Kicking/Banning on Ranked

[mkeller25]

So I finally gave in to flipping the server to Ranked instead of Official. I can confirm for someone if need be but.... now I can't seem to kick which is the only reason I changed anything.

I've tried using the commands here

And the ones here

Nothing has worked. Keep in mind I'm using the command line stuff in the Server Control tab of NFO's control panel. We have the Admin Daemon enabled as well.

I've tried..

!kick "playername"
!kick playername
!ban "playername
!ban playername

admin.kickplayer playername
admin.kickplayer "playername"

And just for testing I tried

!yell "message" 6000 "all"
!yell "message" 6000 all
!yell message
!yell message 6000 all
admin.yell "message" 6000 "all"
admin.yell message
etc etc

It seems to me that nothing is working. Is this console just not for these commands? I know this must seem stupid but... what am I missing here?

yell doesn't work in BF4 server yet. Try !say something.

I used to use the admin commands from the NFO admin deamon and it worked well on my server. Nowadays, I use Procon.

Say appears to be working so thanks.

What about the Bans/Kicks for ranked servers? I'm still having zero luck with this taws001 guy

It's possible that that taws player is a zombie player. Sometimes server would get a zombie player who shows in-game, but they're not actually in-game. You can't kill/kick/ban them at all. The only way to get rid of them is to reboot.

If you get into your server, you can can kick yourself to see if it's working or not.

Are you using a admin tool? Unless you have Procon(MyRcon) or RconNet then your server alone won't recognize commands like that in game. You could optionally use the Admin Daemon that NFO provides in the CP and their commands list.

I personally would suggest getting a Procon Layer hosted. It has many plugins available and will help you manage your server.

-----------------------------------------
At this point I'm striking down the idea of renting/paying for anything else. In such case, I think my only option for managing the server is by use the tools available in NFO's control panel.

The issue is why the heck I couldn't kick that guy. I've since been able to ban a couple people successfully - I haven't tried kicking since though. I expect that this was possibly an isolated issue with this particular person.

!kick on any part of the player name should work, and if you're watching the rcon tool output in the control panel, you should see the command come through on the server side to do it. But, we have occasionally seen problems due to a bug in the game that causes players to be listed who are not actually playing, and can't be kicked/banned as a result, due to Blaze disconnections. In that case, the only fix seems to involve a server restart =\.

I appreciate the follow up.

I do think this is what I was seeing. I was seeing the commands come through but the player just would not get kicked and he was idle taking up slots so I was like WTF?

I think I saw when I did...

playerlist.list (or whatever the command is) that the player I was trying to kick did not appear to have an EAID like everyone else. I assumed this was related somehow.

I think thats the lesson here for people. If you see someone with a blank EAID just sitting idle in your server, the only way to kick them is reboot sadly.
