work is still ongoing as to how participating admins can check wether their server is streaming using the new method .. atm you will have to take our word for it, but like i said we are aware that admins would like to be able to view their server streaming and its on the "to do" list :)

i have never known streaming to create any lag issues before ..i'm sure our streaming manager will get in touch to help ya out .. E-Mail / MSN Messenger- [email protected] Team Speak IP: 216.37.244.200:8767

both added to hub and both streaming :) and both streaming using the usual method too .. nice1

saves you downloading anything :P PBBans hub users can just sit back and all updates etc are done for ya :)

I thought it would be nice to create a post listing reliable game server providers (after getting enquiries in forum pm asking about it) .. this is not a place to air your whines about one GSP or another .. this is only for those GSP's that have a proven track record for reliability and good support :) first 2 that come up are: http://www.jolt.co.uk/ - full ssh/ftp access and really top class support (see link for full details) http://clan-hosting.org/ -full ssh/ftp access and really top class support (see link for full details)

so did the catch that was made on jolt5 :D

the other psb streamers who are using our PBBans hub have reported no issues what so ever :)

no laughter here m8 .. a lot of people forget that with a beta o/s the support from microsoft and EB is zero .. anyone can overlook that in their haste to get on with trying something new :) hopefully others will now be that much aware after reading about your little saga :) best of luck

yah maester .. i think you might have to spell it out in simple words that your not asking them to stream your servers via a hub .. all your asking is to stream with them using the old method :)

i cant see what the problem is tbh .. you make the normal approaches to psb and get your server(s) streaming in the normal fashion and then you put in your PBBans hub settings .. i have stated before that one of the main things we respect is the admins freedom of choice .. they pay for the server and they should decide whats best for themselves .. wether its streaming in the conventional fashion to either PBBans or psb or give pbucon a go and try multistreaming .. we are putting in the time and effort to test pbucon to see exactly how far we can push it .. dont forget this is still a trial and bugs have been detected and ironed out .. without going into the complexities of it all pbucon is proving to be a really useful utility thus far and there have been no major probs with it at all :) btw .. point of information .. we already have several psb streamers who are trialling the PBBans pbucon system,and more enquiries by the minute .. you saw how busy our irc channel was last night :) PBBans has never played the numbers game but is concentrating on providing our supporters with the 3 things we firmly believe in .. quality/integrity/zero tolerance for cheaters :) and as always its an admins choice to stream were he wants to,but as long as we stick to our ethics we will always have supporters. end of sermon :P

thanks for sharing with us but unless that server was streaming to PBBans at the time there is not much we can do other than empathise :)

any probs m8 just post away :)

there is a revolutionary way of streaming using the recently released pbucon facility from evenbalance. a couple of questions for ya :) do you want a detected cheater on another ET server added to your pbbans.dat without lifting a finger ? do you want a better method of hassle free streaming ? do you want to take advantage of some of the newer features the PBBans team are working on utilising pbucon to its full advantage ? if you answer yes then taking part in the pbucon testing phase is the answer for you .. details can be found here click me an example of using this system to stream .. if there are 100 ET servers using the PBBans hub and a player is detected with a hack on one server .. a few seconds later the other 99 servers have that same ban in their pbbans,dat if you already stream to PBBans please leave your existing setup as it is untill the trials are finished just to make sure no llama's fall through any cracks that might appear :) if you stream to another anti cheat site then just follow the instructions in the link above and hey presto, your multistreaming but you now have the added advantage of being upgraded to streaming game admin and have all the access that our streaming game admins currently enjoy :)

is this a request to stream via the pbbans hub ? if so take a read of this please m8 :) click me

congratulations DynoSauR and welcome aboard m8 .. i hope you found the process painless .. let us know if anything was difficuilt to follow or understand :) btw thats a nice shiny looking avatar you got there lol :P

i see your ban was flagged as a false positive :) just a word of warning m8 .. beta o/s are more trouble than they are worth when used on your main pc .. to test it out just plonk it on another pc/laptop or small hardrive .. even a dual boot is preferable with just the basics running off the beta system :) anyways ..glad it worked out for ya :)

**update** http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18434

defining parameters for all private anti cheat sites to work with would he a hard thig to do .. for example PBBans bans all valid PB catches /md5 hack catches / hack cvar catches .. other anti cheat sites give temp bans for certain md5 / cvar catches .. and another bans for hack cvars in certain games only but not all :) the way forward in my opinion is to impose bans for the full hit, as we have tried and been successful in running certain hacks outside of the game directory and also successfully used undetected hacks that were only detected by cvar checks and nothing else. As always the choice is entirely up to the guys and gals that pay for their servers .. the one question that should be asked is "do i want my server to be as clean as possible?" then make a choice using the above info. I wont argue that some "bad blood" has existed in the past between various anti cheat sites .. all i will say on the matter is that PBBans has always worked to the "quality over quantity" adage and will continue to do so ..its of no concern to us that a million servers stream somewhere else .. the one thing that concerns us is providing a top notch quality service to those server admins that support our views on quality / integrity / and zero tolerance. all who apply for a forum account are manually vetted by staff members .. we use the PBBans mpi3 to verify a clean guid .. if a violation is found that person will not be granted a forum account .. the reason we use the mpi3 is because every ban on there can be verified and backed up by solid evidence .. please note we dont stop a server from streaming because an applicant has a conviction,it just means that someone else has to deal with the PBBans forum stuff because we offer convicted cheaters absolutely nothing :) .. the option is always there for admins to intergrate banlists from various anti cheat sites (i do so myself) ..if i get a query over a ban from another anti cheat site i just point them in the direction of that sites appeal process/wish them luck/forget about it :D The option to use pbucon to stream to more than one repository has been in place for a couple of weeks (its just not viewable to the public yet) .. since EvenBalance released this option click me PBBans has been beta testing and putting pbucon through its paces to see if it was all as viable as it looked :) We are quite pleased with its performance so far and an announcement will be coming sooner rather than later about this feature going "live".

hey colmusturd how about paying this place a visit :) click me i promise ..we dont bite even if asked :D

np m8 .. good luck with your proposed queries .. and thanks for spreading the word .. everything helps out :)

http://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=rules.html thats what we operate :)

well .. before a comment could be made your info is a bit lacking .. what error and plz post the ban link if there is one :) never mind i found it myself http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=10849 firstly let me say that an md5 scan just does not select things out of mid air and randomly name them to that of a hack .. that file must actually be there to be detected :) your clanmate was not falsley accused .. a routine pb md5 scan picked up a bot cfg and the pk3 in his game directory .. not one but two cheat violations relating to the same bot not much doubt about it as far as i can see ..btw the md5 fingerprint that was streamed to an evenbalance repository was an exact match for the hack files found ..so much for the flaws :)

http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=10873 that is flagged up by evenbalance themselves and if you think it was an error you need to do 2 things ..do not make any changes to your game or o/s ..and open a trouble ticket with evenbalance using this link click me .. the key word with any TT query is patience ..if EvenBalance inform us it was a false positive then of course the ban will be removed from our system :)

feel free m8 ..that came as much from the heart as of the head :)
