Guys, I've discovered a "bug" if you want to call it that with the Hardcore / Softcore switch.

 

Here's my logic..

 

Based on Server maps && Gamemode, switch between Hardcore or softcore.

 

This works fine except for one issue... when players are in the server... the settings don't seem to take effect for those players. The settings are in effect for anyone who joins after the settings are set.

 

 

First Check "OnRoundOver" & "Code"

 

 

Code:

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

normal_conq_maps.Add("MP_Subway");
normal_conq_maps.Add("XP1_001");
normal_conq_maps.Add("XP1_003");
normal_conq_maps.Add("MP_013");
normal_conq_maps.Add("XP1_004");
normal_conq_maps.Add("MP_001");

bool_ hardcore = null;
if (server.Data.issetBool("hardcore")){
    hardcore = server.Data.getBool("hardcore");
}
    
if (server.NextGamemode == "ConquestSmall0" || server.NextGamemode == "ConquestSmall1"){
   if(normal_conq_maps.Contains(server.MapFileName) && (hardcore == true || hardcore == null)){
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage("Switching server to soft-core mode");
    plugin.ConsoleWrite("Switching server to soft-core mode");
    server.Data.setBool("hardcore", false);

/* Normal Setting */
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.friendlyFire", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.killCam", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.hud", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.3dSpotting", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.nameTag", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.3pCam", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.regenerateHealth", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.soldierHealth", "100");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn", "false");
/* End Normal Settings */

}else{
   // plugin.SendGlobalMessage("Switching server to hard-core mode");
    plugin.ConsoleWrite("Switching server to hard-core mode");
    server.Data.setBool("hardcore", true);

/* Hardcore Setting */
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.friendlyFire", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.killCam", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.hud", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.3dSpotting", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.nameTag", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.3pCam", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.regenerateHealth", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.soldierHealth", "60");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn", "true");
/* End Hardcore Settings */ 

}
}else if ( server.NextGamemode == "RushLarge0" && (hardcore == false || hardcore == null)){
    //plugin.SendGlobalMessage("Switching server to hard-core mode");
    plugin.ConsoleWrite("Switching server to hard-core mode");
    server.Data.setBool("hardcore", true);

/* Hardcore Setting */
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.friendlyFire", "true");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.killCam", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.hud", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.3dSpotting", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.nameTag", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.3pCam", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.regenerateHealth", "false");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.soldierHealth", "60");
    plugin.ServerCommand("vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn", "true");
/* End Hardcore Settings */

}

How I chose to debug.

 

Had player connect to the server while it was in "normal" mode. Player played through round 1 of Rush on "normal" and when the second round came about, it switched to hardcore. The 2nd round of rush was set to hardcore however, the player still had a HUD which by server settings was disabled and showed in Battlelog as "Off".

 

I then had the player disconnect and reconnect to the server and upon reconnecting... the hud no longer showed.

 

Is there a way to force the settings to be applied to the current connections? It appears that when the client connects to the server, it grabs some of the settings and stores them for all subsequent rounds. (hud mainly) and applies that setting regardless of that setting being changed dynamically from round to round or even mid round for that matter.

 

The solution as far as I can tell at this point is to have the current connections drop, then rejoin for the new settings to take effect... but this is not really a practical solution.

Unfortunately, this is not a bug in PRoCon or Insane Limits. It is a limitation of the BF3 server/protocol.

 

I say unfortunately because, if it was a PRoCon or Insane Limits bug, we could attempt a fix.

 

According to the protocol doc, vars.hud is supposed to take affect, "on round restart". As you and others have noticed, it in fact takes place for any subsequent joins in the current round and any continuing joins don't change. There may be other settings that behave like this, but vars.hud does for sure.

 

Changing map level or restarting the round doesn't seem to help. Only disconnecting and rejoining seems to make a difference.

Here is a new question regarding this. Do you happen to know the timing of the RoundOver event?

 

I.e.

 

RoundOver event sent

 

--- Gap ---

 

RoundStart event sent

 

 

When does RoundStart event get sent? What I read was that it doesn't get sent until the first player spawns but I'm not sure about that.

