    The problem with that is....most accounts have multiple servers streaming.....and a few have 50+....would be easier to just edit the text as you did :)

    I agree. :) We have multiple servers and by the time you add the server option and then select a server, you could have it typed out already. :P

    Battle Recorder Demos

    in Battlefield 2142

    Posted

    As far as I know you can only view them in 2142.

     

    What are you doing with the demos? You should download them to your computer and then put them in My Documents/Battlefield 2142/Profiles/Default/demos .. then they should be in 2142.

    Screenshot .html?

    in Streaming Questions and Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Sometimes the screenshots just aren't transferred. Try taking screenshots of a few players that you know are playing, and then check five minutes later to see if they're there.

     

    You can also check your /svlogs/ and search for the player name to see if you can see if a screenshot has timed out, been corrupted, or simply failed to transfer.

    Auto Screenshots = Crash, Manual Screenshots Not Working

    in Battlefield 2142

    Posted

    Does anyone else have a problem with screenshots not working right? On our BF2142 server, we've had to disable automatic screenshots due to it crashing the server. I didn't really like the idea, but it wasn't that bad. I'd rather actually play and have a few hackers than not play at all. However, I tried taking screenshots manually today and I found out that not even those are working! They're all timing out. I might get 1 screenshot out of 50, but that's it.

     

    So, is anyone else having screenshot issues? Not sure if it's just our provider or what... but I'd like to get the screenshots back up and running.

     

    I submitted a ticket to EB earlier today, so hopefully we can get it sorted out if it's not our provider.

    master player index

    in Streaming Questions and Troubleshooting

    Posted

    iam logged in i get the info on all other players its just a couple of players i can not get any info on,it just does not show there guild just there name.

    i past there game name in thats on bf2 tracker so i have not got it wrong, ive typed it in but still no info on these players its as if there guild does no exsist,ive even copyed there guild in but still nothing any ideas.

    If you search for a name on the Master Player Index and it only shows the name, but no GUID - that's because there are no records for this player. It's only showing you the alias because that's what you typed in. There's no logs for the player though.

    When you type a name into the Player Index and there are no results for the player, it will just show the player name.

     

    Not all players will be on the Player Index, only ones that have played on PBBans Streaming Servers.

    PunkBuster kick - Corrupt Packet flow

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    We had quite a few people get kicked off of our server after the update on Friday (almost half the server). It's supposedly been fixed since then, but I saw somewhere that a firewall and/or router port blocking issue may be causing this. They suggested manually updating PB with the PBSETUP tool. Even though players may have already done this, there was a new update released on Saturday, so it's best to try it again.

    adding auto text to a COD4 server

    in Call of Duty 4

    Posted

    I'm not sure how to do it with any rcon or other admin utilitities specifically for COD4, but you can do it with PB.

     

    pb_sv_task X Y "say Z"

    X = when the message should start. If you start at 60, just keep increasing by 60 (60, 120, 180, 240...)

    Y = how often the server message should repeat it self. 420 = 7 minutes. You could probably lower this.

    Z = the server message

     

    E.g, to display 3 messages every 60 seconds, you might use something like this:

    pb_sv_task 60 420 "say Blah Blah Blah Blah...."

    pb_sv_task 120 420 "say Message 2.. blah blah blah"

    pb_sv_task 180 420 "say Message 3... blah blah blah"

    That should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

    COD4 Server settings

    in Call of Duty 4

    Posted · Edited by Woolf

    Hello, I have a new COD4 server up and running, I am wondering:

     

     

    My COD4 Server

    http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/62.75.219.15:28960/

     

     

    1. how to stream to PBBans

    To stream to PBBans, you'll first need to add it to your account via the Account Manager. Next, setting up streaming is literally as easy as adding a few lines to your config. I would recommend you setup streaming via the HUB as it is much easier, faster, and more modern. Click Here for instructions on setting up streaming.

     

    2. difference between ranked and unranked settings?

    A ranked server will allow you to use ranks and unlocks, but you will be restricted to what settings you can use. An unranked server will not use ranks or unlocks, but will allow you to mod and/or change whatever settings you wish.

     

    3. does anyone have a server.ini for a ranked and unranked server to share?

    I don't personally, although I'm sure one of the other streaming admins here can help you with that.

