Title: Spawn (yell) messages based on Date/Time

Description: Looking to yell a message to a player, but only during a certain Date/Time? Maybe for EA's Double XP weekend? OR with a little modification, a countdown to a planned reboot, planned MapPack install (like Armored Fury, etc)?

 

For example: Between June 16th 3:01 AM (EST) and June 18th 2:59 AM (EST), yells on 2nd spawn:

"Enjoy EAs Double XP weekend! You have 13 hour(s) and 4 min(s) left to keep earning Double XP!

 

evaluation: OnSpawn

first_check: Expression

first_check_expression: true

second_check: code

second_check_code:

 

Code:

if (limit.ActivationsTotal(player.Name) == 2){ // On the 2nd spawn of the player
     DateTime dateStartDateTime = new DateTime(2012,6,16,3,1,0); // Start date of message (Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, Second)
     DateTime dateEndDateTime = new DateTime(2012,6,18,2,59,0); //End date of message (Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, Second) 
     if ((DateTime.Now > dateStartDateTime) && (DateTime.Now < dateEndDateTime)){ // Checks if NOW falls between your two dates
         TimeSpan tsHoursMinsLeft= dateEndDateTime - DateTime.Now; // Find the difference in time
         int differenceInHours = (int)  tsHoursMinsLeft.TotalHours; // Gets the difference in hours
         int differenceInMinutes = (int) Math.Ceiling((double)tsHoursMinsLeft.Minutes); // Gets the mins left
         String msgSpawn2 = "Enjoy EAs Double XP weekend!   You have " + differenceInHours + " hour(s) and " + differenceInMinutes + " min(s) left to keep earning Double XP!"; //The message you output
         plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msgSpawn2, "10", "player", player.Name); // Yells to the player that spawned
     }  
}

Notes: The dates/times above are based off EST.

 

I'm open to improvements! New at C# coding. Hope it's useful.

Changes from Fruity's code* and Singh400's code*:

1) Added the Close Quarters modes/maps

2) Accepts '@shownext', '@nextmap', '@nextround', and is case in-sensitive

3) Yells to the player who requested it

4) Tells you which Map/Mode is next if it's the last of that map. Otherwise, tells you how many rounds of that map.

5) Changed references from "Conquest 64" to "Conquest Large" to match Battlelog. Changed references from "DeathMatch" to "DM" per Battlelog.

 

Examples...

If you're currently on round 1 on Karkand... @shownext would yell:

"Up Next: Round 2/2 on Strike at Karkand (Rush) (then Gulf of Oman)"

 

If you're currently on round 2 on Karkand... @shownext would yell:

"Up Next: Gulf of Oman (Rush)"

 

(Currently InsaneLimits doesn't have the ability to pull/manipulate the maplist, so we can't tell how many rounds of a future map are, nor can we show players what maps are after the 'next' map. Will be happy to update this code if PapaCharlie9 allows improved MapList manipulation.)

 

Here's what you need to input into InsaneLimits...

 

evaluation: OnAnyChat

first_check: Expression

first_check_expression: player.LastChat.StartsWith("@")

second_check: Code

second_check_code:

Code:

if ( Regex.Match(player.LastChat, @"\s*[@](_:shownext|nextmap|nextround)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success ){
/* BF3 friendly map names, including B2K and CQ */
    Dictionary<String, String> Maps = new Dictionary<String, String>();
    Maps.Add("MP_001", "Grand Bazaar");

    Modes.Add("Domination0","Domination");
    Modes.Add("GunMaster0", "Gun Master");

	if (server.CurrentRound+1 == server.TotalRounds){
		if (Maps.ContainsKey(server.NextMapFileName) && Modes.ContainsKey(server.NextGamemode))
			plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", "Up Next: " + Maps[server.NextMapFileName] + " (" + Modes[server.NextGamemode] + ")");
	}
	else if (server.CurrentRound+1 < server.TotalRounds){

			plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", "Up Next: Round " + (server.CurrentRound+2) + "/" + server.TotalRounds + " on " + Maps[server.MapFileName] + " (" + Modes[server.Gamemode] + ")   (then " + Maps[server.NextMapFileName] + ")");
	}
}

Thanks Fruity and Singh400 for the original code!

Nice idea!

 

I think there are a couple of minor problems with the code though:

 

Code:

double differenceInHours = (int) tsHoursMinsLeft.TotalHours; // Gets the difference in hours
         int differenceInMinutes = tsHoursMinsLeft.Minutes; // Gets the mins left

I think this would be better:

 

 

Code:

int differenceInHours = (int)  tsHoursMinsLeft.TotalHours; // Gets the difference in hours
         int differenceInMinutes = (int) Math.Ceiling(tsHoursMinsLeft.Minutes); // Gets the mins left

You need the ceiling in order to get the fractional conversions to look sensible in the message, otherwise, you might get 0 hours and 0 minutes when there are 59 seconds left.

Fantastic idea! My only concern would be running it on my layer as that uses a completely different date/time format. Would that be an issue?

Singh, no clue. But, you can certainly output a "DateTime.Now" to see what your current date/time is. Then, simply adjust the "dateStartDateTime" and "dateEndDateTime" variables to mach. (In my example, I used EST dates/times. You might use a different one.)

 

For example: EA published 12:01 PST. I did a "DateTime.Now" and saw Procon thought it was EST (+3 hours), so I simply changed my dateStartDateTime to 3:01.

That's weird. I have almost identical code (uses TotalMinutes instead of Minutes) and it compiles fine for me. Maybe try a cast of the parameter?

 

Code:

int differenceInMinutes = (int) Math.Ceiling((double)tsHoursMinsLeft.Minutes); // Gets the mins left

I already find something usefull on this forum:

 

Code:

Match m = Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"/[^/]+$");
String wn = kill.Weapon;
if(m.Success) wn = m.Groups[1].Value;

I've used this solution for a while and it works and i get normal weapon names.

But sometimes there is no weapon name.

 

Can someone help me to improve this code so the weapon names are clean?

Set the evaluation to OnAnyChat.

 

Set first_check to this code:

Code:

if ( Regex.Match ( player.LastChat, @"(_:stuck)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase ).Success ) 
	{
		string msg1 = "Type @killme if you are stuck at the deploy screen" ;
		plugin.ServerCommand ( "admin.say" , msg1, "player" , player.Name ) ;
		plugin.ServerCommand ( "admin.yell" , msg1 , "8" , "player" , player.Name ) ;
	}
	
return true;

Set second_check to this code:

Code:

if ( Regex.Match ( player.LastChat, @"^\s*[@](_:slayme)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success )
	{
		string msg2 = "Killing " + player.Name + " in 3 seconds!" ;
		plugin.ServerCommand ( "admin.say" , msg2 , "player" , player.Name ) ;
		plugin.ServerCommand ( "admin.yell" , msg2 , "8", "player" , player.Name ) ;
		plugin.KillPlayer ( player.Name , 3 );
	}

return false;

The code to limit to three self-kills has been removed due to the fact it was working incorrectly.

Got round to do that now...

 

Code:

// On the 2nd spawn of the player
if ( limit.ActivationsTotal ( player.Name ) == 2 )
	{
	// Start date of message (MM, DD, YY, HH, MIN, SECS)
	DateTime dateStartDateTime = new DateTime(6,23,2012,8,1,0);
	
	// Start date of message (MM, DD, YY, HH, MIN, SECS)
	DateTime dateEndDateTime = new DateTime(6,25,2012,7,59,0);
	
		// Checks if NOW falls between your two dates
		if ( ( DateTime.Now > dateStartDateTime ) && ( DateTime.Now < dateEndDateTime ) )
			{
				// Find the difference in time
				TimeSpan tsHoursMinsLeft = dateEndDateTime - DateTime.Now;
				
