Features Dynamic Population Control: Automatically updates the server’s maximum player limit based on the current number of players, ensuring the max players setting is always one step ahead of the current population. Configurable Maximum and Minimum Population: Allows setting absolute maximum and minimum population limits that the server will not exceed or fall below, regardless of other calculations. Configurable Cooldown: Includes a cooldown mechanism to prevent the server settings from being updated too frequently, helping to maintain server performance. Console Message Toggle: Allows server administrators to enable or disable console messages when the max population is adjusted to reduce log clutter. Efficient Timer Management: Implements a smarter timer mechanism that avoids unnecessary recalculations when multiple players connect or disconnect in quick succession. Configuration The plugin uses a JSON configuration file which is automatically generated if it does not exist. Here are the default settings and descriptions for each configurable option: { "MaxPlayersOffset": 1, "CooldownPeriod": 10.0, "MaximumPopulation": 200, "MinimumPopulation": 1, "ConsoleMessagesEnabled": true } MaxPlayersOffset: The number of player slots to add to the current player count when setting the maximum players (default is 1). CooldownPeriod: The cooldown period in seconds between adjustments to prevent performance degradation (default is 10 seconds). MaximumPopulation: The highest number of players that the server can support at any time (default is 200). MinimumPopulation: The lowest number of players that the server will not fall below (default is 1). ConsoleMessagesEnabled: Whether to log changes to the server’s max players in the console (default is true). Commands This plugin operates in the background automatically and does not require any commands to be used by players or administrators. Permissions No permissions are required for this plugin as it is designed for server-side configuration and operation. Installation Download the ElasticPopulation.cs file from the ElasticPopulation page on uMod. Place the file in your RustServer/oxide/plugins directory. Use the command oxide.reload ElasticPopulation to load the plugin. The plugin will automatically create a default configuration file if one doesn’t already exist. Usage After installation, the plugin will function automatically. Server administrators can modify the MaxPlayersOffset, CooldownPeriod, MaximumPopulation, MinimumPopulation, and ConsoleMessagesEnabled in the configuration file to tailor the plugin to their server’s needs. Troubleshooting If you encounter issues, check the server console for any error messages related to the ElasticPopulation plugin. Ensure that the configuration file is formatted correctly and that you have the latest version of the plugin.

FEATURES - Multi server - You can add as many servers that you want to the config! - Fully Customizable - You can change the players joining message, queued message, and regular message! - Global bot - There is also a global pop bot that will display the pop of all of your servers combined. - Dynamically changing status - The bots status will go to do not disturb mode when the server is offline, idle when the data is being loaded, and online when it is actively updating the servers pops. - Threshold message - When your server is under a certain % of the max players allowed on the server it will not show the pop of the server, instead it will show the message that you set in the config! - Server status messages - The bot can also send a message to discord when your server(s) go offline and online. - Very simple config - Dynamic Pop Cap Changer When your server gets to a certain amount of players away from the max allowed players it will increase the max amount of players allowed This will work the same way with decreasing the max amount of players allowed. You can set the max the cap is allowed to go to, so it cannot increase over x amount for the player cap, and cannot decrease under x amount for the player cap You can also not allow it to increase the player count if the server is under x amount of FPS. THE BOT IS VERY EASY TO INSTALL Just fill in the very minimal things in the config and start up the bot and you're good to go. Steps to install: If you want the bot to run 24/7 you will need a VPS or bot hosting node. Hosting recommendation -> https://pebblehost.com/bot-hosting Once you have your bot node, upload all the files that are given to you into the file section of your bot node. From there all you need to do is edit the config.json file with all the proper information and you're good to go!

Will do another update shortly (2012-12-16) for Santa's sleigh event which is not handled. Disables events if the number of players is below a configurable threshold. The required number of players is configured per event. Events are: Bradley APC Cargo plane Cargo ship CH47 helicopter Patrol helicopter Configuration A configuration is automatically create the first time the plugin is loaded, allowing one to set the minimum required population for each event type. { "Bradley APC": { "Minimum players": 0 }, "Cargo plane": { "Minimum players": 30, "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/npc/cargo plane/cargo_plane.prefab" }, "Santa's sleigh": { "Minimum players": 0, "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/misc/xmas/sleigh/santasleigh.prefab" }, "CH47 helicopter": { "Minimum players": 50, "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/npc/ch47/ch47scientists.entity.prefab" }, "Patrol helicopter": { "Minimum players": 0, "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/npc/patrol helicopter/patrolhelicopter.prefab" }, "Easter egg hunt": { "Minimum players": 0, "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/misc/easter/egghunt.prefab" }, "Halloween hunt": { "Minimum players": 0, "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/misc/halloween/halloweenhunt.prefab" }, "Cargo ship": { "Noninitial loot round minimum players": [ 20, 30 ], "Minimum players": 0, "Prefab": "assets/content/vehicles/boats/cargoship/cargoshiptest.prefab" } } Cargo ship loot rounds Cargo ship can have a minimum number of players below which it will not spawn. Additionally, the number of loot rounds can be modified with the population. In the example above, cargo ship requires a minimum pop of 5 players to spawn with a single loot round, 20 players for 2 loot rounds and 30 players for 3 loot rounds. Set "Noninitial loot round minimum players" to an empty array to use default cargo loot rounds.
