No. This plugin has to have all of the default starting values hardcoded, so it has to be updated every time something changes.

Only seeing in Plugin log (with in-plugin Debug enabled):

 

[21:35:57] AdaptiveTicketCount: INFO -> Round ended.

 

Console Log is attached.

 

Relevant settings:

- Using 'Default Ticket Count'

- "Percentage" units

Tix are: 133% , 166% (22 players), 200% (44 players).

 

There were 53 players at the time of the logging, and tickets were still at 133% (what the server booted with).

 

Hope that's the info you need!

I would actually need the logs from the layer server, not your local PRoCon. However, one guy who claims to have this problem has already given me access to his server, so I should be able to figure it out that way. I just haven't had time, yet. I'll try to get to it soon.

2) Again, I need the logs from your layer server, not your local client. Also, I need events enabled in the PRoCon console logs. This is not the same as the separate Events log.

I updated the plugin with the last version after uninstalling it, and it works fine now again.

I can't find any log on the layer server. I goes on it by ftp and didn't find any log.

1) Close Procon

2) Drag the "Plugins" folder (from the file attached to this thread) into the Procon folder

2.5) If you did it correctly, you should see "\Plugins\CAdaptiveTicketCount.inc" and

"\Plugins\BF3\CAdaptiveTicketCount.cs"

3) Start up Procon

4) Check the "Plugins" tab

Make it so that it's a simple thing of entering in player number ranges and that range has it's own setting. Then create another range and set that ticket setting and so on.

 

Example the admin could simply do

Range 1: 0-20 players = 300

Click button to add another range

Range 2: 21-40 players = 600

Click button to add another range

Range 3: 41-64 players = 1000

 

Or maybe do a thing at the top of each mode that asks for how many ranges to use. The admin enters in a number, in my example 3, and it goes from there. And the last mode the max player number is automatically set to 64. If they set the number of ranges to just 1 then the player numbers are auto set to 0 and 64 and only the ticket/percentage setting needs to be set.

You could even go so far as to auto fill in the ranges for the admins just as a default setting. So if they set the number of ranges they want to use to 2 then it'll auto fill in Range1 as 0-32 and Range2 as 33-64, 3 ranges 0-21, 22-42, 43-64 (or something like that) and so on. They can of course still change those ranges, these would just be a simple default example of what to do.

You already set a default value for the ticket/percentage setting for each line so of course you can keep that as well.

 

I hope that made some kind of sense.

 

It's just really painful to have to go to each game mode, along with the Default (just in case), and change 65 lines when a server plays mixed modes.

I can't remember if it's been suggested before, or not. It probably has. I do understand what you're asking, but as much of a pain as it is for you to set everything up, it would be even more of a pain for me to implement what you're asking for. In theory, it's a simple concept, but due to the way PRoCon's plugin option settings work, it would be a huge pain to do in a way that wasn't overly complicated. Generally, this is somewhat of a "set it and forget it" plugin, so once you experience the pain of setting it up, you shouldn't have to mess with it too much after that. So, unfortunately, I don't have plans to do this.

The issue has been reported, and the dev is aware of the issue.

Indeed. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that this will be resolved in the short term, as I'll be out of town for the next 2 weeks. What's odd is, I don't know why it works fine for some and not for others. Those are the worst kind of bugs.

If you need map specific settings, you should consider Ultimate Map Manager. I won't be adding it to this plugin.

any help fixing this would be awesome. i have no idea whats wrong

With UMM, there's no "adaptive" functionality to it.

True. Well, ATC is designed to either keep the default ticket ratios or specify the exact ticket count for all maps. Technically, it's possible to alter the calculation for a specific map by changing the hard-coded tables in the plugin, so you're welcome to give that a shot. The problem with map-specific settings in a plugin like this is that configuration would become a nightmare. After all, there are already 64 settings for each game mode plus the default. Adding maps would multiply that number by the number of maps in the game. We'd be talking thousands of options at that point..

the .def file? Was this since AK release? If so, can you maybe assist further.. I'm willing to attempt different fixes, within reason.

 

As for the plugin itself. Not sure if this is the same issue.. it was working until AK came out, but I've also update stuff to get votemap working. Not sure if this is related, but ADC hasn't worked since. Since I'm not the only one reporting, I'm sure it's not just me. I will patiently await a fix. Our clan loves using this plugin, as we run a 48 man server with ALL maps. So, this is extremely helpful while populating, then raising the count when it's full for smaller maps...or even large ones. Thanks.

 

As I said, I will patiently await some news of a fix.

Using actual tickets not percentage, however once it kicks over to conquest it's doing 400% resulting in a massive amount of tickets. Any way to fix this?

Depends on what's wrong. You didn't provide enough information. Please refer to this post:
