HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [22/10/2022]
 

Public Info:

I found problems using the plugin made by "OLO" (sometimes it did not kick the player even though I was watching the ping and was always above the allowed), so I decided to give a little update and modify some things, making clear to the administrators of the site that I am posting just for help if anyone else goes through this.

Oh sure, I accept constructive criticism :D

Notes about changes/updates:

The plugin made by OLO uses dynamic number of arguments in its functions, and for some reason was failing (at least with me), so I made a small update on the way the tasks are created, passing the task ID correctly so as not to confuse with the ID of the player and I modified the cvar for pcvars (this does not make much difference, but who is updating one thing already avails and updates another.)

Requirements:

* AMXX >= 1.10
* Compile locally

Obs:

~> Again, I thank "OLO" for the plugin originally produced, and SmileYzn for countless aids.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

maybe you should mention what you have updated from OLO version

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Just looking at the 2 sma's clearly perceives the difference. I do not want to go into the subject too much.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

If you decide to take someone else's plugin and post it you should definitely say what you changed.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

The plugin won't compile on 1.8.2 because MAX_PLAYERS isn't defined.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Oops, my mistake, fixed.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Seeing this side you are right, I will update the main post as soon as possible, I make clear that I have no intention of "stealing" the plugin made previously to post again because I do not receive anything for that, if that's the case and you think it's better, we can delete this post and I post the update in OLO's own post, I'm waiting for the best solution.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

If the changes you made are significant enough you can make a new thread and take over the plugin(the original author name should be kept, you could say something like OLO & iceeedr)

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

The plugin made by OLO uses dynamic number of arguments in its functions, and for some reason was failing (at least with me), so I made a small update on the way the tasks are created, passing the task ID correctly so as not to confuse with the ID of the player and I modified the cvar for pcvars (this does not make much difference, but who is updating one thing already avails and updates another.) I wait for your endorsement to update the main post and / or delete the post and do just the weights in the original plugin, see you later.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Glad to see people like you who take old PLUGIN and improve it, but I'd love you to do
*UPDATE and explain what has been fixed / arranged.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Post updated with the chages/updates, I am still waiting for HamletEagle's response, but it seems to me that everything is ok.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Is the original OLO plugin posted on this forum? I could not find it. Wanted to look at what you've really changed.

From what I see there are already improved versions of the OLO plugin, such as:
- https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=10259
- https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=59602

You have others as well:
- https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=67629
- https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=738892

The point is as it is, your plugin seems redundant. So, unless you plan to add new features that others plugins don't have, this plugin will be likely unapproved.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

This is the link to original post, you can look at what has been modified, and as I said "The plugin made by OLO uses dynamic number of arguments in its functions, and for some reason was failing, so I made a small update on the way the tasks are created, passing the task ID correctly so I do not confuse with the ID of the player and I modified the cvar for pcvars (this does not make much difference, but who is updating one thing already avails and updates another)".

Thanks for watching the post and I have no intention of adding new functions since my idea was only to heal some problems that were happening to me and can happen with others, thank you.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

By the way, client_disconnected is from AMXX 1.9. if you want to make this plugin for that version, you should say it in the first post. And if so, you might want to use the latest stuff to simplify the plugin (like using client_print_color, read_argv_int, etc.). Actually, I would encourage you to do that because v1.9 is near and I would not mind seeing a better-coded plugin.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated
 

Oops really, let me pass this detail, I will make the modifications indicated by you and I will update the main post at the end, thank you Ark.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated

10TB bandwidth VPS for the price we used to pay for AOL! It amazes me there is still a need for such. Thank you iceeedr for all your hard work at re-optimizing this and sharing. It just shocks me with this much bandwidth with this old of a game that this is necessary! I am looking at 1TB for under $4.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Thanks, it really is a game that still demands a lot of broadband, I hope the plugin helps you.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

I haven't tried your updated HPK yet, but it is next! You are actually trying while so many others are basking in the comfort zone from 15 years ago when AMXX picked up where Admin Mod and AMXMOD left off. We are almost 2 decades later. It is time for some improvements and code optimizations. Thank you again for your work and noticing the needs!! I also have noticed whatever OLO based ping kickers I experimented with here, while a neat concept were functionally worthless. It could have been a config issue on my part making the settings too lenient. But consistently over rate as we have noticed and not being kicked or warned is completely unacceptable. I just tried the Yet kicker which I avoided because users said it was broken for the last 10 years. I replied to the thread and the maintainer called my comments trolling. Since you are respectable I will switch to your stuff buddy. Yet works well but needs more time to tell. Something with timers and AMXMODX plugins have a way of going to hell of those are not set just so.

