For whatever reason, I am signed into the forums but I can't access my own account manager.

For whatever reason, this server is not taking screenshots. I have openned up the SVSS file and nothing is in there. These are the settings I am using. Any help would be appreciated. // Universal Recommended BF2 Configs v1.4 // // PunksBusted: www.punksbusted.com // Respected Admins: www.respectedadmins.com // // PB server manual: http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/bf...ex.htm#settings pb_sv_MsgPrefix "PB Server" //[PB Message Prefix] // Increase MaxConDls on larger servers, particularly after new client updates pb_sv_MaxDlRate 3 //[KB/sec requested per file (default=4)] pb_sv_MaxConDls 5 //[concurrent downloads (default=1)] // Default kick length after a violation or restriction pb_sv_KickLen 2 //[minutes (default=2)] pb_sv_CQC 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=1)] pb_sv_Sleep 100 //[# of Milliseconds (default=60)] pb_sv_LogSync 0 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)] pb_sv_LogCeiling 200 //[High log filename serial #] // If you are running a large and busy server, you will probably need to increase // pb_sv_SsCeiling or you may lose screenshots, depending on how often you review them pb_sv_SsFloor 1 //[Low screenshot filename serial #] pb_sv_SsCeiling 1000 //[High screenshot filename serial #] pb_sv_SsCmd "" //[Filename of system command to run after screenshots] //pb_sv_SsPath "www.mattlavoie.com\twgclan\screenshots" //[Path where remote screenshots are saved] pb_sv_SsDelay 0 //[Maximum delay client waits before capturing screenshot] // You can alter the settings of SsWidth/SsHeight/SsXpct/SsYpct to capture // different areas/size of the screen.

Can u plz add this server to the Hub? Hub BF2 (STRS) Thanks, Heffty

Can you link me to some information on how I can take screenshots and where I can access them on my computer? Also...how I can report things I do find. Thanks. Also, how do I know it's streaming? I mean, can I do a check within BF2cc to make sure it is streaming and if it stops what do I do?

Ok, so I placed the following in my BF2cc as instructed. pb_sv_update ... wait 90 seconds pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use pb_sv_restart ... wait 20 seconds pb_sv_task 50 3600 pb_sv_ver pb_sv_USessionLimit 2 pb_sv_AutoUpdBan 1 pb_sv_uconadd 1 63.171.64.205 pbbhub pbbhub pb_sv_writecfg All items were entered in pink under my log and at the end I clicked apply for good measure. You said server is not in Hub. So I dont' know if that's something you have to do or if I do it. If there is any further instruction I'll get on it. Thanks.

Can u add this server to the Hub? Hub BF2 (STRS) I followed the FTP setup found here...http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19266 I restarted but I had no clue how to test via rcon. Not sure what to do at this point or how to even use what I installed to catch hackers. Thanks

Well this certainly isn't noob friendly help I can confirm that being a noob. step 3 Edit your pbsv.cfg and add this command line pb_sv_load pbbans_hub.cfg Where can I find the pbsv.cfg and why doesn't the help guide you link me to tell me where it is. I have no clue what that is, all of a sudden the steps just jump to Edit your pbsv.cfg and expects you to know what and where that is. I didn't even have a FTP program on my computer. In doing this I had to contact my server provider to get FTP access and do all kinds of crap. This is taking me forever. If you want a noob to catch a hack you're going to have to get alot more elementary than this. EDIT: Alright...I got this file off my server provider. I did not know I had to do that! So frustrating. Now in step 5 it tells me to go ot rcon or something but I have no idea what that is either. So much for this being easy to set up.

My clan recently got sponsered and now has a 32 slot ranked server along with a 12 slot unranked server for matches. We were sponsered by FPS Gaming Communities and the fellow who provided me with these servers is CMDR Hawk. As I am relatively new to administrating servers and I would like to know how to catch hackers. I have seen screenshots of different hackers in here, but I don't know what exactly to look for or how to set my server up to take shots or be updated with the proper punkbusters stuff. I have updated it throug the control panel and that is about as far as I have gone. I would like to know where to start in these forums as to learning about how to spot hackers. Secondly, I have been having a problem playing BF2pro on some servers. I have gotten kicked via punkbuster for a MD5 tool check for the file vtuneapi.dll. Any help with that would be appreciated. Thank you, Heffty