    PB_ss Settings

    in Battlefield 2

    Posted

    Here's what we use,

     

    pb_sv_AutoSsFrom 300 //[Minimum # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]
   pb_sv_AutoSsTo 1500 //[Maximum # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]
   pb_sv_AutoSs 1 //[Take screenshots automaticall]
   pb_sv_SsFloor 1 //[Starting screenshot #]
   pb_sv_SsCeiling 8000 //[Maximum screenshots allowed before old ones are overwritten]
   pb_sv_SsCmd "" //[Filename of file to run after screenshots are processed]
   pb_sv_SsPath "" //[Path where remote screenshots are saved]
   pb_sv_SsDelay 0 //[Maximum delay client waits before capturing screenshot]
   pb_sv_SsWidth 800 //[Requested pixel width of remote screenshots]
   pb_sv_SsHeight 410 //[Requested pixel height of remote screenshots]
   pb_sv_SsSrate 2 //[Sample Rate for screenshots]
   pb_sv_SsXpct 50 //[Percentage across screen for remote screenshots]
   pb_sv_SsYpct 50 //[Percentage down screen for remote screenshots]

    Or you can use the settings in the link Rodeo provided. Whatever you do, just be sure that you do not set the pb_sv_AutoSsFrom and pb_sv_AutoSsTo values too low, otherwise you will get a lot of unreturned/timed out screenshots. If there's a suspected hacker on your server, you could always manually request a screenshot with the pb_sv_getss command.

    COD4 server new to me

    in Call of Duty 4

    Posted

    1. Is there a command for the server in the config to enable console?

    Are you referring to the in-game console? If so, I heard that you need to hold SHIFT and then hit the ~ (tilde) key.

     

    2. Does the pbtool port have to be different than the stock 28960?

    Which tool are you referring to, the PunkBuster Server WebTool? If so, then the port can be anything, as long as it's not a port already used. We have our servers set to 8000 through 8010.

     

    3. Does anyone here have a working server config with more advanced setting that they would share?

    What kind of "advanced" settings would you like? Are you referring to game server settings or PB settings?

     

    I myself have a "Global Configs" folder (on my computer) that contains all configs for all servers (pbsv.cfg, pbbans streaming, and the random ss rotator.). I then have individual folders for each server (e.g. [cod4] COD4 Ranked #2) which contains pbsvlog.cfg (streaming to PsB - since each game is a different port), a flot_pbcfg.cfg file which contains info for the PB Web Tool, and md5 checks.

     

    If you'd like me to help you organize your configs for easier updating and organization for all your servers, let me know.

     

    4. Is there anything that should be in the COD4 pbconfig that is specific to the game or COD series in general?

    Not that I know of.

    Confused

    Hi,

     

    My server is already streaming.

     

    Below is what I understand so far, correct me if I am wrong.

     

    Levels of protection.

     

    0. PB not turned on in gameserver.

     

    1. PB turned on in gameserver.

    1a. Gameserver streaming to PBBans.

     

    2. Using MD5 Tools/Cvar checks.

     

     

     

    So I believe I am at level 1a now? I only stream to PBBans with no additional cfg/setup.

     

    Regards,

    nhc

    That'd be correct. If you want to setup MD5 tools/cvar checks, here's one way to do it:
    • Go here: http://www.pbbans.com/mci.php
    • Select "Overview" next to the game you want
    • Select "View MD5s"
    • Copy all of the MD5's (everything below the // ****{ PBBans xGAMEx Cheat MD5 List }****) and paste them into a new file. Save the file as something like pbbans.md5
    • Upload the file to your server's /pb/ directory.
    • Open up pbsv.cfg and add the following:

      pb_sv_md5toolfreq 60 //[Md5 Check Fequency, in seconds]
 pb_sv_md5toolempty // Empties any previously set Md5 checks
 pb_sv_load pbbans.md5 // Load the file containing the checks

      Set the pb_sv_md5toolfreq to whatever number you'd like, the PBBans config uses 30, but I use 60 as our server sees a lot of traffic. The pb_sv_md5toolempty will empty any previously set Md5 checks so you don't keep re-adding them. pb_sv_load pbbans.md5 will load the file called pbbans.md5.

    • Save/upload pbsv.cfg to your server
    • Restart PunkBuster by issuing a pb_sv_restart command, or just simply restart your whole server.
    You would do the same thing above for CVARs as well.

    Should i put PB on or not?

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    its not a new server but :D mostly people get kicked for integrity and how can i fix the lag?

     

    i havent updated the pb when i put it on maybe thats the reason?

    This is similar to the losing key packets issue. Players may be kicked for this due to firewalls, bad router ports, internet loss, failed screenshot, etc.

    Confused

    If I just need to stick to Punkbuster, do I need to upload any cfg files as my PB is a new installation?

     

    How does PB catch cheaters? Does it always update itself?

     

    Thanks for helping the noob!

     

    <n00b> nhc

    The only new configs you really need is adding the settings for PBBans streaming. Other than that, you can optionally add the MD5 checks and also change other settings to suit your needs.

     

    PB (as in PunkBuster) mainly catches cheaters by violations (game hacks, aimbots, etc.), a list maintained by them. PBBans (this site) catches cheaters by MD5 checks/kicks, violations, and screenshots submitted by streaming game admins.
