  1. PBBans Hub Server Search

    Server Status: Server is streaming via Hub

    Server Info

    Clan Tag: {DvT}

    Server IP: 8.9.37.170:1716

    Last Streaming: December 6, 2006 3:32 am

     

    forum upgrade applied

     

    once the log forwarding is back online would you like us to pass your streamed info to other AAO anti cheat sites (CB /AON/ACI) ?

  2. I have received your chosen username and password m8, but, your server does not show as "new server" waiting to be added to the rep.

    This means there is an error at your end.

    Things to check in your root pb folder:

     

    that a pbsvlog.cfg exists

     

    that the pbsvlog.cfg contains the following info:

    pb_sv_LogAddr 63.171.64.22 // this never changes

    pb_sv_LogPort 24389 // this never changes

    pb_sv_LogUser USERNAME

    pb_sv_LogPw PASSWORD

     

    (username and pass are chosen by you and should be passed to a staff member via forum pm)

     

    that the command line:

    pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg has been added to your pbsv.cfg

     

    and last but not least that a pb_sv_restart has been executed via rcon

     

    just repost here when your ready for another check :)

     

    as an alternative you might want to consider streaming via the PBBans Hub - all this requires is 5 rcon commands:

    /rcon pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use

    /rcon pb_sv_restart

    /rcon pb_sv_USessionLimit 1

    /rcon pb_sv_uconadd 1 63.171.64.245 pbbans pbbans

    /rcon pb_sv_writecfg

     

    hf and good luck :)

    streaming fine now. :)

    we have a log forwarding service ongoing atm that forwards your streamed info to other AAO AC sites (ACI /AON /CB ) would you like this enabled ?

  4. we run a log forwarding service to other anti cheat sites :)

     

    atm you are streaming to PBBans using the Hub.

    If you join ACI you will have to use their standard method of streaming - thats 2 anti cheat sites benefitting from your streamed info .. we can make that 4 ANTI cheat sites by forwarding your streamed info to AON and CB

     

    just say the word :)

  5. added and streaming via the Hub.

    forum upgrade applied welcome aboard. :)

  7. for future reference;

    enter your server ip/port here http://www.pbbans.com/msi.php

    this will tell you 3 things;

     

    1. the PBBans Hub is online and working perfectly.

    2. your server is streaming via the Hub with no probs.

    3. if requested your logs are forwarded to the stated AC sites.

     

    like so:

    Log Forwarding: ACI CB AON

     

    everything at this end is functioning perfectly and if anything was wrong with any Hub feature our streaming game admins would be the first to know. :)

  8. the player himself lodged the appeal and the IP is an exact match for the player who got flagged on the ROX server with a cheat violation.

    If he is so sure he never connected to the ROX server then I would suggest 2 scenarios.

     

    1. He is lying for one reason or another.

    2. Someone else has access to his pc and joined the ROX server.

     

    Whatever scenario is correct is by the by, the ban for pbguid 75fd83e0fa1e758d156105f23bdc3d37 will remain on our database unless a successful trouble ticket appeal is made via the EvenBalance website.

     

    Here is an extract from the ROX server logs that are streamed "live" :

    The server logs are untouched by human hand and prove beyond doubt that the player / or at least someone using his machine did join the ROX server, although he did not stay long :)

  9. your server is indeed added to the Hub but it is not streaming .. a question for you ... do you stream to AASA using the standard method of streaming ?

     

    AASA scirpts disable PBUCON and that is a neccessary requirement for Hub streaming .. this is a contentious issue that has been discussed on various AAO sites ... basically AASA added this disabling feature without informing their members and anyone who complains is pointed to the AASA TOS agreement that states that you must stream to AASA and them alone.

    Hardly the actions of an AC site that puts the whole AAO community first and foremost but maybe proposed changes for future releases of PBUCON will change their minds Posted Image

     

    back to your initial question .. a forum upgrade will only be applied when your server is streaming without interuption, if AASA is the culprit there is nothing stopping you streaming using the standard method to AON or CB and then stream via the Hub and forward your logs.

    This way instead of 1 AC site (AASA) benefiting from your streamed info, 4 would benefit (PBBans/AON and CB)

    If enough admins did this maybe AASA would have to have a rethink Posted Image

  11. if you look at the ban details all the information is there for you to see.

     

    Game Soldier of Fortune II

    Date Caught November 27, 2006 at 8:44 pm

    GUID 75fd83e0fa1e758d156105f23bdc3d37

    IP Address 67.169.3.211

    Alias *AnT

    Violation VIOLATION (VIDEO DRIVER HACK) #90003

    Extra Info Violation (VIDEO DRIVER HACK) #90003

    Caught By ROX (Hub)

    Server IP 70.86.47.123:20100

    Ban Appealed On November 28, 2006

     

    someone with an IP of 67.169.3.211 and a pbguid of 75fd83e0fa1e758d156105f23bdc3d37 with the alias of *AnT connected to server 70.86.47.123:20100 on the 27th of November and was promptly kicked by EvenBalance for a video driver hack violation.

    These are facts that I have confirmed are true via streamed logs and are indisputable .. so no matter what your player says either he or someone who has access to his pc was definitely on that server.

     

    This particular violation and ban was generated by EvenBalance themselves and the only way it will be removed from our database is if the ban is successfully appealed via the PB Trouble Ticket system which can be found here click me

     

    Some general info for ya.

    Cheat/Hack Violations:

    When PunkBuster detects a cheat or hack by repeated positive identification on a player's computer, a violation is raised. These violation numbers are 50000 and higher. Families of cheats are listed below. Resolution: Remove cheats and hacks from the computer.

    #50000s - Aimbot

    #60000s - Wallhack

    #70000s - Multihack

    #80000s - Gamehack

    #90000s - 'Cheat' Video Drivers

    #100000s - Speedhack

    #110000s - Autofire

    #120000s - Game Hook

    #130000s - Attempted PunkBuster Hack

     

    If a player generates any of the above violations on a PBBans protected server the ban will be added to our MBI (Master Ban Index) and any appeal will be subsequently denied as a matter of course, this is shown at a glance by the appeal date showing as red, the player is sent an automated mail stating that the appeal was denied.

    Your server does not use the PBBans MBI so the player concerned will be able to play on your server with apparently no problem what so ever, but, if he connects to a PBBans protected server he will not be able to join because he is on our ban index.

    Point of information, our MBI is available for any concerned admin to download and use here click me so the player may actually find he is on a lot more banlist's than just the streaming PBBans servers.

     

    summary:

    This player or someone with access to his pc has picked up a full blown PB violation that was not generated by PBBans but was generated by EvenBalance.

    If the player concerned thinks this ban was made in error, the only way this ban will be lifted is via the PB trouble ticket system.

     

    My personal view

    Not a very good start to any appeal when a lie is told at the very beginning.

    I talked to Ant and he says he has never been to ROX server and he has no idea why this ban log was created.

    It makes me wonder if he deliberately connected to another server to "test" things out and just had the misfortune to choose a PBBans protected one.

    I hope this clears things up for ya, feel free to post the result of his Trouble Ticket here if he has any success :)
