v44 introduced the new feature of reading rules from external files.

Unfortunately the author did not anticipate people trying this on Linux.

The following patch fixes that - @bambam: please apply

That is freakin great. I'm a linux user but not for proconrulz... I will apply this patch and update ProconRulz immediately.

 

thanks.

* Support for Linux procon servers for external .txt rulz files (credit FritzE)

* Updated SNIPER LIMIT (!snipers, !sniperx, !setsniper) rulz with additional !setsniper command (admins only) so admins can allocate sniper slots to any player. Usage "!setsniper ", e.g. "!setsniper bam". Command uses ProconRulz TargetPlayer condition that will match ANY SINGLE PLAYER that contains the substring (e.g. bambam_ofc). If the command finds NO player with that substring, or if it finds MULTIPLE players, then command does nothing. This is a better matching technique that anything else, trust me...

On Round;Set %kl% 2;Set %tb% 4;Set %pb% 6;Set %tbt% 600

 

These should probably be %server_kl%, %server_tb% etc. Because later on On kill; If... %pb%;.. is referring to a *per-player* variable called %pb%, and On Round doesn't have those. It's a complicated topic but see docs.

Ahh thanks for that.. i did notice some strange things happening when i finally got around to testing the script.. ill change it.. not that half of that is needed any more..

 

with the procon 1.4.1.3 update its easy to see DMR's as a weapon group pretty much means i can get rid of most of that extra rule stuff anyway.. tho it was interesting to learn that stuff i may have a use for it yet 8)

Is it possible to reset spawn count between maps so I can display a message to players when they spawn for the first time on a certain map.

 

To give it some context

 

On Spawn;map MP_Prison;PlayerOnce;PlayerSay Blah!

 

This will work file but once the map rotation eventually hits the same map - any player who has never left between the two points will not receive the message. This is required because there are certain rules being enforced depending on the map in use.

 

Actually I don't suppose

 

replacing

On Spawn;map MP_Prison;PlayerOnce;PlayerSay Blah!

 

with

On Spawn;PlayerOnce;map MP_Prison;PlayerSay Blah!

 

will make a difference?

Relax you're ALMOST fine with the rulz as above. Just use "PlayerFirst" instead of "PlayerOnce", that does exactly what you want. It will succeed the first time each player spawns each round...

First thing to check is what weapon key is provided from the server when a player is killed with the M224 mortar. You do that by enabling logging of the console in Procon, and searching for an OnKill event that you *know* was caused by a mortar. Also you can browse through Procon/Configs/BF4.def in case you recognise it in there.

 

I'm guessing the mortar in BF4 is bundled in with ALL vehicle kills and reported as a weapon called "Death", just like BF3.

 

So you're a bit fucked because you CANNOT distinguish between vehicle kills and mortar kills - this isn't a ProconRulz limitation, it's a fundamental fuckup of the BF4 server kill events for vehicles (and mortar). All you can do is:

 

On Kill;Weapon Death;Say No mortar or vehicle kills (%p% will be slayed);Kill

 

And that rule will auto-slay every player that kills with the mortar OR a vehicle. So as with Metro, this would work on a non-vehicle map like Hurt Locker (credit [OFc] Para), but not maps with tanks, choppers or boats.

The guy paying for the server im writing the scripts for doesnt want to use procon and edit the rules file list to change them.. so im planning on making a rather large script to enable disable the use of just about any combination of weapons in game (will start with just weapon groups to begin with and see if he is happy with that..)

Why don't you just use procon and put in there instead? Is bambam going to disable the rules in procon?

There isn't a set limit to the number of rulz you can have in external files.

 

If you're developing rulz, the best way is get your *own* instance of Procon and connect it to mr guy-paying-for-the-server's with that as a 'layer server' (i.e. a kind of proxy for the server rcon messages). Just start up, connect, and stop your local instance of Procon+ProconRulz while you're developing/testing your rulz. Use lots of 'Log' actions to see what your rulz are actually doing, and turn on your local Procon logging of the plugin console to a file. A develop/debug cycle for rulz on a single file on a server will be too inflexible to make much real progress - even a one-page rulz file can have quite complex logic in it because it can do a hell of a lot more than the same number of lines of, say, C# code.

 

Remember a broken rule such as On Spawn;Kill will empty your server very quickly.

.

nvm i think i worked out what you are saying.. and nooo.. i cant just use the rules section.. im already sitting at 176 rules.. could easily go over 600 once im done just needed to know if there was an upper limit using rules in .txt files.

 

My aim is to be able to dis/enable every weapon in game with commands.. have an auto generated rules listing of what is allowed and possible automatic server name changing.

 

Possible map management aswell (i have some base stuff set out already) being able to set server vars with ingame commands just some premade stuff.. our server doesnt like the killcam and allows minimap in hc etc ..

