Any idea why?

Look in the Code or Expression parts of the limit for something like this:

player.kills

Replace it with this:

player.Kills

The property names start with an initial upper case letter.

thank you for taking your time, how would you implement this in the "announce top scoring clan limit"?

I am no coder, i understand the logic, but I'll just break the code...

How much is it worth to you? Will you pay me $100 to write this code for you?

JUST KIDDING!

You didn't say which method you wanted, always "NBF" or anything that is XXX-PlayerName. I'll assume the latter. I'll also assume you want for it to work with both regular tags and no-tag patterns. If that's not what you wanted, well, I'm not a mind reader!

Basically, every place where player_info.Tag is used has to be replaced with new code similar to what I wrote before. Here's how I would modify the code (stuff in bold is new/changed):

Code:

double count = limit.Activations();
    
    if (count > 3)
        return false;

    List<PlayerInfoInterface> players = new List<PlayerInfoInterface>();
    players.AddRange(team1.players);
    players.AddRange(team2.players);
    Dictionary<String, double> clan_stats = new Dictionary<String, double>();
    
    /* Collect clan statistics */
    foreach(PlayerInfoInterface player_info in players)
    {
        [b]String tag = player_info.Tag;[/b]
        if (player_info.Tag.Length == 0) [b]{
            // Player does not have a regular tag, check for XXX-PlayerName form
            Match myMatch = Regex.Match(player_info.Name, @"^([^\s]{2,4})-");
            if (myMatch.Success) {
                tag = myMatch.Groups[1].Value;
                if (true) plugin.ConsoleWrite("^bPapaCharlie9's code^n found tag: " + tag + " in name " + player_info.FullName);
            } else {
                // No tag at all, skip it
                continue;
            }
        }[/b]
        
        if (!clan_stats.ContainsKey([b]tag[/b]))
            clan_stats.Add([b]tag[/b], 0);
        
        clan_stats[[b]tag[/b]] += player_info.ScoreRound;
    }

    /* Find the best scoring clan */
    String best_clan = String.Empty;
    double best_score = 0;
    
    foreach(KeyValuePair<String, double> pair in clan_stats)
        if (pair.Value > best_score)
        {
             best_clan = pair.Key;
             best_score = pair.Value;
        }
    
    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;

The modified code will print the following in the plugin log every time a name is found with the XXX-PlayerName pattern, for example, if the player's name is AA-ImaHacker, it will print:

PapaCharlie9's code found tag: AA in name AA-ImaHacker

This is called "debugging output". It helps to verify that the code is working. When you no longer need it and/or you are tired of looking at my name all over your plugin log, change the red word true to false.

If you plan to cut & paste this code into the limit, REMOVE the bold and color tags or it won't compile. Look for [ b ], [ /b ], [ color=red ] and [ /color ] (but without spaces) and remove all of them from the code before you copy&paste to Insane Limits.

BTW, I am working on a better version of this limit, which uses average score and average kills instead of total score. Otherwise, whoever has the most players in the round is likely going to be the top clan.

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.

do i have to keep adding limits? or can i just add

if (server.PlayerCount

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "100");

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.idleTimeout", "0");

else

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "150");

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.idleTimeout", "600");

because i get errors like that.

This is micovery's fault for using bad coding style ...

Every time you see indented code (a line of code with tabs or spaces to the left), make sure there is an { open curly brace at the beginning and a } close curly brace at the end.

Even if it is only one line of code, like this:

Code:

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

If you always write your if/else statements like that, you'll never have that compilation problem. If you don't like how that looks, a more concise style that does the same thing is:

Code:

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

So you see why your code has a compilation error? You have two lines of indented code twice. Each of those two line "blocks" is missing { and }. Try this:

Code:

if (server.PlayerCount < 16 ) {
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "100");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.idleTimeout", "0");
} else {
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "150");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.idleTimeout", "600");
}

And no, you don't need a whole new limit. You can string together as many if/else if/else clauses as you want. So the combined code would be:

Code:

// When 8 or more players are on, enable vehicle spawns
if (server.PlayerCount < 8 ) {
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "false");
} else {
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "true");
}

// When 16 or more players are on, increase tickets by 50% (next round) and set idle timeout to 10 minutes
if (server.PlayerCount < 16 ) {
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "100");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.idleTimeout", "0");
} else {
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", "150");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.idleTimeout", "600");
}

This is micovery's fault for using bad coding style ...

