check your private messages m8 .. you should have received this;
hi,
welcome to pbbans .. i have validated your forum account and set you as game admin .. you should now be able to view all the relevant info to get your server streaming to pbbans .. once this is done just ask a staff member to upgrade your account to streaming game admin .. with each upgrade comes more forum access and more access to what pbbans has to offer
thanks for your support
for streaming try this;
-
try renaming the servercache.dat file in your game's folder to some other name like "servercache.old1" and see if that fixes the problem. That file is used by multiplayer and if it gets corrupted it causes that error. The game will create a new one if one isn't there so you should be OK, but your favorites are stored in that file so keep that in mind.
when i played cod in the early days i had 2 installs that i used with different settings and had no probs
btw congrats on your ban removal .. see, patience did pay off after all :D
-
No its not bannable but a list of 20 PB kicks for the same resone doesnt look good for anyone. I posted here becasue anyone searching for information about this kick may eventually end up here. Them reading this would be better than the information I recieved which was to run PB_enable security 0 which did not fix the problem. As I stated before, the game admins insist its your problem not theirs.
simple solution = play elsewhere :D
-
errrr i may be naive here but what has this to do with anything pbbans related
if admins are running a md5 scan for something that clients are not supposed to have then a mail to the server admin involved would be more appropriate asking for removal of that check
a kick for any md5 scan concerning stock files is not bannable
-
so 10-78 and BH are using PsB banlist .. you will find that any other server that is using their banlist will have you banned as well :)
lucky for you we dont share bans eh DC :D
the best tool for admin work is hlsw .. give it a try, and why not make a seperate install of cod:uo in a different place with just TWL settings etc and play off that when you need to ?
all pb kicks go to the repository but not all are bannable
pb is self updating so once its up and running it normally requires no update maintenance .. the one thing that does require attention is undetected hack cvars and md5 scans, some admins are lazy some are not, at the end of the day i know which servers i would prefer to play on
-
So you can enter the server , right? And then you get message " .... Global Hardware Ban", right?
right .. from what i understand,DC is banned off any server that uses the PsB banlist
DC's pc was a used one but he formatted it and started fresh with no probs
the pbhack ban was raised after DC had some pc probs .. the symptoms of said probs lead me to believe it was a heat problem (either gfx or cpu)
DC did some tinkering with various programmes to try to overclock his system (even though he had probs :P )
conclusion - none of the above would induce a pbhack violation so we are missing exactly what triggered the violation .. a pbhack violation is normally when players raise a violation that corresponds to hacking or interfering with PunkBuster's normal operation, not being a cod person the one thing i have no clue about is the whitelist you mention, if someone could enlighten me please, tnx :)
from what has been posted thus far it seems its going round in circles with no solution in sight so that leaves 2 choices .. get a new cd key and begin gaming again or show some patience and let EB do their checks via the trouble ticket system .. the hard part for DC is reluctantly accepting the ban and starting fresh or waiting for EB to make a decision and accepting that decision regardless of the verdict but at the end of the day thats the choices on offer that i can see
-
who in their right mind would buy a used pc then not format it (after taking a quick peek for any educational stuff that may be hidden on there :P )
you did format ... right ? ... if so all that is on there is self inflicted
I recieved my 130236 Master Ban Index (MBI) Global Hardware ban.
.....
No that's not it or I would have a Global HW ban and not just a ban.
what is it ..a global hardware or plain old ban ?
link ?
point of info .. any genuine pb catch will only be removed if evenbalance mail to say a mistake has been made
after reading all this click me
my one thought was ...unbelievable
-
Yes it does, they all do. they block everything by default and you have to approve the traffic you want allowed. My friggin norton is constantly popping up. Owned your computer long? DC
its a moot point anyway after reading this in an earlier post of Dental's;
10/22/2005 18:33:37 - "Stuart Dunsmore"
Note #3: PB NEVER bans on a negative. Firewalls, or other things cannot cause a PB ban. PB bans only when info is returned to the PB server that raises a violation. Blocking PB will cause an auth, init, packet, or com failure, but never a bannable violation.
