 

In each rule, add "Map baz;" after each "On ;" statement.

 

E,g, if you have a rule

 

On Kill;Weapon Death;Teamsize 4;Say no vehicles on small teams;Kill

 

change it to

 

On Kill;Map baz;Weapon Death;Teamsize 4;Say no vehicles on small teams;Kill

 

The "Map" condition (and most others) can take multiple parameters separated by commas (no spaces) allowing ANY of those options. So for the rulz to apply to multiple maps (say Bazaar, Seine Crossing) use "Map baz,cross;". See online docs for full description of the Map condition.

See Example 9. All vehicle kills are "Weapon Death".

There's no 'Games' sub-folder. Should be Plugins\BF3\proconrulz.cs

 

You probably have that anyway, and a typo in your post.

 

You have to reload the plugins (it looks like you did that) - maybe you should just stop and restart procon.

 

When proconrulz.cs is found by Procon, then Procon will automatically create proconrulz.dll in the same folder. If this does not exist then post again here...

spot on cheers , I take it team size 4 is 4v4?

 

On Kill;Map baz,cross;Weapon Death;Teamsize 4;say %p% no vehicles allowed 8 players or below on this map please!!;Kill

"Teamsize X;" is a condition that succeeds if the smallest team has X or fewer players. It's actually more useful for most rules than the total # of players on the server (although all these values are available). Simply put, Teamsize 4 succeeds if teams are 4v4 or less, as you suggest. The subtlety is if the server is unbalanced, e.g. 6 v 4 - in most cases you would want to treat that the same as 4v4 if you're limiting vehicles (rather than 5v5 which the total 10 would suggest), i.e. you really mean don't use vehicles on a server if the smallest team is 4 or less and the Teamsize condition makes this easy.

If %targettext% == "";Log [^2%p%^0] ^8moechte %t% melden!^0;Exec admin.yell "%p% (%pcountrykey%) moechte %t% melden!" 30

!report

shows the player a short hint for usage

 

 

!report playerXYZ trolling

will write a message to log and yells a notification to the admins

 

 

Any suggestions for some cleanup or improvements?

EDIT:

 

I see there is something wrong with the yell command. This rules yells the messages to all players - that wasn't my purpose. I want to yell only the admin users. Guess it's not possible so I have to put one admin name into this rule, right?

 

Code:

...
On Say;Text !report;TargetPlayer;
If %targettext% != "";
+Log [^2%p%^0] ^8moechte %t% melden! Grund: %targettext%^0;
+Exec admin.yell "%p% (%pcountrykey%) moechte %t% wegen %targettext% melden!" 30 [b]player a928396[/b]

This is a part of my ruleset:

Code:

...
On Say;Text !report;TargetPlayer;
If %targettext% != "";Log "[^2%p%^0] ^8moechte %t% melden! Grund: %targettext%^0";Exec admin.yell "%p% (%pcountrykey%) moechte %t% wegen %targettext% melden!" 30 player vitaminb991
If %targettext% == "";Log "[^2%p%^0] ^8moechte %t% melden!^0";Exec admin.yell "%p% (%pcountrykey%) moechte %t% melden!" 30 player vitaminb991
### list admins
On Say;Text !admins,!admin,@admins,@admin;Say Admins: XYZ1, YXZ2, etc
...

So if I restart my server it will cut the ruleset:

Code:

...
On Say;Text !report;TargetPlayer;
If %targettext% != "\;Log

The rest of rules behind "!= "\;Log" are not loaded. In this line I want to check if the variable "targettext" is empty or not for sending a custom notification. Maybe it's possible to escape the quotation marks? It seems the use of two quotation marks side by side isn't currently supported.

 

If I copy all of my rules into the textbox it seems to work until I restart the gameserver/layer. Same Behavior on two different Hoster.

thanks - I've looked into this. I think the issue is with Procon in saving "" in the plugin settings. In the meantime there's a workaround, use something like "Set %server_xx% %targettext%xx", then you can test "If %server_xx% == xx" for an empy value of %targettext%.

 

I'll wok something out better.

My script:

Simple. A mortar kill is reported as "Weapon Death" - note that vehicle kills are reported by BF3 as Weapon Death also, so you CANNOT affect one without the other. You can debug scripts like this easily by logging events in the console, and taking a peek to see what happened when a mortar kill occurred. You can also have a simple rule "On Kill;Log %p% killed %v% with weapon %w% (weapon key %wk%)" and see what gets logged by ProconRulz.

Okey mate thanks for info but im little bit a newbie in procon and im trying to configure my server through trials and errors. Can U simple write me sentense about mortar which i can copy and put in to my procon please. I will be really grateful.

 

Ps: what sentense will be for admin informations like someone write !admin or !admins and he got in chat list of admins.

 

King Regards

You're not just a Procon/ProconRulz noobie - I think you're still learning about WTF a BF3 sends/receives during gameplay - there's no easy way to get up to speed quickly with that but the ProconRulz docs give an intro to the events a BF3 server sends and the interweb does have BF3 server documentation available that lists all the events and commands you can send. Procon is just a tool that allows you to listen to those and display info like the current list of players, and send commands via its console.

 

Adding Weapon Death to your rulz allows you to act on mortar kills:

 

##### WEAPON LIMITER #####

On Kill;Damage ProjectileExplosive;PlayerCount 2;Say M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!;Ban M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!

On Kill;Damage ProjectileExplosive;PlayerCount 1;Say M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!;Kick M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!

On Kill;Damage ProjectileExplosive;Say M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!;Kill M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!

 

On Kill;Weapon Death;PlayerCount 2;Say M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!;Ban M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!

On Kill;Weapon Death;PlayerCount 1;Say M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!;Kick M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!

On Kill;Weapon Death;Say M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!;Kill M320/RPG-7, SMAW and MORTAR are not allowed!

BUT!! If a player in a tank shoots and kills another player, BF3 will report that as Weapon Death also... so these rulz only work the way you want on an infantry-only server or map (e.g. Metro). You CANNOT block mortars on maps where you want to allow vehicles, because BF3 reports deaths from mortars and vehicles as the SAME weapon - if you don't understand this just say. The is a BF3 issue, nothing the plugin can change.

 

Also, it is not possible to limit M320 nades because BF3 does NOT report underslung nade kills properly - if the nade launcher is underslung an M416 rifle, BF3 reports the kills as an M416/AssaultRifle kill, just as if the victim had been shot. Blame DICE.
