I change the vars for max players on my rush server to 40 which is the max amount of players for my server. The challenge is that it still kicks people after rounds, but apparently only the first time they connect. Do you know why this is happening? UMM has only one map rotation with all maps playing rush with players set from 0 to 40. Vars have been updated to reflect 40 players.

 

Plugin has been great otherwise. Thanks!

I have no idea based on the details you've provided. And just FYI, the plugin never kicks anyone. If people are being kicked, it's the server's fault.

The server seems to kick people down to the 32 player mark and/or send players into waiting queue after a map change.

I gotta say your plugin is basiclly perfect other than 1 minor detail which if you added would be brilliant. You made an Adaptive Ticket Count plugin which works great but not spot on, let me explain.

 

The server I run is on a 3 map cycle 1-7 150 tickets 8-15 500 tickets 16-32 1000 ticket setup. I run 3 maps onit caspian being the first, then Nosh and finally Kharg. When the player amount goes over 15 and the map cycles the Adaptive ticket count plugin sometimes gets confused and puts the tickets over 1500 which ends up being a massive game on 1 map.. more than I would like. So I have made presets for 500 and 1000 tickets and applied them to each map on each maplist (again another feature of the plugin which is brilliant). I noticed on your adaptive ticket count you had 2 options, percentage and actual ticket count, if you added this ability into your ultimate map manager it would be brilliant.

 

Also can I surgest having an empty server feature in your Ultimate map manager, maybe it says if server is empty for however minutes then switch to a certain maplist etc.. if you added all this into it then it truely will live upto its name and really be "Ultimate"

 

Again like ive said before brilliant work so far you truely are thinking about what the public want, well done

The reason Adaptive Ticket Count has an option to calculate the actual number of tickets is because it's a general setting being applied to a large number of maps. You could essentially do this yourself in UMM by applying different presets to different maps, since presets are map-specific. I realize that's a lot of work, but integrating the "actual number of tickets" calculation into UMM would be quite a feat itself, as the plugin would be doing a lot more than just applying the settings directly from the preset. I'm not saying I'll never do it, but I don't think it will be any time soon.

 

I believe your second request can be achieved with the Automatic Round Restarter plugin. It allows you to return to the first map in your list when the server becomes empty, and it does work well with UMM.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it. I don't think the update will be out until next week, though.

Not sure if you meant a Procon update, or the patch. The release date & time for the patch is March 29th at about 6:00am Eastern.

Ahh, I got it. The PRoCon update is probably in preparation for the new map pack or something. Thanks for the clarification.

My guess is that Procon needs an update because some of the map names are changing. DICE is adding new filters (actually already have server side and in Battlelog) for the 'Assault' modes.

 

Not new maps, but a name change.

 

DICE says they wanted to do this now to keep everything consistent going forward. There will be at least 4 new maps released in June, with more to follow this fall and winter.

 

Until now there has been some confusion with what the difference is between Conquest and Conquest Assault. By renaming some of the maps we already have, they hope to eleviate that confusion.

 

My guess is that your plugin will be impacted by this.

Not the Mapnames, only the mode-names are changing.

Conquest Large - ConquestLarge0

Conquest Large Assault - ConquestAssaultLarge0

 

Not sure if a procon update is nessessary or if the plugin can write this directly into the maplist, but i am sure falon is going to update as fast as possible.

Not a new mode, just a name change - see Panther's post two posts above yours...

Have you updated the BF3.def file? If not, that's your problem. You can download it here: http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...ll=1#post45277*

Sounds good. Yeah, the version on the layer server must be updated, as well.

The infantry only conquest map is time based.

 

When the server reaches enough people to switch to IO conquest, the map list is loading tehran highway on TDM and is making the pre-set Infantry Only. The thing is, tehran highway is not in my infantry only conquest map list.

 

Any idea why this would be happening?

It's probably related to the new server patch. Did you update your PRoCon BF3.def file (also on your layer server if you use one)?

Have you updated the BF3.def file on your local PRoCon and layer server? If not, that's your problem. You can download it here: http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...ll=1#post45277*