I've created a monster lol! PapaCharlie is right ... I come from a C/C++ background where curly braces around a single line of code are considered frivolous. To be safe ... always include curly braces for blocks after if ( ), else if ( ) and else . I have highlighted each block below, (braces on red).

Code:

[b]if ( [/b]condition1[b] )[/b]
<span class="highlight">[b]{[/b]                           
   ...                      
[b]}[/b]                           </span>
[b]else if ( [/b]condition2[b] )[/b]
<span class="highlight">[b]{[/b]                           
   ...                      
[b]}[/b]                           </span>
[b]else if ( [/b]condition3[b] )[/b]
<span class="highlight">[b]{[/b]

The limit will do the following:

[LGN]PapaCharlie9 got a DOUBLE KILL with RPG-7 on: HemaToma, Froz3nTundra

micovery got a TRIPLE KILL with USAS-12 on: [LGN]PapaCharlie9, droopie, HexaCanon

* If a player gets more kills in one second than the maximum vehicle capacity (Vodnik carries 5_), he's kicked for suspicion of hacking, and if it's more than 8, he's banned.

Coding details:

* OnKill, check the list (see below) for multi-kill counts. Flush all pending multi-kills if conditions[1] are right.

* If this is the first time seeing this killer, start a multi-kill count for him, saving everything in the kill object as well as the victim's name. Add this count to the list.

* If we have seen this killer before, and its the same kill.Time, kill.Weapon and victim.Name, increment the kill count.

* If the kill count exceeds the suspicious limit (TBD), kick killer.

* If the kill count exceeds 8, ban killer.

[1] The tricky part is figuring out the conditions for flushing a multi-kill count. Certainly if the same killer shows up in an OnKill event with anything different (kill.Time, kill.Weapon, victim.Name), it's time to flush his count. But that might be a long time after the multi-kill. Ideally, what I want to do is have a condition like, "If no new OnKill multi-kill events happen for this player within 1000 milliseconds, flush". I can't think of a way to do that, though. I don't want to set OnInterval to 1 second. Testing every possible event that might happen, from OnJoin to OnInterval, is better, but still not perfect. Short of that, I can flush at the beginning of every OnKill if anything is different from the last OnKill, other than the victim. That still might delay the message for several seconds, maybe even over a minute, but unless anyone has a better idea, that's what I'll do.

This is very tricky to do ... the part about when to stop counting (flush).You do not know how many kills the player made ... (ahead of time). In a earlier request, I replied that this is possible to do with a parallel thread spawned after the OnKill event. This thread sleeps for a few seconds ... letting the kills accumulate. After the sleep time expires... the thread checks how many kills have accumulated, and sends the appropriate multi-kill message.

A few things to consider about this approach:

1. I don't think I included the "using Systhem.Thread" library for LimitEvaluators ... check the function that builds the evaluator source code, and add it manually. (It will be in there by default in next version).

2. When you spawn the sleeper/accumulator thread, set a global flag in the limit (or player) to make a note that you have spawned a kill-sleeper thread for that player. That way you don't spawn one thread per kill. You want to spawn only one thread at the beginning of the spree.

If this will be easier to do in 0.8, I'll just wait. I forgot that thread delegates were coming in 0.8.

Who will be responsible for the mutex? Hopefully that's in System.Thread also. I should lock a mutex around all access to all the objects, like killer, victim, kill, server, plugin, etc., right?

Short answer: put @ in front of the regex expression string. That tells the C# compiler to ignore backslash and other crap. So you want

@".*n+ *[o0u.,*_\-\s]{2,} *[bp].*"

Long answer: with regex expressions, there are two sources of errors: compilation errors, like you got, and runtime (evaluation) errors, which compile just fine but fail when the code executes. Using regexpal.com is a good way to find and fix runtime errors, but it won't help you with compilation errors.

Wow, you really really don't want people typing "noob" into chat, do you?

BTW, everywhere you have " *" ought to be "[ ]*" or "\s*". It's more readable and probably safer -- not sure if the game records TAB as a character or not.

Also, do you really mean to match?

no bs! (as in, no bullshit? people type that all the time)

no body at flag A (typo for nobody)

no buddy, i don't hack

It won't match "nub" though, which I've seen recently when people are too lazy to type noob. Funny story, one of my clan mate's player's name is "BearCat". The other day, I saw this trashtalk typed into chat:

you suck, nubcat!

That made me laff.

This is not a working example either, ( I have not tested it to make sure it compiles) but it would go something like this.

