It depends on how you define admins. So first:

 

WISH LIST REQUEST: Please add an admins list, similar to the player's whitelist, with similar access/test functions.

 

Until that is available, if you use the existing player's whitelist as your admins list, your second_check would look something like this:

 

Code:

( (limit.ActivationsTotal(player.Name) == 1) && plugin.isInPlayerWhitelist(player.Name) )

Note: I haven't tested this, so not absolutely sure it would work.

It's possible, only limitation is that if the M320 is attached to the weapon (underslug), it won't register as M320.

 

This limit will warn the player on first Suicide, and Kick him on second. It will also send a global message to server saying that he was kicked.

 

Set limit to evaluate OnSuicide, and set action to None

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(RPG|SMAW|M320)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success

Set second_check to this Code:

 

Code:

double count = limit.Activations(player.Name);
	
	if (count == 1)
	    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, do not suicide with %w_n%, next time kick!"));
	else if (count == 2)
	{
            plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, was kicked for suiciding with %w_n%!"));
            plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("Kicked for suiciding with %w_n%!"));
	}

	return false;

When you paste the Code part into the second_check field, make sure to click on the down-arrow, on the field, so that it expands and allows you to paste multi-line.

Set limit to evaluate OnKill, set action to Say

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.CompareTo(TimeSpan.FromHours(7)) > 0 && DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.CompareTo(TimeSpan.FromHours(8)) < 0

Set second_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

limit.Activations() == 1

Set these action specific parameters:

 

Code:

say_audience = All
        say_message = Good morning everyone, the time is %time%!

This example depends, on the Time-Zone of the computer (layer) where the plugin is running. If that turns to be a problem, you should adjust the 7 AM, and 8 AM values to account for Time-Zones.

 

Also, the hours should be put in military time. 1 PM = 13, 2 PM = 14, etc ...

I don't think he meant it that way. I think he meant that the first time you've got a kill with it, you're gonna be killed (like !kill) and the second time you'll get a kick or ban.

hehe ok, well, it was a bit strange to me ... but I did not want to over-analyze it. I thought he may have wanted to discourage people using projectile explosives at very close range (hence the suicide) ... just have to change the event to be OnKill instead.

Set limit to evaluate OnAnyChat, and action to None,

 

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

	List<String> bad_words = new List<String>();
	
	bad_words.Add("word1");

	    foreach(String bad_word in bad_words)
		    if (Regex.Match(chat_word, "^"+bad_word+"$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
			{
                            plugin.ConsoleWarn(plugin.R("Kicked %p_n% for saying "+bad_word));
                            plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("Kicking %p_n% for profanity!"));
			    plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("%p_n%, kicked for saying "+bad_word+"!"));
			}	
			
	return false;

You may add as many words as you want to the bad-words list, or even use Regular Expressions to match multiple spellings of the same word.

How can I set this to "KILL with warning" on first time player uses a bad word and then Kick if said player repeats offense?

    else if (count == 2)
    {
        plugin.KillPlayer(player.Name);
        plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, plugin.R("%p_n%, this is your %p_x_th% profanity warning, next time you are out!"));
    }
    else if (count == 3)
    {
       plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("%p_n%, kicked you for excessive profanity!"));
       plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n% was kicked for excessive profanity"));
    }
    
    return false;

You can modify this example to perform different actions depending on the count. But, once the player is kicked, and leaves the server, the count values are reset back to 0. It will not remember the player after he has left.

 

There is a plugin called Watchdog that works with BF3, which is able to remember a player if he comes back after being kicked.

That was it indeed but figured out the Onkill myself.

 

Thx for the great support btw.

Yeah, Regular Expressions are not very easy to understand at first. Once you get the hang of the core concepts, it becomes at bit easier. I will explain a few things:

 

 

1. Operators + * ?

 

 

+ Plus(+) applies to whatever letter is behind it. It means, whatever letter is behind, can be repeated one or more times.

 

* Asterisk(*) applies to whatever letter is behind it. I means, whatever letter is behind, can be repeated zero or more times

 

? Interrogation(_) applies to whatever letter is behind it. It means, whatever letter is behind is optional, appear zero or one time.

 

 

2. Character classes

 

A character class is a group or range of letters. You specify a character class using square brackets like this.

 

[a-z] This means letters A to Z are allowed

[0-9] This means numbers 0-9 are allowed

[ab12] This means only letters A, B and numbers 1,2 are allowed.

 

You can also negate a character class like this:

 

[^a-z] This means none of the A to Z letters are allowed

 

You can also apply operators to character classes like this

 

[0-9]+ This means one or more digits (between 0-9) are allowed

[o0]+ This means one or more of these "o", "0" is allowed

 

3. Groups

 

 

A group is specified inside parenthesis. You can use group to specify multiple options like this:

 

(word1|word2|word3) This would allow any of the 3 words to appear

 

You can also apply operators to groups like this

 

fag(ot)? This would allow the ending "ot" to be optional, so "fag", and "fagot" would both match.

