    Steam's Big Picture Beta Out Today

    in Community News

    Posted

    Great idea! I've downloaded the Beta....

     

    However, I'm not about to disconnect my PC and carry it down to the living room to play a game on my 52" TV !

    My plan is to try to get it to stream wirelessly to the TV. The TV is DLNA compliant and I have a wireless Roku box on it. I also have Playon Media Server software running on my PC. If I get it to stream wirelessly with a decent framerate, I'll post back here.

    Yugo,

     

    It sounds like you may think that this site IS PunkBuster.

    This is PBBans, the best 3rd party anti-cheat service available.

    There are many knowledgable and helpful people here, but.....

    It is NOT PunkBuster, which is the anti-cheat program developed and maintained by EvenBalance.

    CoD2 /+smoke bug (solution for kick)?

    in Call of Duty 2

    Posted

    Thanks, Fozzer! :D

     

    Just to clarify for the OP, the command "PB_SV_CVAR +smoke IN 0 0" will NOT kick or block players that type "/+smoke" in the console. But, it will cause their arm to freeze in the air if they try to throw a grenade after typing +smoke.

     

    It's funny to watch them run around with the nade in the air and unable to defend themselves.

    They inevitably get killed, try it again get killed again, and after a few more repeats they leave the server! lol

    Can I ask something?So, you put this : 'PB_SV_CVAR +smoke IN 0 0' the most of people is gonna be kicked...when you open your console game with ' or ~ and write "/bindlist" you can see set in '4' "+smoke" which play the smoke granade when you play with shotguns or guns with allow smoke granade too.My call is: Have another chance of use "+smoke" and don't use to send a smoke granade? times like hold the "+smoke" and make what this another 'post' said, ?Thx

     

    I think that what you are asking is if ALL players will be affected if you add this command.

    The answer is, No. Even though the '4' key is bound to +smoke for all players by default.

    ONLY those that actually type "/+smoke" in the console will be affected.

    Other players can still use the '4' key to throw smoke and will not be affected.

    You're welcome! :D

     

    Interesting problem.... I've played around with it a bit trying to find a way to kick for it or block it. Couldn't find a way to do that. As you stated +Smoke is not a CVAR that you need to enter a specific value for.

     

    But, I did discover that if you put this line in your pbsvuser.cfg, it will screw up the game for any offenders that type "/+smoke" in their console.

     

    PB_SV_CVAR +smoke IN 0 0

    (you need both zero's with a space between - maybe that's why it didn't work for the poster in the other forum you linked to)

     

    Whenever they try to throw a grenade (Frag or Smoke) It causes their arm to freeze in the air, grenade in their hand, without any weapon....hahaha

    If they hit "ESC" or "~" it will release the grenade, but this will be very annoying and disconcerting for them. lol :D

    Now, of course, if the abusers NEVER throw any nades, they won't encounter this nice annoyance. But, who doesn't throw nades in CoD2? :rolleyes:

     

    It will continue this behavior, unless & until they completely exit the game and restart it. Players that don't type "+smoke" in their consoles are not affected.

     

    Try it out and see if this little "fix" meets your needs.

    Hope it helps......

    These are the values that I have set in my pbsv.cfg:

     

    pb_sv_cvarlogging 1 //[1=Reg. Log, 2=Var Log, 3=Both, 0=Neither]Default = 1 NOT 2!

    pb_sv_cvarwalk 2 //[0=disabled, 1-4=Walk through obtained Cvar lists]Default = 0 lower value = less checking

    pb_sv_cvarchangedpulse 50 // 10-90 higher value = less checking, 99=disabled Default = 99

    pb_sv_cvaruserpulse 50 //[Frequency to auto-send CvarUser (minutes)]Default = 99 higher value = less checking, 99=disabled

    pb_sv_cvarfreq 3 // 2-10 higher value = more checking, may cause lag Default = 6

    pb_sv_Restrictions 2 //[0=No, 1=Yes 2=Restrict Macros(default=1)]

     

    Also, check this line in your pbsvuser.cfg:

     

    pb_sv_UpdateGrace 300 //[seconds to wait before Update Failure kick]

     

    This is supposed to affect the time allowed for a player to update their PB before being kicked, but maybe it also affects the time for CVAR violations???

     

    Hope this helps.....

    hello all, i have bought a server by verygame and i would like to stream this server but i have a little problem punkbuster said "server violation #0100 punkbuster disabled"

    who can help me ? :scratchchin:

     

    It sounds like PunkBuster is not enabled on your server.

    Contact your server provider and request that PB be enabled.

     

    Hope it's as simple as that........

    DVARs protect

    You're Welcome! :D

     

    The format is like this:

    // ***********************************************

    // CVAR Checks

    // ***********************************************

    //Clear CVAR Checks

    pb_sv_cvarempty

    pb_sv_cvar com_maxfps IN 44 250

    pb_sv_cvar cl_maxpackets IN 30 100

    pb_sv_cvar rate IN 5000 25000

    pb_sv_cvar snaps IN 20 40

     

    Use IN to specify a range you want the cvar/dvar inside of.

    Use OUT to specify a range you want the cvar/dvar to be outside of.

    No "quotes" necessary...

     

    If a player comes on your server, and is not within the limits you have set, they will receive a warning message to change the cvar/dvar that is out of range. If they don't change it in 5 minutes, they will be kicked automatically.

    Some of the more common programs that can cause "Disallowed Program Driver" are:

     

    Steam - Disable "Ingame Community Chat" in settings

    TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, or Mumble overlays - Disable

    EVGA Precision - Disable

    ATI Tray Tools - Disable

    Riva Tuner - Disable

    Fraps - Update to latest version

    HardWare BAN

    The MAC address gets stripped off at every router hop and takes on the MAC of that router. If you got your server to show you the MAC address of every connecting player, they would all have the same one: the closest router/firewall/pix to the server.

     

    The PB client has a way of picking up the client MAC but even balance no longer uses those for hardware bans I've read. It's too large of a privacy issue, plus game developers would prefer they be able to buy a game over and over again.

     

    Hi Botax - Thanks for that information. Both points make sense! :D

    Just speculating.....

     

    If he is hosting the server himself (Not using a game server provider), then players would be connecting through his router. His router might show the MAC addresses of connected players. He might then "ban" their MAC addresses (by Blocking those MAC addresses in his router).
