[PsB:4656 V004EFE39] 8f1185baf49903aa4f51286714a1f21a "[HOD] E5USN" "66.190.154.91" GAMEHACK #80045
as far as i'm aware on the 1/02/06 non-cheat software caused some of the kicks for Violation #80121 and not #80045 this will have to be appealed on the PsB site click me and maybe a trouble ticket raised if there is a further problem click me

pb_sv_cvar cl_yawspeed IN 0 140
pb_sv_cvar cl_pitchspeed IN 0 140
These restrictions counter some "mortar bot" scripts which have been made to essentially automate the targeting with the mortar. There are some other suspect uses of the cl_yaw/pitchspeed cvars but the mortar scripts are of most concern, and anyway the other things seem to be tackled between these restrictions and cl_freelook IN 0.
cl_pitchspeed sets the speed that the player looks up and down if using the keyboard keys for looking up and down, while cl_yawspeed sets the speed for looking left and right. However the commands for these keys, (+lookup, +lookdown, +left & +right) also work in scripts to automatically line up and set the angle of the mortar weapon. The scripts are not particularily straightforward to use, for example they only work from set positions and have to start from the correct angle and whatnot, requires the user to tweak for their FPS settings, plus they are also inflexible in that of course they will only target the pre-made target locations.
With free reign over cl_pitchspeed and cl_yawspeed, the mortar bots can be fairly reliable, fast to target and quite deadly. The scripts can be defeated entirely by only allowing these cvars to have the value of 0, and this is currently used in European leagues. I've relaxed the reccomendation here to allow between 0 and the default of 140 because some players do like to play the mortar one-handed on a ciggy break, for example, and the maximum speed of 140 still makes the mortar scripts less reliable (and crucially, at least as slow as a human, yet still nowhere near as flexible and skilled as a talented mortar player).
Further, 140 being in the allowed range means it will not be a problem as a Punkbuster-enforced restriction: 140 is the default value and so if 140 is not allowed then players would have to manually change their settings or be kicked from the server. When using ETPro to restrict cvars then going with the League's restriction of 0-only is more palatable, since ETPro will force cvars into the allowed range and there's no problems.
Update: cl_yawspeed and cl_pitchspeed are no longer useful restrictions if ETPro 3.2.0 is being used, as +lookup and +lookdown have been nuked. This resolves the above.
so in answer to your question Sandrock .. if you think script kiddies are invading your server .. use the tools at your disposal to limit their script capabilities :)

and it works both ways for cod tooWell the topic is
And he wouldnt be getting a syntax error if the "/" worked.
-
it works both ways and if you just type pb_myguid the \ is added auto (rtcw/et).... not sure about other gamesNo the / in front will make it not work just type in pb_myguid or pb_plist, I think thats why he got the syntax error.