 

 

Having given you this explanation, let me know give you some examples for "nigger", "faggot", and "negro".

 

Code:

// this matches nigger, n1g3r, nig3, etc

bad_words.Add(@"n+[1i]+g+[3ea]+r*");   

// this matches faggot, f4g0t, fagat, etc

bad_words.Add(@"f+[a4]+g+[ao0]+t*");

// this matches fag, f4g, fagggg, fa4g, etc.

bad_words.Add(@"f+[a4]+g+");

Change XXX to the Ticket % you want on your server (100% default)

Code:

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "XXX");

To add other map modes use the following code:

Code:

else if(server.NextGamemode == "GAME MODE HERE")
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "XXX");
    }

For multiple modes with same ticket ratio you can use this. Make sure to use | to separate each game mode.

Code:

if(Regex.Match(server.NextGamemode, "(GAME MODE 1|GAME MODE 2|GAME MODE 3)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "XXX");
    }

Next Gamemode Ticket Changer

 

Set Evaluation to OnKill

 

first_check to Expression

Code:

(true)

second_check to Code

Code:

if(limit.Activations() == 1)
{
    if(Regex.Match(server.NextGamemode, "(ConquestLarge0|ConquestSmall0|ConquestSmall1)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "150");
    }
    else if(server.NextGamemode == "RushLarge0")
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "100");
    }
    else if(server.NextGamemode == "TeamDeathMatch0")
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "100");
    }
    
    plugin.ConsoleWrite("Next map mode is "+server.NextGamemode+". Tickets set for next map");
}
return false;

---

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can also set ticket % based on map and gamemode by adding before the first gamemode check (Change MP_001 and RushLarge0 to what map and gamemode you want)

Code:

if(server.NextMapFileName == "MP_001" && server.NextGamemode == "RushLarge0")
{
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "XXX");
    plugin.ConsoleWrite("Next map is "+server.NextMapFileName+" with game mode "+server.NextGamemode+". Tickets set for next map");
    return false;
}

You can also test out expressions online at http://www.myregextester.com/index.php. Make sure you tick the "USE .NET" if you're testing it for use in a plugin.

    /* Find the best scoring clan */
    String best_clan = String.Empty;
    double best_score = 0;

        if (pair.Value > best_score)
        {
             best_clan = pair.Key;

        }
    
    if (best_clan.Length > 0)
	{
		String message = "Top scoring clan this round is "+ best_clan + " with " + best_score + " points!";
                plugin.SendGlobalMessage(message); 
		plugin.ConsoleWrite(message);
        }   
    return false;

This limit should work for TDM, CQ, and Rush. It will not work properly for SQDM because it assumes there are only two teams.

THANK YOU!

Not sure at this time, but I think it ist working.

For TDM I think it should be inverted.

>90 (at 100% tickets/kills)

 

Another wish.

Is it possible, if a limit is reached, I can also see a message in the chat-tab of procon?

Console is fine, but chat-tab would be better for me.

 

Thx!

I just tried the Multi Action Bad Word Filter, it seems to work with 0.0.0.4. Maybe your limit is not getting re-compiled. Try forcing the limit to recompile by changing something in the code. (add some spaces) ... and see if there are any errors. Then, check if it works saying some profanity in-game.

 

set first_check to Code

 

Code:

if(Regex.Match(server.Gamemode, "(RushLarge0|ConquestLarge0)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
{
    if( team1.TicketsRound < 50 || team2.TicketsRound < 50 )
        return true;
}
else if(server.Gamemode == "TeamDeathMatch0")
{
    if( team1.TicketsRound < 10 || team2.TicketsRound < 10 )
        return true;
}


return false;

Something like that at least

For TDM, and SQDM, the tickets increase instead of decreasing. The first team to reach server.TargetTickets wins the round.

 

Something like this should work:

 

Code:

double remaining = server.TargetTickets - Math.Max(team1.TicketsRound, team2.TicketsRound);

Note, there is a bug in PRoCon, where TargetTickets is not correct. This was fixed in ProCon 1.1.3.0 ... so if you are using an older version, you have to hard-code the actual value of "TargetTickets" for your server.

 

Code:

double remaining = 100 - Math.Max(team1.TicketsRound, team2.TicketsRound);

Limits based on Battlelog stats seems to do the best job at keeping cheaters out before they even spawn in the game. Take a look at the discussion going on in the GameServers.com forum. Several admins have been using the plugin with good catch rate.

Some things to note are:

• Typical (blatant) cheaters will have a really high KDR and SPM/KPM but really low Accuracy
• Sneaky (careful) cheaters will have a high KDR, but low KPM/SPM as they try to avoid detection.
• Players that spend a lot of the time in vehicles may trigger false posivites because of high KDR

We definitely need a youtube video explaining how to set up limits ... for the first time users. After you learn the basic concepts of the plugin, everything else becomes a breeze (copy and paste).
