All infantry and vehicle loadouts/equipment in Battlefield 4 can be denied on-spawn using this plugin, with customizable messages for each item. Vehicle loadouts and equipment can be enforced on spawn for everyone, or on kill with specific vehicles. Settings allow for enforcement of problem players only, or all players, with per-item gradation of that severity.
- Enforce every infantry item (any primary, secondary, attachments for either, gadgets, knifes, and grenades) in the game on-spawn.
- Enforce every vehicle item (primaries, secondaries, countermeasures, optics, and gunner options) in the game, on-spawn.
- Map/Mode specific enforcement options for mixed-mode servers are available.
- Any update made to the game's weapons are automatically imported and made available, so if DICE changes or adds weapons, they are immediately enforceable.
- Players notified and thanked when they fix their loadouts after being killed.
- Customizable kill messages for each denied item, with combined messages and details if more than one is spawned in the same loadout.
- Statistics on enforcement, including percent of players enforced, percent killed for enforcement, percent who fixed their loadouts after kill, and percent who quit the server without fixing their loadouts after kill.
- Two levels of enforcement, allowing multiple levels of severity for each item.
- In-game commands to call more strict loadout enforcement on specific players.
- Using the reputation system, reputable players are optionally not forced to change their loadouts, as we know they are not going to use them.
- Admins are optionally whitelisted from spawn enforcement, but still fall under trigger enforcement if marked or punished.
- Other plugins can call loadout checks and enforcement, so it can enhance your current autoadmin.

If you find any bugs, please inform me about them on the MyRCON forums and they will be fixed ASAP.
- Procon, and optionally AdKats. Basic functions only require Procon, however, for advanced functions, it requires AdKats 6.9.0.0 or later to be installed and running.
- Separated Layer IPs. This is a battlelog intensive plugin, do not run it on more than one battlefield server from the same Procon layer IP address. If you have multiple servers to enforce, you must run the plugin from different Procon layer IP addresses. If you do not heed this warning, your layers run the risk of being temporarily IP banned from battlelog.
- Optionally Install AdKats. AdKatsLRT can run independently from the AdKats base plugin, but certain advanced functions cannot be used as a result. To install the latest version of AdKats, view the AdKats Install Instructions. After install make sure you are running version 6.9.0.0 or later.
- Download and install AdKatsLRT. Download the plugin from here: https://myrcon.net/files/file/32-on-spawn-loadout-enforcer-for-infantryvehicles-adkatslrt/ The plugin is installed like any other procon plugin.
- Enable AdKatsLRT. AdKatsLRT will start and fetch required information, then wait for the first player list response from either AdKats or the server. Once that comes through, it will complete startup and loadout enforcement will be online. Enjoy your new admin tool!
If you have any problems installing AdKatsLRT please let me know on the MyRCON forums and I'll respond promptly. All instances of AdKatsLRT are tracked once installed.
Every infantry/Vehicle item in the game (about 3500 items), can be enforced here. The settings are split into several sections; Weapons, Weapon Accessories, Gadgets, and Vehicle Weapons/Unlocks, in that order.
The gist of it for infantry: Deny on trigger denies that weapon/accessory for problem players and players you've manually marked, deny on spawn denies that weapon for everyone except admins and reputable players.
The gist of it for vehicles: By default, enforcement is on kill with specific vehicles. This is important because not everyone uses vehicles, so only those players using restricted vehicles should have their loadouts enforced for those vehicles. Optionally you can enforce on spawn for vehicle loadouts, regardless, which is not advised but is available as an option.
Details for infantry: Loadouts have several reasons for being checked; A player spawns, gets reported, gets punished, gets marked, or has more than X (configurable) infraction points. Any of these instances will call a loadout check, and the reason for checking them changes the way the enforcement works.
When running loadout enforcement for a specific player, the reason, and action if invalid, is first decided. The following are results for specific reasons, in order of priority:
- If a player was marked they are set under trigger enforcement and will be slain for invalid loadout of any kind.
- If a player is punished they are set under trigger enforcement and will be slain for invalid loadout of any kind.
- If a player was reported and their reputation is non-positive they are set under trigger enforcement and will be slain for invalid loadout of any kind. If they are slain due to a report that report is automatically accepted.
- If a player has more than X (configurable) infraction points they are set under trigger enforcement and will be slain for invalid loadout of any kind.
- If none of the above checks are hit, are not reputable, and are not an admin, they are set under spawn enforcement. Secondary checks are customizable.
If a player is about to be slain for loadout enforcement, regardless of enforcement type, they are shown two messages. The first is a generic message containing all denied weapons they have in their loadout "playername please remove [denied weapons] from your loadout". This messages is sent using private SAY. After that, the specific messages written by the admin for each denied item is displayed. These customizable messages are found in setting sections 8A and 8B, once denied items are selected. These messages are sent using private TELL.
Immediately after informing the player of denied items in their loadout, they are admin killed. If they are under manual trigger enforcement, admins are notified of their demise, all other messages are private.
Thank you messages are given to players who fix their loadouts. If a player is under trigger enforcement, admins are notified that they fixed their loadout.
Setting your debug level to at least 2 will display statistics in the console when stats change. The stats available are percent under loadout enforcement (should be nearly 100%), percent killed for loadout enforcement, percent who fixed their loadouts after kill, and percent who quit the server without fixing after being killed.
Certain commands in AdKats are modified by this plugin. The changes to those commands are listed below.
| Command | Default Text | Changes |
| Punish Player | punish | Punish works as normal, but also initiates trigger level enforcement on the target player for the duration the plugin is online. |
| Mark Player | mark | Instead of marking a player for leave notification only, it also initiates trigger level enforcement on the target player for the duration the plugin is online. |
| Report Player | report | Reports initiate trigger level enforcement on targeted players with non-positive reputation. If the reported player has invalid items in their loadout, the report is automatically accepted, and admins notified of such. |
| Call Admin | admin | Same changes as Report Player. |
