Once the 30 player limit for Rush is hit, then it goes to the Conquest rotation. My problem is the switching, when it does the rotation change the screen in-game goes black and one of two things happen:

- the server in-game screen stay black for about 2 minutes and then the map starts loading or

- the in-game screen stays black for 4 minutes or more and I have to restart the server.

 

Have this come to your attention yet?

We are sure that UMM is causing the issue, because the server has been running fine when the plugin was not enabled. Also it only happens when there is a switch to a different map rotation, in our case when 30 players is reached the plugin runs another map list and when it makes the change the black screen happens.

 

Also this has happened when the first version of the plugin for BF4 came out so we had to disable it and wait for a couple of updates hoping the issue would be fixed.

 

Nope. I've never had that reported before.

Well this is not the first time this has happened, we have no problems when the plugin is not running, but we consider UMM as one of our most important core plugins at Pure Battlefield and we hope we can resolve this if possible.

 

Are there any suggestions you can provide? I can provide you with any data needed as well.

So, if sending those commands is causing the server to act odd, I don't think there's much I can do about it.

Same answer as before. All game modes and maps are pulled from PRoCon. Update the BF4.def file on your layer server.

That might work. Your local copy of PRoCon should have the latest version in the Configs folder, so you could just upload that to your layer server.

It doesn't create a maplist from the current maplist. If I try to the plugin screen turns white and doesn't return :/

 

Heeeelp

Clear all of the UMM settings from your config file (the one named after the IP address of your server) and start over.

even if i try to make a new empty maplist, the screen turnes white :/

 

It worked very well before i updated BF4.def

This way, we could add maps and have them rotate with the different game modes. It would be nice to be able to put in a priority of how often a game mode was put in. An exclusion list would be awesome too. The plugin would have to have a "manual map mode" which would be exactly the same as now, and an "Automated Map Management", which is what I am proposing.

 

For example, to help describe what I think would be awesome...

 

MAPS:

Zavod 311

Lancang Dam

Flood Zone

Golmud Railway

Paracel Storm

Operation Locker

Hainan Resort

Siege of Shanghai

Rogue Transmission

Dawnbreaker

 

GAME MODES:

Conquest Large | Rounds 1 | Preset - Hardcore | Preset After Level Load - Hardcore | Priority 1

Rush | Rounds 2| Preset - Tickets 300 | Preset After Level Load - Hardcore | Priority 2

Obliteration | Rounds 1 | Preset - Hardcore | Preset After Level Load - Hardcore | Priority 3

 

EXCLUSIONS:

Paracel Storm - Rush

Golmud Railway - Obliteration

 

Then it would essentially rotate between maps and game modes without repeating maps/gamemodes and have more Conquest maps than Rush and more Rush than Obliteration.... Anyays, this way we could add/remove new maps to the rotation without having to redo the entire map list in Procon, which can be a chore.

 

Let me know if this is possible :ohmy:

This would be less of a modification and more of a completely different plugin. The current plugin utilizes discrete map lists that are changed in and out as needed. What you're proposing would be better described as a random map list generator. You're essentially providing some criteria and then the plugin would generate map lists that meet that criteria on demand. All of this is possible, of course, but it's not something that I have the time to devote to at the moment.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html
