you put the first maplist 0-16 and next 12-64

 

wont the plugin get confused between 12 and 16 as to what maplist you want?

No. It will stay on maplist 1 until 16 players are reached, then after switching to maplist 2, it will stay until less than 12 players are reached.

I want that same. Is it possible to do this with this plugin?

That would be awesome! I sent in my donation, looking forward to trying this out.

BF4 will be out soon and I'll be porting it over as soon as the tools are available. I may make changes or add new features at that time, depending upon what the needs are for BF4.

This plugin is a must for BF4, hoping you don't have much hassle converting it for BF4.

Wow that's cool! Thanks for reporting this!

 

Have you had a chance to see it in action and change maps according tot he map list you've edited?

I removed the plugin completely from BF4 and left it in BF3 only. If you're going to try to make it work with BF4, I would make a copy of your Configs folder from ProCon first, in case this crashes your ProCon and you lose your all of your settings. I had a back up and was able to restore everything in a few minutes.

 

Waiting for Falcon to update this awesome plugin when he gets a chance.

I'll gladly donate again should falcontx decide to make UMM compatible with BF4.

yes, i tested this last night and our server was running fine with it. I run 0-16 players with dom and 16 + with larger map modes.

 

steps i took to make it work

1. install in the proper folders (bf4 instead of bf3)

2. set all the settings as i always have

3. select (create a map list based on current map list) in "add a new map list_"

4. edit settings for each map list

5. turn on

 

so far i haven't had any problems with it.

 

I am running version 1.2.1.0

 

but yes, back up any configs you may have prior to doing anything as you always should before updating/editing/ or breathing

 

hope this helps someone.

If I can't find anything wrong, I may just go ahead and fix the "Create an empty map list" bug and email it out. If there really are legitimate issues, I'm going to need more detail from people, though. Please read this post before reporting a bug:

showthread....a-plugin-issue*

 

Without all of that info and the proper logs, there's not much I can do to diagnose your problem if I can't replicate it.

The reason UMM was crashing my ProCon: when I transferred my BF3 plugin configurations to the BF4 plugins, the BF3 UMM configurations caused the BF4 UMM screen to only partially load. Thereafter, when I tried modifying it for BF4, it just made things worse and resulted in crashing ProCon.

 

If you're transferring your BF3 UMM configurations to BF4 UMM, you will need to delete all of the UMM lines that relate to any UMM BF3 Map Lists from the specific IP.cfg (located in ProCon/Configs) before you load UMM for BF4. I was able to preserve all of my other settings and presets within UMM (although they might need modification once DICE fixes its variables). It's probably easier for most people to just start fresh.

 

Right now, UMM is not crashing my ProCon after I performed the above.

 

I have not tested map lists yet, but others have and say it is working.

I've setup a rotation and custom preset for Rush in BF4. It works for the first round, which I set to 150 tickets, but when the round finishes and it rotates sides the ticket count goes back to the default of 75. Here is what I have in the custom preset:

 

# Custom Preset: Rush 64 Player

vars.gameModeCounter 200

vars.roundTimeLimit 0

 

The rest of the game types I set it back to the defaults of:

 

# Custom Preset: Normal Defaults

vars.gameModeCounter 100

vars.roundTimeLimit 0

 

I'm wondering if there is somewhere else that might be executing a "vars.gameModeCounter" command between rounds?

Nothing in UMM is issuing that command. I suppose it's possible that another plugin is, but I doubt it. On the Adaptive Ticket Count thread, a guy just posted, "Correct me if I am wrong but it seems Rush is locked to default tickets no matter how you set it. Like if you set vars.gameModeCounter 200 on a ruch only server it will still only load up with the default tickets."

 

Do you think that maybe the server is doing this of it's own accord? Have you tried sending this command manually? Maybe the command has to be sent between every round? I'm not sure... just speculating at this point.

That's what I'm thinking... is that even possible to send the command between every round?

Things work fine when UMM is forced to load a map with a new preset. It's when it goes from Rush to Rush for example that it doesn't re-trigger.

 

Everything worked fine during testing on an empty server, which was even stranger. So maybe it has something to do with NFO control panel, I'm using their adaptive server size option.

Well, of course it's possible.. Find this code: (should be around line 1696 or so)

Code:

private void CheckPreset() {
            if (this.m_strCurrentPreset != this.m_LMaplists[this.m_iCurrentMapList].Maplist[this.m_iNextMapIndex].Preset)
            {

and change it to:

Code:

private void CheckPreset() {
            if (true)
            {

This will send the preset commands in between every round. Normally it only sends them when the preset has changed.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Everything works fine testing on the empty server when I force the next round to load in Procon, so hopefully that is it. I'll report back.

Hmm.. this is a new one, I can't change the max beyond 64 in the plugin.

 

[02:34:44] UltimateMapManager: WARN -> 65 players. No map list is available for this number of players; keeping current map list.
