Basic Admin Tool
 

This is an admin tool running on Metamod: Source that is intented for server owners who want to administer public servers, with adult admins that dont want infinite number of useless/abuse punishments. Just a basic admin tool for banning/slaping/kick all in a handy menu or via console commands. BAT also works on any Source based game, and the fact that its is so basic it should not break on valve updates.

Features:
*Admin commands via Client Console
*Admin commands via Server Console
*Admin commands via Chat Console
*Admin menu

*Admin login via MySQL (amxbans,sourcebans, and own webinterface)
*Autorespond to public chat messages ( timeleft and nextmap )
*Votekick / voteban and from chat
*Mapvoting system ( Either via menu or chat )
*Add maps that are outside mapcycle to Admin menu
*Add maps that are outside mapcycle to vote menu
*Rockthevote system
*Reserved slots system
*Autoexec map config files ( like cfg/mapconfig/de_dust2.cfg )
*Automatic STEAM_ID_PENDING kicker
*Interface that allows other plugins to easy get admin information

Does this work for half life 2 deathmatch too? And if it does does it work for half life 2 deathmatch mods too? ^^

I tested it, some of the commands worked but the admin_menu didnt work. So I cant do a mapvote without the command becose its not on the list in the readme. Btw I tried finding out what command u used for mapvoting, I didnt get a invalid command message when I used admin_mapvote "sf_nobridge_v03" but it didnt do anything else either... So maybe the menus dont work for hl2dm, its mods, or something else is wrong.

Il look at that at once, the problem is that atm the ShowMenu message id is hardcoded for each mod, il add in hl2dm.

The problem is that i dont know how many messages each mod has, so i cant safly check them all. Exect a new version within this night ( Depending on if other bugs have been reported ).

looking more at the problem it turns out that hl2mp dont support those menus, i need to add supprt for other menus aswell. This is gonna take longer then i exected. It could work with other hl2 mods, depending on if they support the ShowMenu message.
Other then that there is no console command yet to start the mapvote, but the mapvote is menu based so its not gonna work on hl2mp yet.

Ok thanks

Looks like its working after the new Valve updates. Good work EKS!

DOD:S:

admin menu works but the command is admin not admin_menu

vote map works fine when manually initiated, dont know yet about end of map auto vote(just installed this)

immunity seems not to work on yourself, i was able to switch myself to the other team

i don't get how the name change is suposed to work from the menu...

havent really had a chance to test with any other admin levels yet

any chance you could remove BOTS(i.e., LDuke's FakeClients) from the menu options?

hmm, it should realy support both, il check this later.

Thats how it should work, any admin with immunity flag can do anothing to another admin with immunity.

select the player, and his names is changed. Basicly to make players with a abusive nick change his name.

I dont think il remove them from all the menus, but it might be smart to remove them from menus that bots are immune against ( atm slay and ChangeName perhaps ).

No maps show up in the vote option.

When I start the server I get the following message for all the maps I have on the server

ModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'cs_italy

Features requested:

- Multi map vote
- End of the round map vote
- Set next map
- RCON Menu with options to add yourself for ingame admins
- Rockthevote option for users on the server
- Always use number 0 to go back or exit
- Use 8 to go back, 9 for more / next
- Add 0. Exit at the bottom

merlin.huff try putting a space behind the last name and make sure all maps are below eachother with a linebreak (enter)

Thanks that worked :)

Good, now lets hope EKS will do some of the requested features and the BAT is the best :lol:

Tried this out last night. I love the fact that it's small and doesn't require any sort of client downloads like certain other Admin mods.

Just to make sure, the Slap/Slay/Kick features don't work on bots correct? If they are supposed to then I guess I have a problem. Anyway keep up the great work excellent first public release.

Edit: Just saw EKS's above post about Slay not working for bots. :oops:

any other plugins being made for this like a tk punish system. thinking of one i used for admin mod where you have to type !forgivetk, !slaytk whathave you in global chat. best system yet as only server regs usually know it and it doesnt get abused

New version coming guys... hold on :)

There are still issues with reading the text files, hopefull il fix that in the comming version.
You can kick and slap bots, but they cannot be slayed ( IE can be slapped to 1 hp, but will not die from the slap ).

Hopefully il have a new version ready for tonight. Other then that, there is no need for a TK manager in this plugin. But a seperate plugin could be made for it

kewl nice plugin, only problem i had was a dodgy install of sourcemm from there auto installer but once i installed everything manually not a problem. noticed a big drop in cpu usage when switched over from a certain other mod ;) also any chance of csay and admin chat working in dod source ?

