Yeah, sometimes it can't get the exact number due to the math involved. The server only accepts a percentage of the default ticket number, so for example, if 8% is 48 tickets and 9% is 51 tickets, the plugin chooses the closest one.

No, when the round ends and the player count is still at 2. Then the next round will have 50 tickets.

Gotcha!! So, if 3 people start the server, and later 10 more join, it will only play at the tickets set for 3 people until the next round of course. See, I thought it changed as people joined. Cool, thanks!!

 

 

Donated!!!

As we all know, the domination rounds dont last long unless you make the ticket count around 400 but by doing so it raises all the other map ticket counts really high.

Yes, it can do that.

Thanks.

I've never heard of anything like that. In order to provide any assistance, I'll need more information. Please refer to the Support section of the first post.

Sorry, didn't see that section before I hope this will help. If not, just say what I have to do!

Btw. I deleted all AdaptiveTicketCount files from our ProCon Layer, including the plugin files (.inc and .cs), and also all the related plugin text in server_ip.cfg file. And then I installed the plugin again and set it all up, but no success. The tickets just doesn't change :/

 

1) Your plugin console log starting 2 minutes before and ending 2 minutes after the issue occured.

2) Your PRoCon console log WITH EVENTS ENABLED starting 2 minutes before and ending 2 minutes after the issue occured.

3) A complete list of your plugin settings (screenshot or relevant lines from your config file would be ideal)

http://pastebin.com/raw.php_i=dKBuy3iU

 

4) What version of the plugin you are running.

1.1.1.3

 

5) What version of PRoCon you are running.

1.3.0.0

Ah okay, sorry! Not entirely sure what parts of the files you need, but I think I found something.. Also, not sure what file you needed (only console log or any more, so I sent you them all from today). I have deleted a lot of lines from the files and just kept the (hopefully) important ones. Also, I just started plugin logging and did the same thing again on the server.

 

I will try to explain what I've done to test if it works:

1) Manually set GameMode Counter to 5% and restart the map in order to give the map a low number of tickets.

2) Enable AdaptiveTicketCount and set it to an actual number of tickets for the upcoming game mode, like 500 tickets.

3) Start capping some flags in the current game mode in order to complete the current map (with 5% tickets) and when the new map loads, it should have 500 tickets as I've set it up in the plugin. But it's still at 5% tickets.

 

This is how I tried to do test it all alone and fast, but maybe it won't work that way. But anyway, we have had the plugin running for some week(s) on our servers and it haven't worked even when the servers were full real full and we haven't done any manually GameMode Counter changes or something like that.

The weird thing is that it all worked perfectly before (like a month ago and all time before that) and then it stopped working. No idea why really :/ We have also tried to re-install one of our BF3 servers together with it's Procon Layer, but that didn't solve it.

I can see that the plugin is sending some commands in order to gather information, but it's seemingly not executing the all-important "CheckTickets" procedure that actually sets the ticket count, or perhaps it's failing for some reason. I just don't know why.

Actually, I don't really know what different I did other than re-installing it :/ It didn't work at first, but now after some maps it all started to work

 

I'm excited to see how it will work on the other servers tomorrow when we got players on them! Thanks for your help anyway, even if anything couldn't be done

Not sure that is correct. To turn on logging on my layer I have to edit procon/Configs/procon.cfg

 

From:-

Code:

procon.private.options.chatLogging False
procon.private.options.consoleLogging False
procon.private.options.eventsLogging False
procon.private.options.pluginLogging False

To:-

Code:

procon.private.options.chatLogging True
procon.private.options.consoleLogging True
procon.private.options.eventsLogging True
procon.private.options.pluginLogging True

Ah okay. Currently it's like this:

procon.protected.console.settings True False False True True True

 

So I'm changing it now to what you wrote (the second False -> True). Btw.. what do the third False do? What will happen if I set it to True (which will result in all of them being True).

I got all these as a GUI option, just using a drop-down menu selecting True or False, so they were all enabled already

You have these as a GUI option on your layer server? Most people don't, so they also have to edit these lines to enable the logging on the server.

I stand corrected

Indeed, I have to edit the files manually.

Ye, just the four settings he posted I got in our Layer GUI settings. But I had to edit the file manually to enable events in console log. This is how it looks like for me.

Thanks pretty good of them to do that. Who is your layer provider?

Using Fragnet both for the BF3 servers and for the PRoCon Layer. There's one layer per server, so each layer is directly connected to it's respective server, so it's kinda fast instead of having a separate Layer "outside" of the BF3 servers (we had it like that before).

Please send the information requested in the Support section of the first post. How to properly enable logging on your layer server has been discussed over the past couple of pages.

Tho, in order to make it a full "re-install" of the plugin, I think you also have to remove the lines from serverip_port.conf file that includes AdaptiveTicketCount. I don't know if this is needed tho, but I did it at least.

If it doesn't work to re-install the plugin, a full re-install of the Procon Layer should do it.