You have been banned from the server by a server admin or because of excessive teamkilling
I was in the game and they put a message up saying I was beeing banned for being on a master ban list
if banned for excessive teamkilling
the admin of the server has applied a local ban and you need to contact him for a ban query .. as always go armed with your guid .. the following is what i give out to anyone querying a ban with me:
1. Load up RTCW multiplayer
2. Bring down the console (should be the tilde key - above tab)
3. Type /pb_myguid and hit return
4. Type /condump guid.txt and hit return
This will create a text file in your Return To Castle Wolfenstein/Main folder named guid.txt containing the text from the console. Copy and paste the GUID from there and include it in any communication about a ban. Don't copy and paste your CD key.
are you sure pb is enabled :P
-
Yep thats why there is over 12,000 server's up and running for the cod series.7100 just for cod 2.
yup .. was the same story with cod1 when it came out ..from what i've seen so far IW learned nothing at all from that debacle .. fact is if it was not for mods cod1 would not have lasted a year .. lets see how long standard cod2 lasts :)
-
i still use pbweb to update the linux servers i run because pbsetup can not run without a GUI (last time i checked :P )
-
all bans are by guid and that is based on your cd key .. without going into the technichal side of things :P its impossible for someone to get your guid as long as you have not passed your cd key to anyone :)
your post says you just kicked them, did you try banning them ?
first do pb_sv_plist to get the information you require .. then pb_sv_banguid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(x=the 32 character guid of the player you want to ban)
you can also ban by IP using either pb_sv_banmask or the old q3 method:
pb_sv_banmask 12.123.123.12 (12.123.123.12 = bad guys static ip)
If the IP is dynamic enter pb_sv_banmask 12.123(12.123 is bad guys ip range) ,this will effectively ban 65,000 people from
entering your server along with the bad guy (details on how to ban by IP using the old method is shown below)
How to ban by IP using old Q3 rcon method
If the bad guys IP is static then there is no problem , first thing to check is if the filterban variable is on or off;
/rcon seta g_filterban 0/1 (0 = IP banning is off 1 = IP banning is on)
next we add the llama's IP
/rcon addIP 312.27.48.132 (pb_sv_banmask 312.27.48.132 has the same effect)
job done
if his IP is dynamic you need to do a little more work .. first stage is to collect some IP addresses he connects with .. it will look something like this;
312.27.48.120
312.27.48.38
312.27.32.12
312.27.32.89
312.27.48.10
312.27.48.91
312.27.32.140
notice that the common numbers are 312.27.48 and 312.27.32 ... what we do now is ban all IP's within that range like this
/rcon addIP 312.27.48
/rcon addIP 312.27.32
this will filter all IP's in the range of 312.27.48.0 through 312.27.48.255 and 312.27.32.0 through 312.27.32.255 this effectively bans your lamer without banning a whole IP range that affects a lot of innocent people
if we just ban the whole IP range
/rcon addIP 312.27
this bans all IP's from 312.27.48.0 through 312.27.255.255
( we get 65,000 people by multiplying 255x255)
your call , its your server, ban 65,000 in one stroke or do a little work and ban a llama
another bit of advice would be to use a remote console for admin work such as HLSW .. saves a hell of a lot of time and typing,even when in game :)
and last but not least :) get your server streaming here and get the most up to date protection your server can get re cvars and md5 scans .. its the least your hard worked server deserves :D

You have tried to make me look stupid.
i dont have to try, your posts do it for you ...oops i posted again
by the way the second post you refer to is entirely untrue so dont base anything on that
Please no need to flame. Is it or is not a fact the same person has been multiple times caught cheating?
on different servers yes .. due to the fact all server admins do not use the PBBans or psb banlist's to compliment their own server pbbans.dat file :rolleyes:
-
you obviously have a hard time understanding things ... so no more explaining from me
you have had the same answers in one shape or form on every forum you posted your spammage on
i found the first line of post #19 to be most relevant here

Globally Unique Identifier or GUID is a set of numbers derived from your cd key that is impossible to duplicate,all our bans are based on the GUID of a players cd key so effectively if you get banned you need to buy a new cd
and direct from the manual:
What is a guid?
In general, GUID is an acronym that stands for �globally unique identifier�. The guid inside PunkBuster is used to identify players with something more solid than their playing name or IP address. Your guid is loosely based on the cdkey that was used to install the game on your computer. When Server Admins kick or ban a player from their server(s), PunkBuster uses the player's guid to enforce the kick/ban. Since it is based on the game installation, it is a better way to identify individual players than by looking at their IP address or playing name. For those concerned about privacy, PunkBuster uses a 128-bit one-way hash (a mathematical function) to generate the guid from the cdkey so that no one can figure out or compute your cdkey by knowing your guid.

I hacked on AA and got banned GUI HW BANN

Take a good look at PunkSBusted Master Ban Index (MBI). You can find some of the same names, banned over and over again.
first point - this is not punksbusted
second point - punksbusted do not have a Master Ban Index (they use a MBL)
name='shifty_moves' date='Mar 9 2006, 06:06 PM' post='43062']It is PunkBuster claim they scatter cheaters like roaches. In fact PunkBuster is offering cheaters a place to hide. By you own admission. You cant EVEN stop the 11 people on YOUR Global Hardware Ban list.
the 11 bans on pbbans MBI are not Globally banned as far as i am aware and if someone connects to your server and gets kicked for a multihack the standard time is a 2 minute kick untill the server admin makes it a ban by adding the lamer to his server pbbans.dat file .. in other words the same player can connect to the same server numerous times until the server admin adds him to his pbbans.dat file .. when that happens the hacker can move on to another server and do the same .. also, its worth remembering that server admins can download and intergrate our 11 bans with any that are already on their pbbans.dat and make it harder for the lamers who cheat to find a decent server to play on ..if every server admin adopted this approach then maybe hackers would think twice about installing hacks .. on a personal note i would like to see EvenBalance issue hardware bans for every detected cheat violation,now that really would make them think twice :)