Updated plugin:

• BAT 1.0.0 Public RC2
  - Added: admin_nextmap <map name> - Sets the nexmap, map needs to be in mapcycle
  - Added: Adminlog file now has a timestamp to the file name ( Example: adminlog_11-29-2005.log )
  - Added: Log additons:
  - Added: Any errors / bad configuration are now also writen in adminlog & server console
  - Added: Logs admin login / disconnect
  - Added: Plugin should now support loading late in the game ( via meta load command )
  - Added: say rockthevote
  - Added: CVAR: bat_loadsettings if BAT should reload all config files on every mapchange
  - Added: admin_startmapvote starts a vote ( basicly same vote as what a rockthevote has )
  - Added: Votes now automaticly finnish when every player has voted
  - Fixed: admin_list
  - Changed: A few minor fixes on reading files could prevent minor problems

Next on my list of thing to do:
Remove lstdc++ requirement if posible ( someone said BAILOPAN had coded the functions into sourcemm )
Add support for the menus you need to press esc to see ( Those will work in hl2mp ).
A simple reserved slots system

Also thx to tcviper for helping cleaning out the readme files.

get a file corrupt cannot unzip error with the new update.


nvm sorted

Updated

• BAT 1.0.0 Public RC3
  - Fixed: A bad bug when ppl/bots connected could result in a crash players getting admin
  - Changed: Some code to make it look cleaner ( Thx to: Elbandi2 )

This update is compiled against sourcemm 1.1.2, so it might be smart to update sourcemm at the same this as this plugin.

Hm, I can't unzip the rc3 zip archive. Seems to be broken.

Arnold 8)

its not broken, but the commandline tool im to make the .zip file requires a realy new version of the uncompressor. Il see if i can find a older version

try now, used another compressor

Still problems on Linux:

$ unzip ./bat_v1_rc3.zip
Archive: ./bat_v1_rc3.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of ./bat_v1_rc3.zip or

Perhaps you might consider 7z or another version of zip; should save your time answering support queries. :-)

I already posted it on the SourceMM Support Forum, but I still get crashed with bat (rc2 and rc3):

Edit: via metaplugins.ini it works suddenly. I just can't delete this posting (perhaps a Moderator can, feel free to do so).

I was using 7z now, perhaps i need to change the commandline. As a minimal amount of support would be best :)

7z a -tzip xaphan_mm.zip .\temp\* -mzip

2 things that dont seem to be working right as far as I can work out

Admin vote map.
If you use the admin menu to start a vote map only 8 maps are show in menu. If you try to show next it does not show. The change map option works ok though and you can see all the maps in your mapcycle.

admin_rcon

I am testing this plugin on out clan server for now so I wish to exec match.cfg

When you type "admin_rcon exec match.cfg" the console show that you only typed "exec" the "match.cfg" is gone.

Hope this makes sence. Look forward to getting this plugin onto out main 40 player public server as it has just about everything I need.

@devicenull thx. il update the bat file, im using a file simular to what you had, realy timesaving.

hmm, this is odd. You do know it reads the mapcycle file ( whatever the mapcyclefile cvar is set to ) ? If its not showing all the maps from it, please check the server console or admin log it should log if its finds a error when reading the file ( IE the map is in the mapcycle file, but not in maps folder. Or the file parser may still be broke ).
The menu should support a next command ( option 9 )

admin_rcon currently require you to use quotes around thing ( admin_rcon "exec test.cfg" ).

Perhaps you could add

0 Exit

to the menus.

Arnold 8)

Yes add a 0. Exit

no, 0 is back and exit in the root menu

Ok, but not all menus have a

0 back

as far as I remember. Perhaps you can add that.

Arnold 8)

They do, if they support it ( Ie a end of map vote dont have it, becuse there is no back there).

The root menu may not show the option. but its there

Yes, that's what I remembered. I used the 0 instinctively and it worked, but it wasn't shown.

Arnold 8)

Update, please remember its not the most tested release esp the Reserved slots system needs testing.

I just tried your latest version rc4 and I can't seem to get it working.
Here is the console output that I have upon startup and then a meta list, meta version, and meta game at the end:
I've tried with and without the CS:S DM plugin and it still doesn't work for me.

This is on a Gentoo Linux dedicated server. I have the bat folder in my cstrike/addons folder. The bat_mm_i486.so is in cstrike/addons/bat/bin folder. Of course the publicmessage.txt and users.ini are both in cstrike/addons/bat directory.
Any ideas what might be the problem?
Thanks

sourcemm has a realy nice command: meta retry 01 ( this will make sourcemm try to load bat again, and any error will be printed in console ).
If you get a error thats unreable, make sure lstdc++ is installed ( its still required with RC4 ).
