Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, "(Melee|Knife)").Success need MAV name.

 

Thanks,

Only way is to use ROADKILL

 

MAV doesn't have its own name yet.

Every XXXX Seconds checks for players in the White List and Say Admin(s) Mr.A, Mr.B, Mr.C are currently online.

Is something like that possible?

!limit 3 Disabled

 

(same meaning as your !ESL OFF 3), I think this code would work (NOT REAL CODE, DO NOT TRY TO COMPILE!):

 

Code:

String id = ... the number parsed out of the chat command ...
String state = ... the state, Enabled/Disabled/Virtual, parsed out of the chat command ...
String limitName = "limit_" + id + "_state";
plugin.setPluginVarValue(limitName, state);

Better still would be if a future version of Insane Limits just made this an Action, with a corresponding function on the Plugin object, with parameters for limit id and the desired state. So yet another wish list item!

It's easy, just apply a filter with the names of admins

 

otherwise continuing on disabling limits, could disable a procon plugins and enable them again?

 

I love this plugin, you can do almost everything, congratulations to the author:smile:

How do I make a server spam message wich pop up every 5 minutes?

First of all, every 5 minutes is pretty noisy. You sure you want 5 minutes? I never do any scrolling chat with a frequency of less than every 15 minutes.

 

See this post: http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...6996#post36996*

 

Use a pb_sv_task and add it to your pbsvuser.cfg. That's the preferred way and works whether you have the plugin or PRoCon running or not.

 

Don't know what a pb_sv_task or pbsvuser.cfg is? Every admin should know the basics about RCON and PunkBuster commands, particularly if you want to make your own limits with Insane Limiter, so familiarize yourself with this documentation:

 

RCON:

http://static.cdn.ea.com/dice/u/f/bf...inistrator.zip

See the "BF3 PC Server Remote Administration Protocol.pdf" file, Client Commands section.

 

PunkBuster:

http://www.evenbalance.com/publicati...c-ad/index.htm

 

Steps to add scrolling chat messages follow. REQUIREMENTS: access to your PunkBuster configuration file folder on your game server, ability to read/write the contents of PB config files, a pbsv.cfg file already exists -- if it doesn't, your config directory isn't properly setup yet and this may not work.

 

1) If you already have a pbsvuser.cfg, skip to step 4

 

2) To create a pbsvuser.cfg, either use your RSP access to create or ftp upload a file, or, from the PunkBuster console window (PRoCon Console tab, PunkBuster tab), type this command (NOTE: This overwrites/destroys any existing pbsvuser.cfg file, so be sure you don't already have one!):

 

pb_sv_writecfg pbsvuser.cfg

 

Then IMMEDIATELY use your RSP access to replace all of the contents of the pbsvuser.cfg file with Step 3. If you don't do this, you might start seeing double commands and other weird PunkBuster stuff.

 

3) Initialize the contents of the pbsvuser.cfg file with this header comment, as a reminder to yourself how to format tasks:

 

Code:

; Put task customizations here
; ------------------------------
; PB Tasks (pb_sv_task [start delay (seconds)] [repeat (seconds)] [command])
; ------------------------------

4) At the end of the file, add a new pb_sv_task line. Use the format described in Step 3. So, for example, let's say you want to advertise Insane Limits every 15 minutes with a message like "=== This server is protected by Insane Limits! ===". All times in pb_sv_task are expressed in seconds, so you have to convert 15 minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60, which is 900. Let's also say you want the very first message to come 20 minutes after a reboot, so 20 times 60 is 1200. Now you have everything you need to add the scrolling message. Add this line:

 

pb_sv_task 1200 900 admin.say "=== This server is protected by Insane Limits! ==="

 

The "double quotes" around the message are required.

 

5) Reboot your game server or restart just PunkBuster by typing this command into the ProCon PunkBuster command line:

 

pb_sv_restart

 

=======

 

That's it. You can add one pb_sv_task for each message you want to scroll.

 

The difference between the delay values is the time between messages. So, if you want "Test 1!" and "Test 2!" to show up 10 seconds apart, you would do something like this:

 

pb_sv_task 600 300 admin.say "Test 1!"

pb_sv_task 610 300 admin.say "Test 2!"

 

610 - 600 is 10 seconds, so Test 2 will show up 10 seconds after Test 1.

Really nice feature which I use for our server. Is there a way to change the code, expressions etc so that the rules are only "spammed" to the player who asked for instead everyone? Would be great! Thanks.

With the current RCON protocol it is not possible to send messages to single players. The one in my example only sends it to the SQUAD, so MAX 4 people will see this when its requested.

Quick Summary: I want an in-game command _victims to show my top 3 victims and _killers to show my top 3 killers.

 

I wrote up all the code. The OnJoin and OnKill bookeeping is pretty straightforward (with the patch for bool casting). The OnAnyChat that enables asking for _killers or _victims (and eventually _versus {player}, but not implemented in this yet) was the big one, mostly just for parsing the command. My noob C# skills probably show through here, maybe there's a more concise way of writing this? I tried to use LINQ to do the sort, but looks like PRoCon doesn't have that assembly.

