This may not work for everyone but getting everything to work together can seem like a bit task at first however, once you get set up you are golden. I'm new to the server admin thing but I use the following setup: pbsv.cfg (sets PB parameters, Webtool info, etc) pbsvuser.cfg - I have just few lines ;Load Custom Display Messages pb_sv_load pb_custom_display_tasks.cfg ;Load PBBANS configs pb_sv_load pb_pbbans.cfg ;Load Punksbusted configs pb_sv_load pb_psb.cfg ;Load AON configs pb_sv_load pb_aon.cfg This line: pb_sv_load pb_custom_display_tasks.cfg Loads my custom display message I can't scrolling This line: pb_sv_load pb_pbbans.cfg Loads the PBBans streaming and CVAR/MD5 checks This line: pb_sv_load pb_psb.cfg Loads the PSB streaming and CVAR/MD5 checks This line: pb_sv_load pb_aon.cfg Loads the AON streaming and CVAR/MD5 checks The TWL Config file had previously been placed on the server as pbsvuser.twl. Now for a TWL Match I simply rename my pbsvuser.cfg to pbsvuser.ihs (used ihs to indicate our cfg file) and rename the pbsvuser.twl to pbsvuser.cfg and restart PB. Once the match is over you just reverse the process, restart PB and you are back to your regular setup. That method has been working well for us so far. If you aren't streaming to PSB or AON simply ignore those lines and just focus on the PBBans line.

Maybe you need to update the name? Not sure if that is the issue. pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub

Are they getting Globally banned by joining your server? Are they already Globally banned? It seems it would be better to not have the people playing on your server that are Globally banned however, that is your choice as server admin.

Here is a link to a post. I had the same question. You'll need to be a Streaming Game Admin with access to your teams servers in Account Manager. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?sho...mp;#entry115275 That is to configure a greeting for all players entering the server. To make a custom greeting for a player, click Manage Greetings in Account Manager. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?sho...hl=Hub+Greeting

Found this link in a AON forum post. Some users have reported the black ss issue resolved after installing the tweaked drivers. May not work for everyone but a possible solution for some. http://www.tweakforce.com/index.php?option...c=DESC?91480970 Here is the forum link: http://www.airdaleops.com/index.php?topic=26126.0

Not sure if this post will help. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?sho...tall+punkbuster Here is a link to PBSetup information which are probably already aware of. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Not sure exactly but I'm leaning toward the issue is with PB (EvenBalance) since the issue extends across multiple games. I had to manually update both AA and COD4 after getting kicked by a server for PB Init Failure. Usually the PB Client will update via the server when there is an update.

I've not played SOF2 however, I'm guessing PB would work the same. I've gotten the same thing before and needed to update my PB Client manually. Just a thought. Hope that helps.

Shouldn't have to copy the file into the folder. With pbsetup.exe you can add a game from the drop down. It should already have your installation path but verify. I keep my pbsetup.exe in it's own directory, away from any game directory. Multiple games can be added and all updated in one clean sweep. That has been my experience with pbsetup.exe. Makes manually updating easy.

Great!! I'll check it out. Also If we have suggestions for checks where should the suggestions be submitted? Thanks,

What is the process to determine what checks should be in place? What is the process to determine what the settings should be? Example: pb_sv_cvar "Throw_M84_Stun _fEffectDuration *" IN 20.000000 A player with a setting other than 20 would receive a warning and probably kicked from the server. How is it decided that 20 is the correct setting? I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I'm new to server administration but would like to learn more and attempt to contribute to the anti-cheat community. Thanks,

It seems both AON and PBBANS (04FEB08 Checks) have removed all M84 checks. My concern is, if the checks were in place before most likely they should be in place now but with updated settings matching v2.8.3. How can the default settings be determined? I noticed the Throw_M84_Stun_fEffectDuration had been changed to 12 and I read about it on the AON fourms while PBBANS was coming back online. What is the command to see the settings?

With the new release of AA v2.8.3 the pre-2.8.3 CVAR checks are now kicking for the M84 Stun violations. Example: ScriptLog: Console Message: *WARNING*: Cvar Throw_M84_Stun _fEffectDuration * (=12) must be EQUAL TO 20 Log: *WARNING*: Cvar Throw_M84_Stun _fEffectDuration * (=12) must be EQUAL TO 20 Here are the M84 CVAR check if see in the AA CVAR checks file: pb_sv_cvar "Throw_M84_Stun _fEffectDuration *" IN 20.000000 pb_sv_cvar "Throw_M84_Stun _fMaxAudIntensity *" IN 1.000000 pb_sv_cvar "Throw_M84_Stun _fMaxVisIntensity *" IN 1.000000 pb_sv_cvar "Throw_M84_Stun cExplosionEmitter *" I've removed the CVAR checks for now but have several questions. How are the correct CVAR settings determined? How many current CVAR checks will need to be adapted to the new v2.8.3 release? Thanks,

YEYYYYY!!!!!!! So glad to have PBBANS back online!! :D

I certainaly appreciate the response. I've been using RCON Commander but after seeing ModernRcon, RCON Commander seems a bit sluggish. ModernRcon seems to be a more streamlined and easier to use. Thanks again! :)

I'm hoping to get some assistance with creating some server admin scripts. Example: Have a script to quickly set the gametype and restart the map or quickly set other game variables. I've been working a simple one but it seems to cause the server to become unresponsive. Start Code: set g_gametype koth wait 5 map_restart End Code: I'd save the code as gamekoth.cfg, perform an /rcon exec gamekoth.cfg in the console. The script seems to execute but causes the server to hang. Entering the commands outside of the script work fine. Basically I'm attempting to make it easier to switch the server set up around without messing the default files. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

That is exactly what I needed!! Thank you very much!

I apologize in advance if this topic is a duplicate however, my searches did come back with positive results. How do I determine the frame rate of my COD4 game? In America's Army there was a button which would give information (fps, netspeed, channels, etc). Thanks,
