its a pb issue. PB cannot always retrive the GUID age of a certain player. a honest player can play for hours before the PB server will get his guid age. more-over, all players disconnect and reconnect to the PB server on map-change, so all their status is lost and needs to be retrived again, so a player that had a guid-age listed last map, might not have his guid-age listed now. PB obviously dropped the guid-age thingie, propobly because some1 might be able to manipulate the date or something.

had to turn off PB better to play with some cheaters then with no1 at all. hope you guys keep us updated on whats going on and when its resolved.

yeah we got it here too. like 2/3 of the players get booted for #9006, over and over again. i myself dont have a problem, but thats damn wierd. some of my admins get booted too, they say they didnt install anything resently. servers half-empty :(

ETpub 0.8.x has a g_spoofOptions cvar

IMO people have problems with 2.6 because they need to install patches and stuff (and the 2.60b is even worse). need to post a link for ET 2.60b FULL install everywhere. otherwise i cant see why players dont like 2.6, the mod is the same => the gameplay is the same. just less bugs and exploits.

etpub 0.8.x with omni 0.66 ran fine on my server. maybe its time to move to 2.60 <_<

ETpub 0.8.1 supports spree's, multikills and death spree's, all with sounds. check the documintation for settings.cfg (after the shurbbot documintation). i wouldnt recommand runing the nightly ETpub 0.9.x, last time i tried it was full for bugs, not sure if its memmory leaks, but the cvars were resetting to defaults every round and stuff.

there is a cvar for that: pb_sv_CvarFreq 6 //[# of range checks per minute] and you got around 650 cvars in the confing, so itll take about a hour an a half to scan each machine for all cvars. but you dont scan all the cvars do you?! and it doesnt metter, because i dont think some1 will be fooling with the pb cvar check, you never know what cvar its going to scan next, you might be kicked.

eeehm, TCE is a total conversion of ET. there is no arty and no medics. its something like CS. but yes, it depedns what you mean by "tweaking" the game. i cant play with the wide-screen for example, i set it back to 3:4. and btw, if i remember correctly, there arent too many things you can change and tweak in TCE, it mostly says "cheat protected"

i have coded stuff into ETadmin_mod myself, and i must say its one of the biggest coding mess i have ever seen... anyway, could you at least post what functionality does it add to the ETadmin_mod?

i myself didnt have any problems... as i allowed PB at the firewall. the new update has upgrated the PB software to BF2142/ETQW style. no more PB starts from in-game, game spacific. they changed it because of the Vista windows premission problems. now, there are 2 servicies that have to be ran, PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe PnkBstrA has to run all the time on your system, even when youre not playing games. while not playing, its in a "sleep mode" and waits for PB supported game to launch. when you start a PB supported game, the PnkBstrA will fire up PnkBstrB, and thats the service thats doin all the PB checks. so you have to allow PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe on your machine thrue programs like anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware or others alike that can block them.

im for the 2.60b as well, more secure, less crashes... everyone happy.

AHAHHAHAHHHHHHHAHAHHAAAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHHHHHAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAAAAHHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAAA i pissed myself LMAO!!! norton softwere is junk, stopped using it years ago.

does anyone knows what cvar/ combination of cvars can cause ET to look like this? or any other reason that can cause it...

i also think its a glitch, pb is far from perfect. ive once saw pbss that got the players desktop picture :blink: (it would seem like here, but a desktop pic cannot move/change) i would seggest to take a demo or somthing if the player behaving suspeciusly.