-
So, does
mean ? /rcon pb_sv_plist
gives the relevant info you need;
for example
^3PunkBuster Server: Player List: [slot #] [GUID] [Address] [status] [Power] [Auth Rate] [Recent SS] [O/S] [Name]
^3PunkBuster Server: 5 2fgkl64ce3823aae857c01ce9e12e5b7(-) 84.95.201.216:50244 OK 0 2.9 2 (L) ^3Linu^0X
so in the above scenario the player slot number is 5
the command to get a pbss off that particular player would be;
/rcon pb_sv_getss 5
the console will then tell you what number the pbss is .. like so;
^3PunkBuster Server: Screenshot 000041 Requested from 5 ^3Linu^0X
^3PunkBuster Server: 1 Screenshot Requested
so when you look in your pb/svss folder .. screenshot 000041 is the one you want to look at :)

demo's are not accepted here as proof of hacking unless the submitter streams to pbbans evenbalance repository .. if possible contact the server admin of the one you think he was hacking on and let the server admin have the demo .. he can apply a local ban or he may elect to stream to pbbans and place any hacker caught on his server on our Master Ban Index (MBI)
you could maybe think of doing the same :P
if you elect to stream to pbbans,any demo taken on another server must include a screenshot of the plist (you get this by bringing down the console and typing /pb_plist)
a perfect scenario would have the server were the offence happened to be streaming to pbbans, this completely eliminates any accusation of a frame up :)
**update** pbss and demo's are only accepted from streaming servers .. this is so the logs can be crosschecked with those in the rep and prove beyond doubt the integrity of the ban/catch)

when i become jolt head admin for ET i'll make it so :)
just to reitterate .. stock file mismatches = corrupt game file which is cured by re-install
"if only one player was affected let him work it " if someone came to our forum asking questions about it i would like to help them .....thats the best way no? If I dont know then I cant help
now you know :P
-
Just out of interest you are "Jolt RTCW Head Admin" yet only 1 server (rtcw that I can see )is streaming why?
why what ... rtcw as your aware is a dying game ..jolt run 2 free publics (used to be 14) .. simple innit
and fyi i play a fair bit on various servers as well as jolt hence the info about the bloodpack .. i offered what i thought was a bit of friendly advice .. nothing to get uppity about .. the fact remains that every pb kick i have ever seen concerning stock game files has been a corrupt game file that was fixed quite easily .. thats all
-
Well if one of ours got kick for something that looks like a cheat it would be a big deal :huh:
were does cheat come into it ... above is a hyperthetical scenario,and a pretty far fetched one too .. as i said it was more than likely a corrupt game file
-
But why the PB kick if there is nothing wrong ?
Maybe we should take that line out ?
the kick could be for a number of reasons, the main one being a corrupt game file,in rtcw for instance if you download a certain bloodpack and install it you get a kick, uninstall it and all is ok, nothing to worry about imo and those first 2 md5 checks are optional :P
and heres a theoretical scenario for ya .. lets say that ETDED.exe was a renamed cheat, by removing that check you have just opened the gate for it :P
if only one player was affected let him work it out with a patch or maybe a game reinstall
-
Streaming??? I am. Atleast I am pretty sure that I have all that set up correct. I think I have to have it right to be in teamwarefare. It says that it is. Is there any settings that i need to do to update it?