				// Gets the difference in hours
				int differenceInHours = (int) tsHoursMinsLeft.TotalHours;
				
				// Gets the mins left
				int differenceInMinutes = (int) Math.Ceiling((double)tsHoursMinsLeft.Minutes);
				
				//The message you output
				String msgSpawn2 = "Enjoy BF3s double XP weekend! You have " + differenceInHours + " hour(s) and " + differenceInMinutes + " min(s) left to keep earning double XP!";
				
				// Yells to the player that spawned
				plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msgSpawn2, "10", "player", player.Name);
			}  
	}

Such a pain in the ass when the layers has a US date/time format!

It allows the player to kill themselves no more than 3 times per round.

Clever. I'm going to steal your technique of putting the chat trigger hinting in first_check and the actual command processing in second_check.

Hint: Google "msdn C# XXX", where XXX is whatever class or function you are using, like DateTime. I rarely fail to find what I want there. You can get UTC as well as local time for DateTime, plus there is a converter function TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime to convert from one tz to another.

 

Just make sure you set the documentation version for .Net to 3.5 at the top of the MSDN page.

I have my moments. I'm getting good at following the logic. But I had REAL trouble with the Regex.Match function. At one point it would kill me instantly if I typed anything

 

Got it in the end though. Baby steps

Yeah, I've come across that a few times. Thanks though. I ended up just cheating, and doing plugin.ConsoleWrite(DateTime.Now) looking at the format (in this case MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS) and changing the values appropriately.

Turns out it prefers YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS even when the layer date format is US-style.

 

So I've edited my code accordingly:-

Code:

// On the 2nd spawn of the player
if ( limit.ActivationsTotal ( player.Name ) == 2 )
	{
	// Start date of message (YY, MM, DD, HH, MIN, SECS)
	DateTime dateStartDateTime = new DateTime(2012,6,23,8,1,0);
	
	// Start date of message (YY, MM, DD, HH, MIN, SECS)
	DateTime dateEndDateTime = new DateTime(2012,6,25,7,59,0);
	
		// Checks if NOW falls between your two dates
		if ( ( DateTime.Now > dateStartDateTime ) && ( DateTime.Now < dateEndDateTime ) )
			{
				// Find the difference in time
				TimeSpan tsHoursMinsLeft = dateEndDateTime - DateTime.Now;
				
				// Gets the difference in hours
				int differenceInHours = (int) tsHoursMinsLeft.TotalHours;
				
				// Gets the mins left
				int differenceInMinutes = (int) Math.Ceiling((double)tsHoursMinsLeft.Minutes);
				
				//The message you output
				String msgSpawn2 = "Enjoy BF3s double XP weekend! You have " + differenceInHours + " hour(s) and " + differenceInMinutes + " min(s) left to keep earning double XP!";
				
				// Yells to the player that spawned
				plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msgSpawn2, "10", "player", player.Name);
			}

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

double kills = player[kill.Weapon].KillsTotal;
         double headshots = player[kill.Weapon].HeadshotsTotal;
         double headshots_percent = Math.Round((headshots / kills)*100.0, 2);
         
         if (headshots_percent > 90 && kills > 30)
         {
             plugin.ConsoleWrite(plugin.R("%p_n% has " + headshots_percent + " headshots percent with "+ kill.Weapon + " after " + kills + " kills"));
             return true;
         }
         
         return false;

Set these action specific parameters:

Code:

kick_message = %p_n%, you were kicked for suspicious headshots percentage with %w_n%

This feature (per-weapon stats) is not extensively tested. You should adjust the conditions to test, and see if it works as you expect it. If you are going to test it on a populated server, make sure it's on virtual so you can adjust the values until you feel comfortable that it will not kick everyone.

Is it possible to add certain weapons to this limit? IE F2000|FAMAS|PP-19 for example.