 

As a possible work around to this hud issue & according to the protocal doc, it only works after a "round RESTART" but makes no mention of any other event.

 

In your opinion, would it be possible to get this working in this order?

 

1. RoundOver event sent, Change settings

2. Map loads, send restart command

 

Depending on when the "RoundStart" event is sent... it would dictate when the restart command could be sent. Preferably it would be prior to the player actually seeing the UI as not to make it look like the server is having issues.

 

Thank you for all you do Papa, I know you don't hear it as much as you deserve!

 

*** Edit ***

 

Also, to be crystal clear, I never tried restarting the round... I had the player naturally progress the round to test the RoundOver event to see if it would work rather than the RoundStart event.

 

Absolutely amazing how most everything else is instant or after map switch.. yet this isn't.

 

--------------

 

Just for reference: (Hardcore settings and when they take effect)

 

Friend Fire === round restart

KillCam === map switch

Hud === round restart

3d Spot === map switch

Name Tag === map switch

3p Cam === Unknown

Reg Health === Instant

Sol health === Instant

SQ Lead Spawn === Instant

If you change from soft to hardcore, all players need to reconnect to reset all players settings so everyone is equal.

Game bug and nothing with Procon.

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.

is there any way to use this rule only specific map? i want it only on metro, rest servers without... Can you help please.

 

EDIT: maybe i was find it

 

Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"m320|smaw|rpg", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success && server.MapFileName.StartsWith("MP_Subway")

I have to ask, I'm trying to modify this so that I can create a claymore rule that will kill then kick a player if they use more than 4 claymores per round. Does this number reset after each round or is it as long as the player stays on the server? thanks

1. How can i send two messages , so a message to the player who's typing votekick and a global message ? I'm using the template for the votekick

 

if (remain == 1)

plugin.SendGlobalMessage(target.Name + " is about to get vote-kicked, 1 more vote needed");

else if (remain > 0)

plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("your vote against " + target.Name + " was counted, " + remain + " more needed to kick"));

And here a plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, plugin.R("player.Name, your vote against " + target.Name + " was counted, " + remain + " more needed to kick

2. How can i achieve that the votekicker is only active when a certain condition is met, for instance. Create a custom-list with the admin names and disable the votekicker when an admin is online. If not online then enable.

figured most of it out but I'm still having an issue

Code:

if (limit.Data.issetBool(player.Name))
  {
     plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n% has been banned for using claymores after a kick!"));
     plugin.PBBanPlayerWithMessage(PBBanDuration.Temporary, player.Name, 15, plugin.R("You have been banned for 15 minutes for using claymores after a kick"));
     limit.Data.unsetBool(player.Name);
  }
  
  int count = (int) limit.Activations(player.Name);
   
  if (count <=  3)
  {
	plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, ("%p_n% , you have " + count + " of 3 Claymore kills - more and you will be killed and then kicked"));
    
  }
  else if (count == 4 || count == 5)
  {
	plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, ("%p_n%, you have NO Claymore kills left, more and you will be kicked!"));
	plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n% has been killed for excessive claymore use!"));
	plugin.KillPlayer(player.Name);
  }
  else if (count == 6)
  {
     plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n% has been kicked for excessive claymores%"));
     plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("You have been kicked for using too many claymores"));
	 
	if (!limit.Data.issetBool(player.Name))
		limit.Data.setBool(player.Name, true);
  }

Basically it's not displaying the player name, just displaying %p_n%. Is there something I need to include to go over the players name?

Thanks in advance.

1. RoundOver event sent, Change settings

2. Map loads, send restart command

That wouldn't fix the problem for continuing players. They still have to disconnect and rejoin.

 

Insane Limits OnRoundOver is based on the OnRoundOverTeamScores event in PRoCon. I'm not exactly sure what order the three RoundOver events arrive according to the BF3 protocol (you can find out for yourself by looking at your console.log), but basically at some point early on when players are being shown their ribbons and awards and the team scoreboard after a round, the event is sent and Insane Limits dispatches it immediately.

