DEFIANCE

Thanks for the quick replys and clarifying that "PB_SV_BanEmpty" clears the memory not the dat file. (TSS)Hidinfury - Adding the command to pbsv.cfg was a great suggestion thanks. The PB_SV_AutoUpdBan was already set to "1" kcinc0gnito - Thanks for the info regarding "/rcon pb_sv_banload /home/yourusername/.etwolf/pb/somefile.dat " I didn't know I needed to include the path (thought it would look for the file in the pb directory). Also, I never had a file in the pb folder named pbbans.dat. Since manually creating one, I see the new bans being added into it. Thanks to both of you for the help. The bans are now added and cheaters are being shown the door.

Hi all, I created a problem for myself and am hoping someone can help me. Some of my friends didn't think PB was working, so to prove it to them I implemeted the PB_SV_BanList command and took a Print Screen of the output to post in our private forums. I was trying different commands to see what could be useful and entered the PB_SV_BanEmpty command which as you know clears the pbbans.dat file. I didn't think it was a big deal as I had the screenshot of the bans I deleted. I tried to create a new file and manually typed in everything from the screenshot and tried to use the PB_SV_BanLoad "myfilename" command and in console it says "0 bans loaded from myfilename" I also tried using PB_SV_UpdBanFile "myfilename" to no avail. After playing with this for about two hours I found this site and the Master Bans Index (Master Ban Index (MBI)) Generation Utility (Great Tool). I tried the commands above with the file from your utility, but I can't get a new ban file loaded. It says "0 bans loaded from pbbans.dat". Yet, if I look in the file it has the entries there and I double checked to make sure it was entered in the correct format. (I am placing the file in the PB folder.) I have since gotten another pb_sv_banlist and there are all new entries in there including someone with an altered .exe and an aimbot. I would certainly like to include these new entries into the ban list along with the old entries. What am I doing wrong? Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, D
