[bf1942] How to test high ping kicker is working

["Einar S. Idsø"]

There's no console command to check this, but you should get some stuff
in your log (the location of which should be specified in your
adminsettings.con file).

Things to check:
1. Did you make an adminsettings.con file in the same dir as your
maplist.con?

2. Does it contain the following lines:
bfno.debugLogEnabled 1
bfno.debugLogFile "/path/to/adminlog.log"
bfno.udpLogEnabled 1
bfno.udpLogHost "localhost"
bfno.udpLogPort 29500
bfno.highPingAutoKick 1
bfno.highPingLimit 20
bfno.highPingWarnings 3
bfno.highPingCheckInterval 30
admin.port 4712
admin.password "whateveryouwantreally"

3. Does your standard_admin/__init__.py contain these lines:
import pingkick.py
pingkick.init()

When the server starts, you should se stuff like this in the log:
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] Logging enabled
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] Starting rcon on port 4712
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] initializing default admin/rcon module
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] initializing autobalance script
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] initializing tk-punish script
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] PINGKICK: initializing pingkick script
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] PINGKICK: Enabling kick for high ping: 20/3
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] PINGKICK: Interval set to 30
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] PINGKICK: Timer not enabled. Enabling...
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] PINGKICK: Time = 30.0
[2005-06-27 01:02:03] standard_admin/__init__.py done
( some more stuff....)
Then, once the game starts, the following should appear every 30 seconds:
[2005-06-27 01:02:27] PINGKICK: Running checkPing

Parts of this logging will be lost if you don't have g_debug set to 1.
Locate python/bf2/__init__.py and change the line which says g_debug = 0
to g_debug = 1, and you'll get lots of logging info to your logfile.

Hope this helps!
