Auto lock server script?

[Flosstradamus]

Any idea how this is done ? Reason im asking is during a restart when people start piling in the verifysignature=2 checks each persons pbo and we get a shit ton of errors/server crash.

 

I need it to lock every 5 players and then unlock the server automatically.

i think you can do this with BEC but im not sure

[MGT]

BEC - Battleye Extended Controls, in your config.cfg

 

We lock at server restart when 20 or so join and are in the lobby, when they progress into game the server auto unlocks and lets more in etc etc. If theres problems and 20 players end back in the lobby/cant spawn it relocks etc etc.

 

# Type 1
FloodControl = 20
# Locks the server when there is 20 or more players in the lobby.

 

Adjust the number to suit

TY MGT :D

Is floodcontrol actually working for you MGT?  Are you starting BEC up slightly before DayZ/Arma2?

 

I've tried starting it up slightly before/after and still have yet to see it lock.  The option isn't documented in the latest versions config but I see when it was added and such.

We run BEC as a Windows service

would this mean that players have to wait till there are an x number of people in the server before the game can start? (i.e. sometimes wait 10 minutes on low pop servers?)

[MGT]

No, its for high pop servers to stagger joining at restart. When 20 connect it will lock the server until they've received server and mission file.

[justchil]

Weird.  With FloodControl = 20 in my BEC config.cfg I just had 63 people join after a restart with no sort of lock what-so-ever lol.  Are you running the latest version of BEC?  Weird this one work for me.

[justchil]

Maybe it's because the game/mission hasn't actually started at that point?  I'm running as a service now too.

This doesn't seem to work on the latest version of BEC 1.596

[justchil]

For anyone looking for the answer look in your plugins folder.  At some point the option was removed but there is a plugin you can customize similar to the old floodcontrol type #2

[Razorman]

Plugins folder in BEC?

 

Please explain as need this working, atm I am manually locking with dart at restart.

[justchil]

Download BEC.zip.  In the plugins folder you will see ConnectionLimiter.  You will need to customize CL_Settings.py.

 

Here is mine I used for testing purposes only.  1 connection in 10 seconds will lock the server for 60 seconds.  

 

After finally finding out how to do this I can't find any benefit from it at least for my server.  I'd have 100x players asking me daily why the server is locked too

 

 

# Set your config name for your Bec(s) here. 

SERVER1 = "Config.cfg"

 

# This is the list that contains all servers you want the plugin to run on..

SERVERS = [sERVER1] 

 

def Servers(config_name):

 

# Settings for server1

if config_name == SERVER1:

 

# set sample time in sec.

samptime = 10

 

# set how long the server will be locked..

locktime = 60

 

# set limit of connections.

consec = 1

 

return [samptime, locktime, consec]

 

else:

return False

Hey Guys,

 

I got it like this:

# Quick Examples: 
# Type 1
FloodControl = 8
# Locks the server when there is 5 or more players in the lobby.

But this is not working for me, any ideas?
