You don't mean tickets, you mean what the kill goal is, right?

 

Try this:

 

OnAnyChat

 

first_check Expression

 

Code:

( Regex.Match(player.LastChat, "tickets", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success )

second_check Code

 

Code:

int goal = Convert.ToInt32(server.RemainTickets(player.TeamId));
plugin.SendTeamMessage(player.TeamId, "Your team needs " + goal + " more kills to win!");
return false;

If you want a yell instead of chat:

 

Code:

int goal = Convert.ToInt32(server.RemainTickets(player.TeamId));
plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", "Your team needs " + goal + " more kills to win!", "15", "team", player.TeamId.ToString());
return false;

Based upon whether that player was a clan member it would kick them or let them stay?

 

 

I'm getting a little close but I'm having some issues like whether or not I should use a foreach with an on join or an if and what exactly the parameters should be to check the clan tag itself?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sure, that is definitely possible.

 

The check for the clan tag looks like this (first_check Expression):

 

Code:

(player.Tag == "RUF")

The rest is in second_check code.

 

You don't have to use a foreach. You just have to use a List. Put all the real members names in a list like this:

 

Code:

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

RUFMembers.Add("Dudenell"); // just their soldier name, not the tag
RUFMembers.Add("NextGuy");
...
RUFMembers.Add("LastGuy");

Then the test looks like this:

 

Code:

if (!RUFMembers.Contains(player.Name)) {
   // Naughty impersonator, punish him here
   ...
}

List.Contains checks to see if the item is already in the list. If it is not, it returns false.

 

Of course, this means you have to update the RUFMembers.Add code every time your roster changes (add or drop). Kind of a pain. You could write code to read it from a file, but I've never done that and am not sure how to even start!

Is this will be ok: ?

Doing it OnKill will not work for next round. It works for this round, over and over again many times a second.. Do it OnRoundOver and it should work fine.

 

BTW, you know that gameModeCounter is a percentage always, right? So "350" means 350% of default tickets, not 350 tickets. The value 50 means 50%, you really only want half normal tickets on Conquest?

It depends on what you mean by kill streak? Do you mean the Battlelog stat for Kill Streak Bonus? Or do you mean multiple kills in one shot in the current round?

 

Not sure what "interest" headshots are. If you mean setting a limit on the rate of headshots in the current round, look at this example:

Thank you PapaCharlie9.

Yes I know about %.

We want to have 350 ticks on TDM maps and 750 ticks on Conquest Metro map.

We have set 350% ticks on our server config.

What values should I set for this code ?

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations() > 5) return false;

/* TDM maps tickets */
String teamdeathmatch = "___";

/* Conquest maps tickets */
String conquest = "___";

/* If map is a conquest  */
if (server.Gamemode == "ConquestSmall0")
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", conquest);
    }
else 
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", teamdeathmatch);
    }

return false;

EDIT: we have spend 3 hours on it and we can't set this plugin to work ! It just doesn't ! PLEASE HELP

Since gameModeCounter is a percentage, the number of tickets you get depends on which map you run. To get exactly 750 tickets in Conquest means figuring out the base value and dividing it into 750 and then calculate the percent. For example, if the base tickets for a map is 300, to make it 750 tickets you need to divide 750 by 300, or 2.5 and then multiply by 100, so 250 is the value to use for gameModeCounter for that specific map.

 

Do some research and figure out what the base values of your maps are. I think Metro Conquest Small is 100, but I'm not sure.

 

Then, if the base values are different per map, you'll need to have different settings for each map that is different, like:

 

Code:

String tdmKharg = "250"; // 750 / base 300 = 2.50
String tdmTehran = "234"; // 750 / base 320 = 2.34
...

Then test for each map name:

 

Code:

/* If map is a conquest  */
if (server.Gamemode == "ConquestSmall0")
    {
        plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", conquest);
    }
else 
    {
        if (server.MapFileName == "MP_018") { // Kharg
            plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", tdmKharg);
        } else if (server.MapFileName == "MP_003") { // Tehran Highway
            plugin.ServerCommand("vars.gameModeCounter", tdmKharg);
        } else if (...) { ... }
    }

return false;

Or, just use Ultimate Map Manager*.

Hi, PapaCharlie.

I am thinking of killstrikbonus from Battlelogstat.

With Headshots figured out. Thank you.

I've never used the player.KillStreakBonus value, so I'm not sure exactly what it is or how to test it. You can do some experimentation by using this limit (requires that you have plugin logging enabled and you can access it):

 

OnJoin

 

first_check Expression

Code:

(true)

second_check Code

Code:

if (limit.ActivationsTotal() > 1) return false;
plugin.ConsoleWrite(player.FullName + " kill streak bonus is " + player.KillStreakBonus.ToString("F2"));

Copy and paste some plugin.log output here and we can go to the next step. I would need to know the range of values. Is it just a count of the number of kills, or is it number of points? If number of points, how many points are awarded per kill? I'd need to know that to know how to convert the value to kills, or to define reasonable limit values.