This limit would send a message every 15 minutes ... well not exactly every 15 minutes, maybe longer, depending on how much activity there is in the server. Basically what it does is ... the first time it runs it sends the message, and saves the time-stamp of the last message sent. Then, every-time it runs, it checks ... how long has it been since the last message? If it has been 15 minutes or longer ... it sends message again, and resets the time-stamp of the last message.

Set limit to evaluate on any event that happens frequently ... OnKill would be a good one.

Set first_check to this Code:

Code:

     int minutes = 15;

     if (limit.Data.issetObject("last_message_time") == false)
         limit.Data.setObject("last_message_time", DateTime.Now);
     
     DateTime lastMessageTime =  (DateTime) limit.Data.getObject("last_message_time");
     
     DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
     if (now.Subtract(lastMessageTime).TotalMinutes >= minutes)
     {
         limit.Data.setObject("last_message_time", now);
         plugin.SendGlobalMessage("Message1");
     }

     return false;

Set limit to evaluate on any event that happens frequently ... OnKill would be a good one.

Set first_check to this Code:

Code:
     int minutes = 15;

     if (limit.Data.issetObject("last_message_time") == false)
         limit.Data.setObject("last_message_time", DateTime.Now);
     
     DateTime lastMessageTime =  (DateTime) limit.Data.getObject("last_message_time");
     
     DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
     if (now.Subtract(lastMessageTime).TotalMinutes >= minutes)
     {
         limit.Data.setObject("last_message_time", now);
         plugin.SendGlobalMessage("Message1");
     }

     return false;

ERROR: (CS0103, line: 30, column: 22): The name 'limit' does not exist in the current context

but i kinda see how its setup. if anyone else finds a fix ill come back to check. ill work on it to see if i can figure this out lol

Bah, it's my mistake, the limit object is only available in the second_check.

Set the first_check to this Expression:

Code:

true

And set second_check to this Code:

Code:

double minutes = 15;
   
     DateTime now = DateTime.now;
    
     if (limit.Data.issetObject("last_message_time") == false)
         limit.Data.setObject("last_message_time", now);
     
     DateTime lastMessageTime =  (DateTime) limit.Data.getObject("last_message_time");
     
     double minutes_since_last = now.Substract(lastMessageTime).TotalMinutes;

     if (minutes_since_last == 0 || minutes_since_last >= minutes)
     {
         limit.Data.setObject("last_message_time", now);
         plugin.SendGlobalMessage("Message1");
     }

     return false;

By the way, my original description is wrong ... the first message will be sent after 15 minutes. I have changed the code so it matches if the time difference is 0 ... ( the first time), it also sends the message.

JUST KIDDING!

Hehe! It's worth what you say it is

You didn't say which method you wanted, always "NBF" or anything that is XXX-PlayerName. I'll assume the latter. I'll also assume you want for it to work with both regular tags and no-tag patterns. If that's not what you wanted, well, I'm not a mind reader!

Well, you figured out what i wanted, so nothing more to add here...

Basically, every place where player_info.Tag is used has to be replaced with new code similar to what I wrote before. Here's how I would modify the code (stuff in bold is new/changed):

Code:
double count = limit.Activations();
    
    if (count > 3)
        return false;

    List<PlayerInfoInterface> players = new List<PlayerInfoInterface>();
    players.AddRange(team1.players);
    players.AddRange(team2.players);
    Dictionary<String, double> clan_stats = new Dictionary<String, double>();
    
    /* Collect clan statistics */
    foreach(PlayerInfoInterface player_info in players)
    {
        [b]String tag = player_info.Tag;[/b]
        if (player_info.Tag.Length == 0) [b]{
            // Player does not have a regular tag, check for XXX-PlayerName form
            Match myMatch = Regex.Match(player_info.Name, @"^([^\s]{2,4})-");
            if (myMatch.Success) {
                tag = myMatch.Groups[1].Value;
                if (true) plugin.ConsoleWrite("^bPapaCharlie9's code^n found tag: " + tag + " in name " + player_info.FullName);
            } else {
                // No tag at all, skip it
                continue;
            }
        }[/b]
        
        if (!clan_stats.ContainsKey([b]tag[/b]))
            clan_stats.Add([b]tag[/b], 0);
        
        clan_stats[[b]tag[/b]] += player_info.ScoreRound;
    }

    /* Find the best scoring clan */
    String best_clan = String.Empty;
    double best_score = 0;
    
    foreach(KeyValuePair<String, double> pair in clan_stats)
        if (pair.Value > best_score)
        {
             best_clan = pair.Key;
             best_score = pair.Value;
        }
    
    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;
The modified code will print the following in the plugin log every time a name is found with the XXX-PlayerName pattern, for example, if the player's name is AA-ImaHacker, it will print:

PapaCharlie9's code found tag: AA in name AA-ImaHacker

This is called "debugging output". It helps to verify that the code is working. When you no longer need it and/or you are tired of looking at my name all over your plugin log, change the red word true to false.

