Admin Tools for BP4F

[FlashGordon]

@DazzieBoi - Most importantly, please email me your ../MyDocuments/BP4FCC/[ipaddress_port]/Users.db file, so I can try to replicate the bug, then I can fix it.
Meanwhile, move or rename Users.db. When you next start P4FCC, it will be recreated to default.
That may fix the problem, but I really need the old file, so I can stop it happening to anyone else.

Also, look in the log files for the same day/time and mail me them.
They hold more information than what was echoed to the log tab, and will probably say what the actual database error was.

Regards,
Pedro

Pedro I don't see that in my documents... No ip or db file in there, maybe I don't have the right view settings. Am i suppose to add users manually or does it go in there when i enter them while they're in game.

hi pedro,
Ive sent the files you requested, renamed my old userdb file and restarted and it seems to have fixed the problem
Thnx

@crazy
if your on windows 7 the files are found in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\BP4FCC
the user database is automatically created in the main BP4FCC folder and is simply called 'users' and users are added automatically when they join your server if the user database is enable.

to enable it, start the program, click client (top right) and hover over (user database) if theres no tick in the little box then you need to tick it for the user database to work.

The ip/port pedro mentions is a folder with the ip/port number of the server you have added as the name of the folder.

hope that helps

[FlashGordon]

Thanks DazzieBoi, and very well explained.

Another way to get to the application folder is to click the new "show files" link in menu Client Settings / Chat Options - then it's the parent folder, one up from there.

Regards,
Pedro

HI Pedro. The "Switch side" function, how does it work? Do it work? I've tried to switch a player when the teams were unbalanced, but nothing happened.

Hi Pedro!

If I have more than one server open (tabs), autoscroll for chat just work at the 1st server.

Hi Pedro. I got Multiplay/Clanforge. I made an profile for unranked server in Clanforge. But I cant make it run with CC. The ranked profile runs fine.
I put in server name, IP, RCON port and password for the unranked profile, but ends up with this error message: "That is not recognised as a valid IP Address". What do I do wrong?

[FlashGordon]

@G-BF.com^Danny - Thank you for letting me know. It's noted and I'll look into it as soon as I can.

@Zeromancer - I think that message is from a basic IP check on the connection settings popup? It checks that it is a valid IPv4 (x.x.x.x) type address. Can you PM me just the IP address you are trying, and I will try it myself. I presume this message comes up before you can even close the connection settings popup? PM me and we'll take this off-thread. Check for leading/trailing spaces too! I'm still not sure if it trims extra space yet [noted to check].

Regards,
Pedro

Pedro, when I look at my logs, it shows two lines of everything said. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

[FlashGordon]

@[MIA]American - Thanks for letting me know. Sounds like a bug. I'm guessing several instances were running somehow. I'll need to lock that down or it will corrupt the user database too.

I'l lPM you off-thread.

Thanks again,
Pedro

hi pedro,
I have a request, possible or not I dont know, we could really do with a autoshuffle or manual shuffle, I play in my server and it seems 1 team dominates time and time again, i feel like im playing with all lvl 1s who dont have a clue.

how possible is this?

[G-BF.com^Danny]

Hello Pedro,

if you have time it would be great if you input a kick/ban delay like:
"User XYZ will be kicked in 10 sec. Reason: ..."

Have a nice weekend!

this is already in place aint it?
im not 100% positive but i think its shows at 10 seconds and 5 seconds, will test tomorrow.

@DazzieBoi
It is working in EAsy Server Panel not in BP4FCC.
But I hope this will come!

This evening sees the initial release of the new GGC integration module! Please READ HERE for more.

I hope you like it. This is hot off the press, so you may find a bug or two...
If you find any problems with this, please PM or email me for a quicker response.

The GGC kick system is a temporary solution. I hope to have something better in place in a few weeks. The current system uses the newly included "Welcome Actions" feature, where you can add messages, warns, kicks or even a ban (when it works) to the player, for next time they join. Players are also now searchable from the Players popup in a new tab.

Regarding other posts above:

I will look again at the kick function to give more notice if it does not do that.

I have various shuffle ideas in the pipeline, just still getting the high priority issues dealt with.

Regards,
Pedro
