Adaptive Ticket Count (1.2.1.1 - 12/08/13)

Description

This plugin is intended to adjust the number of tickets based upon the number of players on the server just before the new maps is started (it checks right after the countdown on the stats screen finishes). The number of tickets can be specified as a percentage of the map default, or as an exact number (so that all maps will be the same).

 

This plugin can be used for any or all game modes. Each game mode can be enabled or disabled explicitly, and can use a default list of ticket counts or a list specifically for that game mode.

 

Commands

This plug-in has no in-game commands.

 

Settings

 

Adaptive Ticket Count

Enable for [Game Mode]?

Used to enable the plugin for the specified game mode. If "Use default ticket count" is chosen, the ticket count values from the default list will be used. If "Use game-mode-specific ticket count" is chosen, a new ticket count list will be added for this game mode.

 

Ticket percentage for disabled game modes

Ticket percentage to use on game modes for which the plugin is disabled.

 

Units used for ticket count

Choose whether you would prefer to specify the number of tickets as a percentage of the map default or as an exact number (so that all maps will be the same). On maps that start with a different number of tickets for each side (i.e. Back To Karkand maps), the specified ticket count will be applied to the side with the larger number of tickets.

 

Set preset after map loads?

[bF4 only] Optionally send a preset command after the round loads in order to show "Normal", "Hardcore", or "Infantry" in Battelog despite having a ticket count other than 100%.

 

[Game Mode] Ticket Count

[XXX] Tickets with [#] players

The percentage or number of tickets that will be set when X players are active on the server. There is a default list, as well as a list for each game mode that is configured to have it's own ticket ocunt list. If you don't run a 64-player server, just ignore the options above your max server size, as they will not be used.

 

Extras

Enable debug output?

If enabled, displays debug info in the console window.

Hope this helps people reading this. Though i presume you had this info in order to make the plugin falcon, good work again!

The "Percentage (default)" units option will work properly for all game modes.

No. It just sets non-Conquest maps to 100%.

It can. Just use "Actual number of tickets" for units and put the number you want (1200) in every "Tickets with [#] players" box. If every box has the same number, then the server will always keep that ticket count, regardless of the map and number of players.

Ahh. Well, it does take some effort, but you only have to set it up once. If you, or someone else, really wants that feature, send me a donation and I'll get it added in.

It depends on whether the plugin is installed on your local copy of PRoCon or on your layer server. If it's local, there's a Plugins tab, and if it's on a layer server, there's a Parent Layer Control tab with a Plugins sub-tab.

 

Once you're in there, click the name of the plugin, then the Plugin Settings tab.

You need to update to the latest version of PRoCon.

It's possible, but not a priority at the moment.

It's a known bug, usually caused by clicking the "Reload plugins" link in PRoCon. I'm releasing a new version today that will solve that problem.

SET "UNITS USED FOR TICKET COUNT" TO "ACTUAL NUMBER OF TICKETS" BEFORE YOU UPGRADE! If you don't, your ticket percentage will be multiplied by 3 when the new version loads. Once you have upgraded, you can leave it set on Percentage.

 

1.0.1.1 (12/19/2011)

- minor bug fix related to saving/restoring ticket values

- plugin will no longer send command to server if new ticket count is the same as last round