If you plan to cut & paste this code into the limit, REMOVE the bold and color tags or it won't compile. Look for [ b ], [ /b ], [ color=red ] and [ /color ] (but without spaces) and remove all of them from the code before you copy&paste to Insane Limits.

BTW, I am working on a better version of this limit, which uses average score and average kills instead of total score. Otherwise, whoever has the most players in the round is likely going to be the top clan.

Thank you so much for doing this, much appreciated! I'll keep an eye out for the updated version.

PS: It works like a charm! Whatever charm is

i occasionally get this come up in plugin log but i dont know were from

the only whitelist check i use is for admin anouncer but it only checks that on spawn and thats a player not a victim?

any ideas

Short answer: put @ in front of the regex expression string. That tells the C# compiler to ignore backslash and other crap. So you want

@".*n+ *[o0u.,*_\-\s]{2,} *[bp].*"

Long answer: with regex expressions, there are two sources of errors: compilation errors, like you got, and runtime (evaluation) errors, which compile just fine but fail when the code executes. Using regexpal.com is a good way to find and fix runtime errors, but it won't help you with compilation errors.

Wow, you really really don't want people typing "noob" into chat, do you?

BTW, everywhere you have " *" ought to be "[ ]*" or "\s*". It's more readable and probably safer -- not sure if the game records TAB as a character or not.

Also, do you really mean to match?

no bs! (as in, no bullshit? people type that all the time)

no body at flag A (typo for nobody)

no buddy, i don't hack

It won't match "nub" though, which I've seen recently when people are too lazy to type noob. Funny story, one of my clan mate's player's name is "BearCat". The other day, I saw this trashtalk typed into chat:

you suck, nubcat!

That made me laff.

this is my current work in progress an still needs to be tested a bit

Code:

List<String> bad_words = new List<String>();

    bad_words.Add(@".*n+[ .,*_!]*e+[ .,*_!]*w+[ .,*_!]*b.*");
    bad_words.Add(@".*b+[ .,*_!]*[o0 ]{2,}[ .,*_!]*n.*");
    bad_words.Add(@".*n+[ .,*_!]*[aiu]+[ .,*_!]*b.*");
    bad_words.Add(@".*n+[ .,*_!]*[o0u.,*_!]+[ .,*_!]*[o0u.,*_!]+[ .,*_!]*[bp].*");
    bad_words.Add(@".*n+[ .,*_!]*a+[ .,*_!]*b.*");
    bad_words.Add(@".*n+[ .,*_!]*a+[ .,*_!]*b.*");
    bad_words.Add(@".*n+[ .,*_!]*[o0u]+[ .,*_!]*[bp]{2,}.*");

        foreach(String bad_word in bad_words)
            if (Regex.Match(player.LastChat, "^"+bad_word+"$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
                return true;

    return false;

i take it the @ doesnt disable the * for optional or + for required once or more_?

can you help me out with this error ?

Edit1: Fixed this with removing my Admin Welcome Messages config

Edit2:

i also found this code from you, to limit weapons

Code:

Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(RPG|SMAW)").Success && server.MapFileName.StartsWith("XP1") && server.Gamemode.StartsWith("TeamDeathMatch")

but i need i to work on more weapons, so i edited it alittle, but dont know if the weapon codes it the right ones, and it cant seem to get it to work. got killed a couple of times by claymore, but no action taken ?

Code:

Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(RPG-7|SMAW|Claymore|C4|USAS-12|M224MORTAR)").Success && server.MapFileName.StartsWith("XP1") && server.Gamemode.StartsWith("TeamDeathMatch")

Code:

double count = limit.Activations(player.Name);
	
	if (count == 1)
	    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, do not use %w_n%!"));
	else if (count == 2)
	{
	    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, was slayed for using %w_n% %p_x% times!"));
		plugin.KillPlayer(player.Name);
	}
	else if (count >= 3)
	{
	    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, was kicked for using %w_n% %p_x% times!"));
            plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("%p_n%, you were kicked for using %w_n% %p_x% times"));		
	}

       return false;

EXAMPLE: When it reaches 20 players switch to HC and then when it drops back below 16 players go back to SC.

i had the same question just in different modes from hardcore to custom and here is the answer...

myrcon.net/...insane-limits-examples#entry18681

u just have to set the settings for softcore/hardcore.