 

Rather than have a gigantic post of code blocks, I just attached the dump limits files.

 

Limit 2 is the OnJoin initializer.

 

Limit 3 is the OnKill tracker.

 

Limit 4 is the OnAnyChat command executive.

 

Let me know if there is anything I could do better! This all compiles, but I haven't tried it on a live server yet. It also isn't hooked up to chat back yet, just dumps debug stuff to the log.

The way the example is written it does not support jumps/holes. The count-values have to be continuous. 15,16, 17, etc. Not 15, 20, 25. I will fix the example for next version to support jumps/holes.

pb_sv_task 600 300 admin.say "Test 1!"

pb_sv_task 610 300 admin.say "Test 2!"

 

610 - 600 is 10 seconds, so Test 2 will show up 10 seconds after Test 1.

the 1 thing i cant find is a way to do a bf2 like msgs...

Well there may be public info in that regard but I'm speaking more of having prior knowledge of the player,who's been on before.

No, I need InsaneLimits.dump, not DEBUG.txt. Anyway, I don't think that file will help much. The important thing is identify which limit is raising those exceptions. (I think it's your Kill-Streak limit). In next version, I am adding information to be able to identify which limit causes a dump.

Set limit to evaluate OnInterval, and set action to None

 

Set first_check to use this Code snippet:

 

Code:

if (server.PlayerCount < 8 )
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "false");
else
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "true");

In this case, if number of players in the server falls below 8, vehicles are disabled. As soon as it goes to or over 8, vehicles are re-enabled. You may change this value as you see fit.

 

Also note that when you turn off vehicle spawn, your server may not be listed in Battlelog as Hard-core. Additionally, disabling vehicles can reportedly interfere with Battlelog's Quick Match option.

omg i totally missed this example. dude im disabling/removing a bunch of plugins because your plugin is so far close to an all-in-1. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is one problem in your regular expression, it's missing the parenthesis around the group.

 

Code:

Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"[b]([/b]m320|smaw|rpg[b])[/b]", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success

As far as distinguishing between different types of m320, I am not sure, I have to check what are the weapon names that the server sends when killing with those.

 

If you have time, you can check it yourself. Go on your server, and kill some-one with one of those m320 variations. Then inside the plugin run this command (in the console field)

 

Code:

!weapon round stats mezzovide

It should tell you all the names of all the weapons you have made kills with.

You probably should edit this post too myrcon.net/...insane-limits-examples#entry18504 since ive just copy paste from there.

 

If you have time, you can check it yourself. Go on your server, and kill some-one with one of those m320 variations.

gonna check after this, thx.

All votes are reset at the end of a round. The player name does not have to be a full-name. It can be a sub-string or misspelled name.

 

Set limit to evaluate OnAnyChat, set action to None

 

Set first_check to this Code

Code:

double percent = 50;

/* Verify that it is a command */
if (!plugin.IsInGameCommand(player.LastChat))
    return false;

/* Extract the command */
String command = plugin.ExtractInGameCommand(player.LastChat);

/* Sanity check the command */

    return false;
    
/* Parse the command */
Match kickMatch = Regex.Match(command, @"^votekick\s+([^ ]+)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

/* Bail out if not a vote-kick */
if (!kickMatch.Success)
    return false;
    
/* Extract the player name */
PlayerInfoInterface target = plugin.GetPlayer(kickMatch.Groups[1].Value.Trim(), true);

if (target == null)
    return false;
    
if (target.Name.Equals(player.Name))
{
    plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, plugin.R("player.Name, you cannot vote-kick yourself!"));
    return false;
}
    
/* Account the vote in the voter's dictionary */
/* Votes are kept with the voter, not the votee */
/* If the voter leaves, his votes are not counted */

if (!player.DataRound.issetObject("votekick"))
    player.DataRound.setObject("votekick", new Dictionary<String, bool>());

Dictionary<String, bool> vdict =  (Dictionary<String, bool>) player.DataRound.getObject("votekick");

if (!vdict.ContainsKey(target.Name))
    vdict.Add(target.Name, true);


/* Tally the votes against the target player */
double votes = 0;
List<PlayerInfoInterface> all = new List<PlayerInfoInterface>();
all.AddRange(team1.players);
all.AddRange(team2.players);
all.AddRange(team3.players);
all.AddRange(team4.players);

foreach(PlayerInfoInterface p in all)
    if (p.DataRound.issetObject("votekick"))
    {
       Dictionary<String, bool> pvotes = (Dictionary<String, bool>) p.DataRound.getObject("votekick");
       if (pvotes.ContainsKey(target.Name) && pvotes[target.Name])
           votes++;
    }

if (all.Count == 0)
    return false;
    
int needed = (int) Math.Ceiling((double) all.Count * (percent/100.0));
int remain = (int) ( needed - votes);

if (remain == 1)
   plugin.SendGlobalMessage(target.Name + " is about to get vote-kicked, 1 more vote needed");
else if (remain > 0)
   plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, plugin.R("player.Name, your vote against " + target.Name + " was counted, " + remain + " more needed to kick"));

if (remain > 0)
    plugin.ConsoleWrite(player.Name + ", is trying to vote-kick " + target.Name + ", " + remain + " more votes needed");

if (votes >= needed)
{
    String count = "with " + votes + " vote" + ((votes > 1)_"s":"");
    String message = target.Name + " was vote-kicked " + count ;
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(message);
    plugin.ConsoleWrite(message);
    plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(target.Name, target.Name + ", you were vote-kicked from the server " + count);
    return true;
}

return false;