 

we run some pretty funky stuff at times.. Pistol and knife only Rush games are quite interesting but some maps you require vehicles so i have it turn them on for those (Paracel Storm, Hainan resort need for the first set but none of the others)

 

i have some very big plans as per why i was asking on the limit

This is exactly what i am already doing and even better i own the procon layer server itself as well (its my living room TV server box that never gets shut down my development machine is also running Procon for easy testing

 

i had a question about adding strings.. but i worked out the issue.. im thinking like a C++/C# programmer too much

Not for damage i believe... on kills yeah for sure

On Kill;Weapon U_Flashbang;Kill 100;PlayerSay you have killed with a flashbang and now you die!!!

 

from my understanding we dont get information on players being damaged.. so there is no event trigger for On Damage for example.. i could be wrong. if there was a Trigger for On Damage then yep for sure you could check for flashbang damage then.. but sadly i dont think that will ever happen now... can still hope tho right

 

since there is a On Kill its easy to find out if the last bit of damage was from a Flashbang but yep as far as i know thats the only way to check

 

on another note you can Check for Damage type Impact for M320 FB but not on the grenade type.. i assume thats a bug.

it looks like you have tried to put Rules directly into the rulz .txt files box.. thats not where they go try the box above that one its just called Rules

 

the rulez .txt filenames is just a list of files that proconrulz can load rules information from.. so instead of coping the contents of the .txt into that box you just put the file in the plugins/bf4 folder and then in the proconrulz rulz .txt filenames you put the name of the file in there.

from what ive read of these forums we lost the ability to check Kit details on spawn since Bf3.. doesnt exist in Bf4 either and as such there would be no way to stop people using them as such.. unless you sit and monitor the server constantly and ban people that use them.. eventually they will stop or you'd have no players left.

Hi LjMjollnir

Are you sure the Script (or Procon or Dice) nows the difference between DMRs and SniperRifles. I got this script running (found in this forum somewhere) and it will not keep players from using DMR. Did you test it?

 

Code:

On Kill;Not Damage SniperRifle;Not Damage Handgun;PlayerCount 5;Log %p%banned (snipers / pistols only);Ban %p% snipers only
On Kill;Not Damage SniperRifle;Not Damage Handgun;PlayerCount 3;Log %p% kicked (snipers / pistols only);Kick %p% snipers only
On Kill;Not Damage SniperRifle;Not Damage Handgun;PlayerSay %p% snipers/pistols only;Kill 100

BTW... is it possible to set the ServerName and others vars.xxx via ProconRulz?

 

Regards

Good point - the latest update to Procon splits bolt-action sniper rifles and semi-automatic designated marksman rifles into two separate damage types (SniperRifle and DMR respectively). So any test for "Damage SniperRifle" will only succeed for the bolt-action rifles. I wonder if I should create sniper+dmr limit rulz?

 

BTW... is it possible to set the ServerName and others vars.xxx via ProconRulz?

Use the "Exec" action with whatever the admin command needs to be as per:

i did and if you check back a couple of pages (page 322) you will see the script... it does have an error in it which BamBam commented on you'l just need to patch it up.. simple quick fix.. just need to change the %kl% %tb% %pb% %tbt% to %server_kl% %server_tb% etc... i actually went with %ini_limit_tb% with the new script so i didnt need to set them each round since it will read them from an ini file makes it a bit easier

 

On Kill;Damage DMR;PlayerSay stoping using DMRs !!!! should work you can adapt that to your needs im sure

 

and yes you can change the Servername via a rule

 

my original weapon scripts had a !rename built in so if i enabled one i could just type !rename and the name would be changed to suit.. however since im using the new one i havent setup an auto way (yet)..

 

i do use this handy rule thoCode:

On Say;Admin;Text !name;Exec vars.serverName %targettext%;PlayerSay Server name changed to %targettext%

changes the server name to anything you have after the !name

eg.

!name my server is the best server ever

Server name changed to my server is the best server ever

 

and you dont need to restart the server for the name to take effect.. its instant

thanks - that did it... exactly what I wanted... I'm experimenting now with the vars.Gamemodecounter - I presume it will only be valid when round has changed.

 

EDIT: does not work - have to write it into a variable and then use it with the "On Round"

 

Code:

On Say;Admin;Text !ticketprozent;Exec vars.gameModeCounter %targettext%;PlayerSay Ticket-Prozent gesetzt auf %targettext% (valid in next Round)

Chat you type in the Procon console doesn't trigger the same events as when in game, so it's a bit tricky. If it helps I have a 'debug' workaround in procon chat to treat the chat as 'normal'. Type:

 

prdebug xsay

 

e.g.

 

prdebug xsay @warn fred

 

then "@warn fred" will be treated as 'normal chat' by proconrulz.

 

It's a bit of a handful but it's a necessary workaround. The special treatment of chat that comes from the server (as in admin chat into the procon chat window) prevents bad rulz making ProconRulz get stuck in an infinite loop for example if someone wrote !rules output that contained the string !rules which immediately triggered the same rulz again... in 5000+ posts you're the first person that's asked for this.