 

As for headshots figured for kill streak bonus, I don't know how to do that or if it is even possible.

(player.Tag == "YOURTAGSHERE")

next set the second_check to this code:

PLEASE NOTE YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOURTAGSHERE TO YOUR CLAN TAGS

Code:

if(plugin.isInList(player.Name, "member_list")){
	plugin.PRoConChat("ADMIN > " + player.Name + " is a clan member and has joined the server");
	}
	else{
	plugin.PRoConChat("ADMIN > " + player.Name + " is not a clan member and has been kicked!");
	plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("YOURTAGSHERE tags are for clan members only!"));
	}

after this you are going to create a new_list

in this new list you will change the name to member_list

 

in the member list add each clan members name (battlelog name) separated by commas. EX:

 

dudenell, adnoble11, UMPA-Vipor, _UMPA_V4por, Abiosis, -Black1Flag-

Don't forget to add a plugin.SendGlobalMessage or yell (see separate thread) someplace. The PRoConChat function just logs text to the chat.log file, it doesn't actually show in the in-game chat box.

Thanks in advance.

Regarding the M26, see this thread and reply to it if you are interested:

BF3: Idea for countering R20 M26 exploit/OP by plugin*

 

For details about yells, see this thread:

Insane Limits: How to yell and how to send chat to one player*

Keep in mind that a player can't see a yell if they are dead and in the killcam or Deploy screen. They can see chat in the Deploy screen, though. So you should probably always do both chat and yell.

 

Doing a delay is a little tricky. The easiest way to do it is to wait until the player has had a certain number of spawns and then trigger the yell. So for example, if you want to trigger on the second spawn, you would write this limit:

 

Evaluate OnSpawn. Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

true

Set second_check to this Code

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations() == 2) {
    String msg = "Warning: do not use underslung M26 on this server!";
    plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "player", player.Name);
    plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "15", "player", player.Name);
}
return false;

This is rigged to show every round. If you only want to show it once per join, change limit.Activations to limit.ActivationsTotal.

 

Question: what is it you plan to do about it? Kick if someone uses it? How would you know? The warning isn't very useful if there is no admin around to do something about it.

    String msg = "NOTICE: USING THE M26 WITH HEAVYBARREL MIGHT GET YOU KICKED/BANNED OF GLITCH USING!";
    plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "player", player.Name);
    plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "10", "player", player.Name);
}
return false;

Do i miss something in the code ?

 

I want players to think about the M26, with this yell at the start they might think twice before using the M26. It's not

failsafe , but its a start to prevent spamming with the M26. Although we allow the use of the "normal" M26, only not in combination with the heavybarrel.

 

Thanks again....

The key for getting the added damage effects of the M26 Mass is using it with the underslung rail. When you kill someone with the M26 Mass with the underslung rail, the kill will register in procon as a kill with the rifle and NOT the M26. If you use the M26 Mass freehand without the underslung rail, the limiter/check will work, however, that case is different and doesn't create such a huge damage increase.

According to the R-21 patch notes, say to a single player isn't working yet. I'm not sure why that would affect the yell, though. You can wait for the server patch and try again later.

 

Or if you don't want to wait, try changing the admin.say line to these two lines:

 

Code:

plugin.SendSquadMessage(player.TeamId, player.SquadId, msg);
plugin.ConsoleWrite("Warned " + player.Name + " with: " + msg);

Make sure you have Enabled plugin logging. You should see the "Warned" line in your plugin.log. Make sure the mode is virtual_mode False (at the top) and Enabled in the limit.

It's not possible for PRoCon to detect an M26 kill. See the discussion here:

#1. Only some stats are gathered by Insane Limits. It doesn't gather all the same stats that bf3stats.com does. The list of stats is here:

 

http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...ll=1#post32809*

 

In the section called "Player, Killer, Victim Objects".

 

#2. Yes, you can look for EA GUID and log any information you want.

 

Give me all the details of exactly what you want, where you want the log, what stats, etc., and I'll do an example for you. Be exact, don't force me to guess at what you want.

Yep, thx, I've read the list before asked my question. Let me re-phrase it: Can be another level of stat gathering added and what is required to progress? I understand that there may be a lot of reasons "why not. (For example) some stats EA would not share with 3rd party or share exclusively, or some performance limitations, or something else.

 

Obvious, that extra stats will make cheat-detection more automate, that is, in principal, what I wish to achieve.

That is easy, thanks for you willing to help.

 

Pre-conditions are the following:

1. We have report of potentially suspicious player behavior, EA GUID and PB GUID are known.

2. The player was not captured by any of implemented Insane cheat-detecting filter

3. We want to watch the player, and assume that admin can not be online 24/7, but on alert

 

What filter should do:

a) have an input for watched GUID (either)

look through any mechanism (console log, Battlelog) to match this GUID

c) alert admin about the match (that, I think, can be done same was as described in Admin Request Notification example, TaskbarNotify/Mail)

 

I understand that a) and can be easily done using Insane capabilities almost similar way how it works with auto-bans. Unfortunately programming is my missing skill.

 

Thanks