Thanks, I have edited it. Note that a lot of the conversations In-Between examples, I will remove later on. Once a question/discussion is resolved, I will remove traces of the question/discussion so that only examples remain.

Set limit to evaluate OnTeamChanged and action to None

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

Set second_check to this Code:

 

Code:

if (team1.Tickets == team2.Tickets)
    return false;

/* find which team is losing */
TeamInfoInterface loseTeam = ( team1.Tickets > team2.Tickets)_ team2:team1;

/* check which team the player moved to */
if (player.TeamId  == loseTeam.TeamId)
   plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("Cheers to player.Name for moving to help losing team!"));
else
{
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("player.Name switched to Winning team, moving him back!"));
    plugin.MovePlayer(player.Name, loseTeam.TeamId, 0, true);
}

return false;

See this post: http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...6996#post36996*

 

Use a pb_sv_task and add it to your pbsvuser.cfg. That's the preferred way and works whether you have the plugin or PRoCon running or not.

 

Don't know what a pb_sv_task or pbsvuser.cfg is? Every admin should know the basics about RCON and PunkBuster commands, particularly if you want to make your own limits with Insane Limiter, so familiarize yourself with this documentation:

 

RCON:

http://static.cdn.ea.com/dice/u/f/bf...inistrator.zip

See the "BF3 PC Server Remote Administration Protocol.pdf" file, Client Commands section.

 

PunkBuster:

http://www.evenbalance.com/publicati...c-ad/index.htm

 

Steps to add scrolling chat messages follow. REQUIREMENTS: access to your PunkBuster configuration file folder on your game server, ability to read/write the contents of PB config files, a pbsv.cfg file already exists -- if it doesn't, your config directory isn't properly setup yet and this may not work.

 

1) If you already have a pbsvuser.cfg, skip to step 4

 

2) To create a pbsvuser.cfg, either use your RSP access to create or ftp upload a file, or, from the PunkBuster console window (PRoCon Console tab, PunkBuster tab), type this command (NOTE: This overwrites/destroys any existing pbsvuser.cfg file, so be sure you don't already have one!):

 

pb_sv_writecfg pbsvuser.cfg

 

Then IMMEDIATELY use your RSP access to replace all of the contents of the pbsvuser.cfg file with Step 3. If you don't do this, you might start seeing double commands and other weird PunkBuster stuff.

 

3) Initialize the contents of the pbsvuser.cfg file with this header comment, as a reminder to yourself how to format tasks:

 

Code:

; Put task customizations here
; ------------------------------
; PB Tasks (pb_sv_task [start delay (seconds)] [repeat (seconds)] [command])
; ------------------------------

4) At the end of the file, add a new pb_sv_task line. Use the format described in Step 3. So, for example, let's say you want to advertise Insane Limits every 15 minutes with a message like "=== This server is protected by Insane Limits! ===". All times in pb_sv_task are expressed in seconds, so you have to convert 15 minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60, which is 900. Let's also say you want the very first message to come 20 minutes after a reboot, so 20 times 60 is 1200. Now you have everything you need to add the scrolling message. Add this line:

 

pb_sv_task 1200 900 admin.say "=== This server is protected by Insane Limits! ==="

 

The "double quotes" around the message are required.

 

5) Reboot your game server or restart just PunkBuster by typing this command into the ProCon PunkBuster command line:

 

pb_sv_restart

 

=======

 

That's it. You can add one pb_sv_task for each message you want to scroll.

 

The difference between the delay values is the time between messages. So, if you want "Test 1!" and "Test 2!" to show up 10 seconds apart, you would do something like this:

 

pb_sv_task 600 300 admin.say "Test 1!"

pb_sv_task 610 300 admin.say "Test 2!"

 

610 - 600 is 10 seconds, so Test 2 will show up 10 seconds after Test 1.

Thank you for the explanation how to do the server spam message with punkbuster. The 5 minutes spam was only an example. I cant do this with punkbuster because I dont have access to it.

 

I thought it would be easier with insane limits and the check_interval command, but I dont know how to do this.

You can run punk-buster command from within ProCon (if you have the required privileges). Look under, Console Tab > PunkBuster Console Sub-Tab.

 

Spambot style limits will be available with 0.0.0.8.
