Hey igloo straight to the point as usual :D .

If your md5 and cvar checks are loaded from pbsv then : do pb_sv_load pbsv.cfg via rcon after the match has started .. cb configs clear cvar checks and md5s after every round . If you adjust the cb config it would lack the certified bit . the above will reload the checks . Maybe if you do that your guys wont kick my team ( team fruity ) after accusing one of our guys of wall hacking when he got a lotto kill and we then won the map ;) . i remember hanging around to argue the rudeness of it until getting kicked myself :o Hope this works for you . :) Gobbo ( aka |fruity|Gr4pe )

The player in the demo shoots through the very edge of the cannon . Lots of bugs like that in et maps especially custom ones . Just try to re create it to find the answer . i only see this player make one kill ? then an error message comes up .

Looks like a bug imo .

pbsvc is the server side file i think . You need to update via punkbusters pbsetup : http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-bf2.php or use the pbsec off the same page . pbsetup is the easiest way i have found client side for any pb game updates .

Ran pbsetup and haven't encountered any problems . Dont think there is any need to delete pb folder contents before it though . Guess its a bit tricky if you run vista and or norton blockitall wall :o Only thing i noticed with the new PB services is game lags/fps drops quite often . Although cant confirm if PB is the culprit or my PC is going to the great electronic heaven soon ... Quite a few places on googling claim it is caused by PB update but who knows !? = Prolly Foxdie if anyone :P

All patches can be done via ftp then restart your server . Usually copy and paste the run files into the first folder eg you see etmain and your mod folders then below the etded and x86 files that you will replace. cant remember which files your swapping with patch 1.01 but it should be self evident :)

A common theme from the posts i read this morning was Norton internet security blocking games . Then you respond you are on norton :P . would seem coincidental you are on norton , turn auto rules off ..eg make changes to norton and about the same time you encounter/notice problems . There are plenty of free trials for DECENT security software available . As i understand it a condom over your Lan cable is as effective as norton :P :P and will free up 40% of your system resources :o On topic though If i were encountering such problems i would fully re boot my router via control panel then double check my internet setup in winblows. if that didn't solve it i would download and try new security software switching off the old .

I haven't encountered this one ,but google my all seeing interweb buddy reports lots of people putting this down to either router going nuts or Norton internet security blocking net .? http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtop...fc111b506de98dd Have you checked also you haven't picked up some malware/spyware or virus ? few other people report this as a problem Also. If it isn't any of these sry bud but i don't know .

pb_sv_cvar com_maxfps out 0.000001 40 line from the mcl and our pbcvar.cfg . Not sure where you picked up IN 44 . Some one local server side has set this no ? :concur: with fozzer best to cap fps @ 40 - 125 max .

If this player is in the system with a cheat cvar catch then he is banned automatically from my server midnight spikage . If he wishes to appeal his ban then he should hit the appeal this ban button under his ban details . If your favorite server isn't streaming to pbbans maybe you should encourage that servers admins to come here and sign up. Or go find yourself a better protected server to call home :) If the player is stating he downloaded a config with this in it then he should be able to provide a link which would get the ban overturned prolly .If not he is a cheater and do you really want to play with cheaters ? .

Sounds an interesting clash with ET Quake Wars :P

your friend can appeal his ban and send in the file in question . This will confirm if it is a mistake or not . Usually an appeal this ban button is on the ban itself .

If i read you correctly to get a cheater banned via pbbans you would need a demo or a screenshot backed up with your servers log data . or if you have set cvar and md5 checks hope that they catch your cheater . there are tutorials how to's and discussions in the private areas of the forums on these topics .

Hi best place to start for learning commands is Punkbuster themselves . for ET i would use : http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/et-ad/index.htm All commands plus descriptions of commands . specifically for screenshots : http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/et...htm#screenshots to take a screen shot you need to have rcon access and do : PB_SV_GETSS and pb slot number . Anyhow have a read and then experiment is best advice :)