If you could put a comment to erase/comment out those 3 lines for people who do not know how to work code. That would be nice.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Actually, the use is restricted to amxx 1.9 (which is 1.8.3 as already explained in several topics), I can not guarantee that the use of the 1.8.3 files (in any of your past updates) will contain the native ones used in the plugin , so it is difficult to remove this warning. What I can do is add an amxx version 1.8.2 that by the amxx compatibility policy will be fully used in versions 1.8.3.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

I just cut the 3 lines and works fine. There is a real stupid question I have. Some of my players are from China. I would like to surprise them and have a Chinese translation in there too as well as other languages such as Russian. We have plenty of Russian players also. What happens on AMDMODX when non-utf8 characters are used?

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

You can send me the translation, as far as I know, saving the file as UTF-8 without BOM, it works normally.

On the working version of amxx 1.8.3, I can not guarantee that in versions (although 1.8.3), but more outdated than yours, will work, so the message. I will add the support for 1.8.2 today, it is already ready, but it is in another HD.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

I also will conform and get 1.9. Thanks for the wake up call! I forgot it is already here. On with the code roundup. Yee-haw!

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Yeah, any bug or problem contact me right here, I hope you enjoy it.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

I know a good plugin. When it is the people's choice it has translation activity like this does. On with the 1.9 migration.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

amx_check 3
amx_delay 2

Kicks them on connection so we do not have to deal with lag city for a minute of 3 checks 15 sec apart. It is working on 1.8. I forgot you grabbed this from core app. No logging or anything. This is a good lightweight alternative ping kicker. It works!

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Thanks for the tests and feedback, I will update the plugin soon with some small details. :D

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Plugin makes a directory in the configs named plugins and places HighPingKicker.cfg there. Command line editing plugins.ini takes longer now as a result with a duplicate name in the folder. I am running 1.9. Most admins demand a log file. There is no logging. I do not mind as nothing has gotten past this. I have the other checkers set high as a fail-safe. Since I put yours up. No log. That means it works on 1.8 also. I wanted to have 1.9 installed before I commented about this unauthorized plugins directory in my configs directory being that it could have been part of using 1.9. It's not.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

I'm sorry, but I really could not understand if you're complaining about something, or pointing me to some subject ... if you want, could you rewrite your sentence? See you

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

The file and directory I recommend if you can do with out it do without please. If that is not possible something other than plugins right next to plugins.ini. As I explained it is irritating every time I want to edit plugins.ini on secure shell. I watched a user who has better ping than a $2000 Apple on my network show up with a 30 ping and not leave or be kicked having stratosphere 1000 ping for too many milliseconds for my toolbox. My last settings he was saved by the bell or heaven help us. That was using 3 different checkers. I haven't ever tried that before. I have flux checker set to finite amount of flux and losses and ban. 1 ban for the week. That's fine. It just failed flux was set to 50 and that was over 1000 flux. Yours, no logging - tolerate as a am a lightweight nanosoftware enthusiast. I had yours set to 275 and a frontliner with amx_check 3;amx_delay 2 --so 6 sec. I took it off the front line and put it in as the fail-back backup pinter. I took out the nice recheck so once a certain level is breached - gone. The Yet kicker as a front liner I can see who is being kicked for what. Good thing we were all playing or else, who would know? No change demands of course.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

What about if you try to explain your problem without phrases no one except you or people talking your language as first language understand? I tried to read your text but gave up. I'm pretty sure iceeedr will have the same problem.
A SIMPLE explanation of your problem would be VERY appreciated.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

If I understood correctly, the "problem" is to create the new directory "plugins" with the .cfg of the plugin inside it ... if it is, I can not do anything about it since it is the correct use of the new native amxx 1.9 "native AutoExecConfig (bool: autoCreate = true, const name [] =" ", const folder [] =" "); the normal flow of the plugins will eventually be all (when updated) create their cfgs inside the new folder

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Resolved. Now it places the config in the config directory instead of unnecessarily creating another directory called plugins within the configs directory.

Re: HighPingKicker OLO Based/Updated [26/11/2018]
 

Glad that that was his problem, and that was solved. Particularly I prefer the separate partitioning of the CFG's, but I'll put some information in the main post about it.