Different ban types explained:

Code:

//Simple Kick
plugin.KickPlayerWithMessage(player.Name, plugin.R("Reason"));

//EA Ban by player name - permanent ban
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.Name, EABanDuration.Permanent, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player name - round ban
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.Name, EABanDuration.Round, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player name - temp ban for 10 minutes
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.Name, EABanDuration.Temporary, player.Name, 10, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player IP address - permanent ban
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.IPAddress, EABanDuration.Permanent, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player IP address - round ban
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.IPAddress, EABanDuration.Round, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player IP address - temp ban for 10 minutes
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.IPAddress, EABanDuration.Temporary, player.Name, 10, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player EA GUID - permanent ban
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.EA_GUID, EABanDuration.Permanent, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player EA GUID - round ban
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.EA_GUID, EABanDuration.Round, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

//EA Ban by player EA GUID - temp ban for 10 minutes
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.EA_GUID, EABanDuration.Temporary, player.Name, 10, "Reason");

// PB Ban (all player details recorded) - permanent ban
plugin.PBBanPlayerWithMessage(PBBanDuration.Permanent, player.Name, 0, "Reason");

// PB Ban (all player details recorded) - temp ban for 10 minutes
plugin.PBBanPlayerWithMessage(PBBanDuration.Temporary, player.Name, 10, "Reason");

I can do you one better. I copied the post and promoted it to a top level thread, here:

Set limit to evaluate OnInterval, and set action to None

 

Set first_check to use this Code snippet:

 

Code:

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

map_names.Add("MP_003");
map_names.Add("MP_011");

if (map_names.Contains(server.MapFileName))
   plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "false");
else
  plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "true");

return false;

For this example, vehicles will be disabled when map is "MP_003", or "MP_011", which are the files names for Tehran Highway, and Seine Crossing. For all other maps, the vehicles will be allowed.

 

This is the full list of map files names for BF3, (including Back to Karkand expansion)

 

• MP_001 - Grand Bazaar
• MP_003 - Teheran Highway
• MP_007 - Caspian Border
• MP_011 - Seine Crossing
• MP_012 - Operation Firestorm
• MP_013 - Damavand Peak
• MP_017 -Noshahr Canals
• MP_018 - Kharg Island
• MP_Subway - Operation Metro
• XP1_001 - Strike At Karkand
• Xp1_002 - Gulf of Oman
• XP1_003 - Sharqi Peninsula
• XP1_004 - Wake Island

Note that since this only disables the vehicles after the map has loaded, the first set of vehicles might spawn. But, after that, they should not spawn anymore. I haven't tested it to verify, but I suspect that's what would happen.

 

Finally, this is just a very crude way of doing Per-Map settings. Sure it will work, but if there is already a plugin that specializes on that area, and already does the job well, you should use that.

Is OnInterval the same as OnIntervalPlayers? That's all i have in the dropdown list with OnInterval in it.

Scroll further down, and you will see OnIntervalServer. Select that one.

Do I leave evaluation interval set at 30? It didn't mention anything about that for the limit.

30-60 should be fine. I'd put it somewhere around 45.

 

As it mentions in the original post, this isn't a very clean way of achieving this. Because during the first load the vehicles will load. It could be achieved a bit more cleanly depending on what other plugins you are using.

 

Also, I think disabling vehicle spawn will change your server from Normal to Custom. Perhaps the solution would be to increase the vehicle respawn time to 1000% or something ridiculous like that.

map_names.Add("MP_001");

map_names.Add("MP_011");

map_names.Add("XP1_001");

 

if (map_names.Contains(server.MapFileName))

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnDelay", "99999");

else

plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnDelay", "99999");

 

return false;

Was running in virtual mode and this player joined in, 1ManZ3rg - the limit kicked but didn't ban cause of virtual mode. Checking player stats, the SPM states 726 !!! Is the SPM even working ? I'm running the .8 patch 3 version.
