Im confused as to how this @voteban works.

 

Above, I commented on how I thought it worked, but I wasn't informed that I had it wrong again, which is what it appears now.

 

Please confirm if my current understanding is correct:

 

 

1) Start Vote Ban Number: this is how many people need to type @voteban PlayerName before the vote even starts, but the first player only must include a reason by typing @voteban PlayerName REASON

 

If this is set to 3 with 10 people on the server together with a pass percentage of 30%, when three people type @voteban PlayerName to start the vote (with the first one typing @voteban PlayerName Reason), will it automatically pass or will the same three players also need to type @yes thereafter to comply with the pass percentage number? Put differently, do the first three @voteban PlayerName votes count also towards the number @yes votes required thereafter?

 

 

2) Vote Ban Pass Percentage: This is X percent of total players in the server who also need to vote @yes for a vote to succeed.

Example: In a server full with 64 players, if this is set to 40%, then 25 players (or 26 if 25.6 is rounded up) need to vote @yes to ban someone.

 

If that's the case for 2) above, then how does @no come into play and what effect do @no votes even have on a vote? Does one @no vote cancel out a vote of @yes to ban?

 

 

 

My apparent misunderstandings:

 

I thought number 1) meant you needed that many people to all type @voteban PlayerName Reason before the vote even started, but apparently only the first one needs to include a reason.

 

I also thought number 2) meant you needed X percent of players who were voting to vote @yes versus @no, and it was not dependent on how many people total are in the server, but rather only on how many people vote. I thought this was the case because otherwise I can't see how @no votes even matter. But after never having one voteban succeed, and just witnessing one where it asked for 37 players to vote @yes, I realized this isn't how this even works. I had it set to 70%, thinking if 10 total people voted @yes and @no, as long as 7 of them or 70% voted @yes with 3 voting @no, it would pass.

Your understanding of this one is spot on! And yes, the 3 players that put in the "@voteban" requests will still need to send a "@yes" for their vote to count.

 

2) Vote Ban Pass Percentage: This is X percent of total players in the server who also need to vote @yes for a vote to succeed.

Example: In a server full with 64 players, if this is set to 40%, then 25 players (or 26 if 25.6 is rounded up) need to vote @yes to ban someone.

Correct again. Voting no really has no effect. It's just there for people to vote it if they please just for visuals. It has no effect on the outcome of the votes whatsoever. All that matters are how many yes votes are given. If a server is full with 64 players and the pass percentage is @ 40% then once the 26th yes vote is sent, the vote passes.

With Timsad's plugin, you can configure it to accept any variation of yes votes. So @vote yes !yes !yes !voteyes !yesvote is all accepted :biggrin:

 

The only complaint now from some players, is that they are now getting kicked within seconds. :P For that reason, I had to up the percentage of yes votes. FUNNY!

 

Thanks Tim!

Only those who have admin accounts on the Procon instance running the plugin. It checks if the user account is able to log in then gives them immunity and also allows them to use !cancelvote. Reserved Slots lists aren't used.

We've just installed this plug-in on to our servers (Procon = 1.3.0.0, plug-in = V 1.5.0), but unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be working at all :sad:!!!!!

 

It is not responding to !votekick [name] [reason], @votekick [name] [reason], !voteban [name] [reason], or @voteban [name] [reason] in any way at all. Additionally, since enabling the plug-in, it is not generating any server messages at all either.

 

It seems to start up OK when Procon has been restarted, ( [18:54:54] OK CAdaptiveServerSize CInGameAdmin CSpambot CTrueBalancerBF3 CVoteBanBF3 ).......But then, nothing after that.

 

I have enabled the hack cry responder, the voteban, and votekick options, and set up the various thresholds and settings as per the authors advised presets.

 

Our Procon runs with Sandbox mode enabled to allow TrueBalancer to function properly.

 

I FTP'd the .cs file up onto the Procon server, and restarted Procon. I've tried several restarts of our Procon server, and tried disabling, then enabling the plug-in itself several times also, but still it does not appear to work.

 

YES!!! I have asked for people to test it in game, and nothing!!

 

Any hints, tips, or advise please guys? As this plug-in isn't functioning at all!!

 

Regards,

Wolfy.

I've got the same problem here. I've got these problems since I've moved over to G-Portal. Before I had my server at NGZ and no problems. And now it won't work anymore. :/

Can you tell me if it will even respond to the "Hack Cry Responder"? Type "hack" in chat 3 times (or however many times you have the repsonder set to) and tell me if it sends a server message.

Yep, it's responding to this. But votekick and voteban aren't working.

I also changed server IPs lately and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with these weird messages showing up now.

 

Thanks

Just "!voteban" brings up instructions in the chat on how to voteban.

 

If I do the same thing with just "!votekick," it randomly selects a player to votekick. It should come up with a message on how to use !votekick

 

Latest Procon and version 1.5 of this plugin.

You are correct. It's something that I overlooked in the last update.

The vote seems to stick though so when the player returns to the server the vote is still active and the plugin starts requesting votes again.

 

eg Full 20 slot server, !voteban initiated by 2 players typing the !voteban command, server is full and thus needs 5 !yes votes (25%), it only gets 2 votes thus the vote fails. However, when the player who had the vote initiated against them returns to the server, the plugin picks up on this and requests 3 further votes.

 

For me, I would like it so if the vote fails it is wiped and thus a whole new vote would be needed. I can't see anything in the settings about this. If you need logs just let me know which. I must note that this is on MOH:Warfighter so know that the plugin does not officially support the game.

 

many thanks

using this plugin for months now and I just noticed a bug.

We only use Votekick, so we disabled voteban in the settings.

 

Look what happens if somebody types !voteban playername:

Code: 

2013-06-17 14:00:49 	   AKWaterman 	   Global 	   !voteban potato-gate highping
2013-06-17 14:00:52 	   Server 	   Global 	   Vote Ban is currently disabled! There must be at least !votekick players for Vote Ban to be enabled.
After that he tried a votekick...

 

Code: 

2013-06-17 14:01:07 	   AKWaterman 	   Global 	   !votekick potato-gae highping
2013-06-17 14:01:09 	   Server 	   Global 	   Vote Ban is currently disabled! There must be at least potato-gate players for Vote Ban to be enabled.
2013-06-17 14:01:10 	   AKWaterman 	   Global 	   !yes
2013-06-17 14:01:12 	   Server 	   Global 	   Vote Kick is currently disabled! There must be at least !yes players for Vote Kick to be enabled.
Server was full. The tresshold for votekick to be active is 8 players.

 

So, this does not really make sense, right?

:biggrin:

 

 

EDIT: Hmmmz... seems to be working okay now... LOL

I honestly have no idea what that's about. It's definitely not my plugin throwing that error.

    • 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

      I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