[PsB:4296 S04E88AD8] 4c7cef508c9dded5f5ad603a415cf3e9 Last Play date today. Look it up
thats a punksbusted ban and not a PBBans one
some info:
PBBans is a privately run anti-cheat site staffed by volunteers and paid for by those same volunteers .. we are very much pro punkbuster here, as its the best anti cheat software out there and head and shoulders above anything else i have come across .. if it offends you so much, play on servers that have pb disabled,its not mandatory to have pb enabled.
my personal opinion is that EA and the Betafield series sux big time .. have you actually contacted EvenBalance to voice your concerns or are you under the misapprehension that pbbans is EvenBalance/punkbuster
to sum up .. if a player is caught using a hack on a streamed server then the ban is added to our MBI,its entirely up to the server admins who frequent our site wether its added to their pbbans.dat

so help me out here.... wasnt my ip or game key, it wasnt my pc, but i am still the one you shit on for this?.
I was the one who put PB on the CHP servers, and had to talk real fast to get it there.
And no i'm not stupid enough to put PB on to only get caught myself.
Mr x can confirm the conversations we had at the time.
I only really object because the whole point of notoriouses post is simply to try and make me look like a cheat. I don't MY PC and game and guid are clean.
Most of CHP's are generated.
They wouldn't put PB on for ever...hmm i wonder why.
I am not on the master ban list, i would however while i'm here like to know more about the MR Burns ban thing. is he or isnt he?
hmm i thought notorious would at least know his own clan members ..apologies .. not bothered what anyone calls themselves ..the ban is by guid as all our bans are, and that particular guid is still on the MBI and will remian so end of ..want to know more about MrBurns ..ask him
-
its always a good idea to check here for PB supported games problems before trying anything else.
click your game and then click the FAQ on the next page
-
Well I do my best but my powers are limited
I'll be switching PB back on on CTF soon, problem is I know so little about it, and on the Noble mod it has a tendency to lag
Any chance you could answer the question though please?
Alec
your question answered itself ..he is still on the MBI
-
So his remaining in the "convicted cheaters" usergroup indicates his appeal was unsuccessful then?
I'm disappointed in the guy, I need to spend more time looking around here and see who really are the naughty boys and girls
why bother?
i notice your server has no anti cheat tool enabled which is like a magnet for hackers :P
-
Lo Fozz :) Hope everyone is well and good,
I was after some advice, I would like to place the md5 tool on our server the 1.3 one on the raistbox and wanted to know how to go about it, thought i may put it on there and suprise a few peeps :P :lol:
hehe,still retro gaming eh :D
come and have a chat on irc sometime and we can discuss exactly what or who your hoping to surprise and maybe thrash out the best approach for an effective solution :D

direct from the manual:
"I keep getting kicked by PunkBuster for "Blocked O/S Privileges"?
Please temporarily disable other security type programs you have running such as anti-virus, process guard, SDProtector, etc. to find out which of them is blocking PB's access to resources on your computer. You either need to run PB without the blocking program(s) or play on non-PB servers. Also make sure you run the game under an Administrator or equivalent account under Windows. If you do have access an admin account, you can right click on the application you want to run and select "Run As". This will allow you to give admin access to that program and should allow you to play with a limited user.
the full FAQ for betafield2 can be found here click me
-
hmmm not a bad idea that
thread closed
-
they dont call it betafield2 for nothing :P
-
Unless that server is streaming he cant be added to the banlist regardless of what info you have.
that is quite correct IcheBAN
the question i immediately asked myself was ..how do you demo a suspected hacker if your still hardware banned ... unless the server had pb disabled,which in that case i would say "what do you expect" :)
-
I think it's already forgotten and maybe I shouldnt have made the comment. But I was really suprised when a pbbans admin was spreading rumours that 10 CHP were caught on one night, including the clan owner. That was BS... At that time, i didnt think very high of pbbans, so registered to see if maybe my image of pbbans was wrong.
If you take that and the fact that our server admin was denied to stream with pbbans I had the feeling that pbbans was anti CHP for some reason. That's all...
But like I said, I registered to see if I was right about pbbans, being an arrogant bunch of people, and i was wrong... :rolleyes:
if i remember right your server admin at the time had a global ban flagged against him :P
all water under the bridge now .... aliases have never meant anything to me as we ban by guid :D
who is this pbbans admin btw?

:jam:
upped to streaming game admin ..welcome aboard m8 :D