Ahh.. so just need to add all the vars for HC in the top part and vars for SC after the else command.. cool ty.

PS: It works like a charm! Whatever charm is

Here's a better version of the Regex. It also handles =XXX=PlayerName, XXX_PlayerName and -XXX-PlayerName. I noticed those patterns on my server, so I added code to handle those patterns too.

I also cleaned out the bold and color, to make this easier to paste:

Code:

double count = limit.Activations();
    
    if (count > 3)
        return false;

    List<PlayerInfoInterface> players = new List<PlayerInfoInterface>();
    players.AddRange(team1.players);
    players.AddRange(team2.players);
    Dictionary<String, double> clan_stats = new Dictionary<String, double>();
    
    /* Collect clan statistics */
    foreach(PlayerInfoInterface player_info in players)
    {
        String tag = player_info.Tag;
        if (player_info.Tag.Length == 0) {
            // Player does not have a regular tag, check for [_-=]XXX[=-_]PlayerName form
            Match myMatch = Regex.Match(player_info.Name, @"^[=_\-]_([^=_\-]{2,4})[=_\-]");
            if (myMatch.Success) {
                tag = myMatch.Groups[1].Value;
                if (true) plugin.ConsoleWrite("^bPapaCharlie9's code^n found tag: " + tag + " in name " + player_info.FullName);
            } else {
                // No tag at all, skip it
                continue;
            }
        }
        
        if (!clan_stats.ContainsKey(tag))
            clan_stats.Add(tag, 0);
        
        clan_stats[tag] += player_info.ScoreRound;
    }

    /* Find the best scoring clan */
    String best_clan = String.Empty;
    double best_score = 0;
    
    foreach(KeyValuePair<String, double> pair in clan_stats)
        if (pair.Value > best_score)
        {
             best_clan = pair.Key;
             best_score = pair.Value;
        }
    
    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;

i occasionally get this come up in plugin log but i dont know were from

the only whitelist check i use is for admin anouncer but it only checks that on spawn and thats a player not a victim?

any ideas

Look for plugin.R(".... isInWhitelist ...") in your code, where ... is some other text that I can't possibly know. The error is telling you that plugin.R() doesn't recognize the property called "isInWhitelist". Not sure if that's intentional or just an oversight in the Insane Limits code. Given the initial lower case letter of the name, I'm not sure it's supposed to be treated as a property.

You can work around this limitation by breaking up the string message. Suppose you have this:

plugin.R("killer.Name is okay: killer.isInWhitelist, victim.Name is okay: victim.isInWhitelist")

Because you want an output text line like this:

micovery is okay: true, PapaCharlieNiner is okay: false

You can rewrite the string as follows to get the formatting you want:

plugin.R("killer.Name is okay: ") + killer.isInWhitelist + plugin.R(", victim.Name is okay: ") + victim.isInWhitelist

i take it the @ doesnt disable the * for optional or + for required once or more_?

No, it doesn't disable anything. It just tells the compiler to make no changes to the string. If you don't use @, the compiler will look for \ and treat that as an "escape code" for a special character. For example:

"Line 1\nLine 2\nTab\tTab"

would print out as:

Line 1

Line 2

Tab Tab

Where \n becomes a new line and \t becomes a tab. Without the @, the compiler will see stuff like \s and think it's a special code which it doesn't understand and gives an error.

Compare to:

@"Line 1\nLine 2\nTab\tTab"

which would print out as:

Line1\nLine2\nTab\tTab

I think this is a bug in the code ... the way those replacements work is different than usual. The plugin does not scan your string to see what you are using, and replace it. Instead, it takes a brute-force (replace-all) approach ... it iterates through all of the properties of those objects, and blindly tries to replace them. If they appear on the string, well then that's good, but if it does not appear it does not hurt ... since nothing will be replaced (it just wastes a few milliseconds).

The problem is that they way I coded I expected all the "Properties" to be numeric .. and those properties are "Boolean" ... which I did not handle correctly.

Note that the error says ... "it could not determine the value" ... which is not the same as it could not find the property.