 

OnRoundStart definitely waits until the first player spawns. If all players leave at the end of the previous round, you don't get an OnRoundStart for the next round.

#1, your red code looks good, except it looks like the "); at the end got cut off. You can't send chat to a single player, but you can send to his squad.

 

#2 Use first_check Code for controlling when the limit is activated. There are several limits that use an admin list, you can steal code from there. Look at Admin Welcome Messages as a starting point. Not that it's first_check is an Expression, you want Code, which means you have to structure it as an if (Expression) { return false; } code. If the player.Name is in the admin list, return false, which will prevent the second_check Code from being executed.

 

figured most of it out but I'm still having an issue

 

Basically it's not displaying the player name, just displaying %p_n%. Is there something I need to include to go over the players name?

Thanks in advance.

That's a bug in Insane Limits. Use player.Name instead of %p_n% and it should work. Only %p_n% is bugged, every other replacement code works fine.

 

BTW, the limit.Activations count is reset every round, to answer your previous question. If you want use a count that goes across rounds, use limit.ActivationsTotal(player.Name). That count continues for as long as PRoCon runs and the plugin is enabled.

There is no way to do this as BF3 doesn't report whether or not it's an infantry kill or an vehicle kill

go to your procon folder/configs/BF3.def u can see there all the weapons codes

Right, look in BF3.def. The name in game is not always the same as what's used in PRoCon. Since I have an old copy of BF3 (R-15), you should double check my changes below:

 

Code:

( Regex.Match(kill.Weapon,  @"(M320|RPG-7|SMAW|Usas-12|SVD|SV98|SKS|M40A5|Model98B|M39|MK11|QBU-88|L96)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success )

Set the limit to evaluate for OnKill, and set the action to Kick

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

(true)

Set the second_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

( limit.Activations(player.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)) >  10 )

In this example, the rate is +10 kills, in 30 seconds. You may want to adjust this rate as you wish.

 

 

What if you wanted to check for the Headshot rate ? Well you can do that as well. In that case, just modify the first_check Expression to activate only for Headshots like this:

 

Code:

( kill.Headshot == true)

Guys I'm using the above limit and it works perfectly and has caught two blatant hackers since I enabled it. However tonight it got falsely triggered. Here is the code I'm using:-

Code:

( limit.Activations ( player.Name , TimeSpan.FromSeconds ( 60 ) ) > 20 )

I'm thinking of increasing the 20 kills to 25 kills or somehow adjust the code so the player has to be breach it twice before any action is taken. If I want to do the latter would the code b the following?

Code:

( limit.Activations >= 2 ( player.Name , TimeSpan.FromSeconds ( 60 ) ) > 20 )

Thanks!

It works pretty good for blatant hackers who come and try their C4 or Knife kills etc. I have actually caught and reported quite a few. The only thing to keep in mind is what kind of maps you run. I run this on 24/7 firestorm map and legit players cannot ever get that many kills within 10 seconds. The max you can get is if you blow up a full transport chopper and a full tank with say Javs and even then it comes to 8 kills max. If you're running Metro conq then you might have to try a different strategy.

I agree with Mandizzy. If you run a rotation of maps and you want a more accurate/smart limit, you should make it be adaptive to the current map and mode.

 

Singh400, your syntax is not correct and that's probably not the best way to do it anyway.

 

You can either make it adaptive to map/mode, or, you can add additional tests once the threshhold is met. For example, once they meet the 60>20 threshold, add some additional tests like this (second_check Code):

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations( player.Name , TimeSpan.FromSeconds ( 60 ) ) > 20) {
   if (player.TimeRound > (2*60) && player.KpmRound > 20 && player.KdrRound > 20.0) {
       // warn/kick/ban, whatever
   }
}

That says, after someone has gotten 20 kills in the last 60 seconds, check if they have been playing for more than 2 minutes and their KPM is over 20 and their KDR is over 20.

 

I'll post an example for how to make this check, or any check, adaptive by game map/mode later.

It depends on whether you have enabled custom storage or not.

 

If you are using default storage (use_custom_storage False)

 

Find your server's IP_Port.cfg file in procon/Configs. For example, if your server's IP is 192.40.1.200 and your port is 47700, look for 192.40.1.200_47700.cfg in procon/Configs.

 

What I do is just copy the entire Configs folder. This method is best if you have more than one server controlled by the same instance of PRoCon.

 

If you are using custom storage (use_custom_storage True)

 

If you leave the value of limits_file as "InsaneLimits" and your IP is 192.40.1.200 and your port is 47700, look for the .conf file in procon/Plugins/BF3/InsaneLimits_192.40.1.200_47700.conf.

 

If you changed limits_file to a path like, "/User/Mootart/My/Limits", look for your file at /User/Mootart/My/Limits.conf.

Here it is:

 

Adaptive Kill Rate Limit*

First Check Code:

Code:

List<String> bad_words = new List<String>();
bad_words.Add("nigger");
bad_words.Add("paki");
bad_words.Add("cunt");
bad_words.Add("nigga");
bad_words.Add("jew");

String[] chat_words = Regex.Split(player.LastChat, @"\s+");
    
foreach(String chat_word in chat_words)
	foreach(String bad_word in bad_words)
		if (Regex.Match(chat_word, "^"+bad_word+"$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
			plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, please stop using the term "+bad_word+"! This is your only warning!"));
				return true;

Second Check Code:

Code:

double count = limit.Activations(player.Name);

if (count == 2)
{
	plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("[Auto-Admin] Bad Language"));
	plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n% was kicked for using a prohibted word!"));
}

return false;

This limit triggers when using twat, prick & nubbed too. I don't know why though? Any ideas as to what I've done wrong?

Here's is the code I use:

limit_evaluation OnKill

first_check Expression

Code:

! Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(M1911|M9|M93R|Taurus|MP412REX|MP443|Glock|M67|870MCS|M1014|DAO-12|jackhammer|M26Mass|Melee|KNIFE|Siaga20k)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success

second_check Code

Code:

double count = limit.Activations(player.Name);

     if (count == 1)
         plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, Shotgun, Pistol, Knife only! Next time kick!"));
     else if (count > 1)
         plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("%p_n%, kicked you for using %w_n% on shotgun, pistol,knife only server"));
     
     return false;

Any ideas why it all of a sudden stopped working? I'm running Insane Limits 0.0.0.8-patch-3, the layer is located on a root server running 24/7. The only change was the daily restart of the server and Procon, but that never influenced any plugins or limits. I set debug level to 5 but there are no error messages displayed.

 

EDIT:

 

Nevermind, deleted the limit and added it again and now it works. Still strange that it stopped working.

If that happens again, either restart PRoCon or just disable and then re-enable Insane Limits or the specific limit and force a recompile. Sometimes it gets stuck and you have to reset it. No need to delete the limit.

It should trigger on all chat. If I type, "join my squad!" twice, I should be kicked.

 

The code is missing { braces } around the indented code blocks. The final "return true" happens for all chat, because it is not part of the previous code blocks.

 

To fix the code, it should be properly blocked, like this:

 

Code:

List<String> bad_words = new List<String>();
bad_words.Add("nigger");
bad_words.Add("paki");
bad_words.Add("cunt");
bad_words.Add("nigga");
bad_words.Add("jew");

String[] chat_words = Regex.Split(player.LastChat, @"\s+");
    
foreach(String chat_word in chat_words) 
{
	foreach(String bad_word in bad_words)
	{
		if (Regex.Match(chat_word, "^"+bad_word+"$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)
		{
			plugin.SendGlobalMessage(plugin.R("%p_n%, please stop using the term "+bad_word+"! This is your only warning!"));
			return true;
		}
	}
}

If code is indented, there should be { braces } around all the code inside the indent. There is a short hand notation for C# that allows you to drop the { braces } if the indented block only has one line of code. Unfortunately, in your case, the inner block has 2 lines of code. There is no compilation error to let you know you are missing braces, the code just fails in mysterious ways. Thus, as a best practice, always put braces around indented code blocks, even if there is only one line of code. You can never fall victim to this error if you always use braces.