Ok I looked in my servers config and these are in there. Is this what you mean?
seta sv_master3 "master0.gamespy.com"
seta sv_master2 "clanservers.net"
seta sv_master1 "master.sof2.ravensoft.com"
if you elect to stream your cheat logs to an evenbalance repository all your cheaters will be auto added to our Master Ban List,you will get 2 forum status upgrades which will give you more forum access and access to some unique tools for server admins that are provided by pbbans .. if your interested in streaming just update your profile and let a staff member know via the forum or irc (quakenet .. channel #pbbans)
info:
streaming to a repository creates no lag or any adverse effects to your server
only 100% bona fide cheats make it to our MBI (all backed up with original log entries)
streaming makes it impossible for a server admin to fake log entries
our integrity is paramount and we expect the integrity of our streaming admins to be of the same high calibre .. joining this "elite" bunch :P is as easy as upgrading your forum profile and choosing the path you wish to take,either using Foxdie's unique to pbbans jpat tool or adding 4 lines to your pbsv.cfg like this;
pb_sv_LogUser xxxxxxxx //a username of your choice
pb_sv_LogPw xxxxxxxx //a password of your choice
pb_sv_LogAddr 63.171.64.22 //remote_log_address (this is the IP of the repository server do not change)
pb_sv_LogPort 24389 //remote_log_port (this is the port of the repository server,do not change)
then let Bob know your username and password via a forum pm or a pm on irc
its that simple for anyone who wishes to make a true positive contribution to this site and what it stands for ..all you need is a game server and a determination to provide the players that connect to it with the cleanest game environment possible :)
p.s. and it costs nothing :D

i think the key word is optional re ETDED.exe

Here is a screenshot of the error / ban
Now I don't know about you guys, but this guy isn't hacking.. I was over at his house and I installed ET on his computer. I ran it on the vanhero server.. and he get's a hardware ban... Now I'd like to know what he's violating on a fresh install of the game? Lift this ban please, or tell us why it was banned in the first place.
Thanks
vanhero|zissou
a hardware ban means just that, a fresh install of a game does not circumvent a hardware ban and the only recourse after getting a hardware ban is via the evenbalance trouble ticket system
-
i updated his proflile for him
now in convicted cheater group
-
GFP
Ooooo I thought so, but I also thought that maybe there was some sort of amnesty for streamin or something...
no matter what they have to offer,our integrity is paramount so nothing is asked of or given to convicted cheaters :)
-
we have had an instance in the past were a streaming admin was asking if it would be ok to test a cheat on his server so he could train other admins in what to look for ... after we strongly advised him against this he went ahead and tested .. problem was he forgot to disable streaming and ended up on the mbi <_ and got his very own place in the convicted cheaters section>
harsh lesson but unfortunately we operate a zero tolerance policy and as anyone who has been around here for any length of time knows, we value our integrity above all else
anyone who claims to be testing a hack for evenbalance on a public is a liar :D
-
looks like your ban derives from the psb banlist .. go join their forums and try it on there
i hope your ban has been upped by evenbalance to a global one because that means you will not be able to play any pb enabled server which imo should be the fate of anyone caught hacking
-
just a quickie to say welcome to PBBANS RTCW section ... if you have a point of view,info to share or just a question to ask re RTCW then this is the place :)
-
Ok, I updated my profile. I wanted to make sure that you did share ban information with PsB though. I personally know of more RTCW servers that stream to PsB than PBBans and if someone did get caught on my server I'd want to be sure that they were going to be added to the PsB Master Ban Index (Master Ban Index (MBI)) as well. The anti-cheat community should share the list of people that it catches freely.
I recently resigned as a TWL admin because of the way cheaters were being handled by the current RTCW admins. The last straw was when a player from a top OSP team was suspended and then unsuspended because he said the cheater was his nephew living in the same house with him using his same internet connection and also one admin there said that he knew the guy and used to play RTCW with him and knew he didn't hack. That personally doesn't cut it for me and the bias over that incident stunk. After I resigned over this the TWL admins over RTCW did change or someone higher up changed their mind and resuspend the player for one year.
I also did have the League and Ladder access at PsB which also had a GUID Detective which did help to cross reference the GUID's a player used in a variety of games. I don't know if PBBans has something similar or not but, I would hope there would be some secured page where admins can rummage through that stuff and try to catch and re-catch hackers. Especially ones who want to compete. I don't know exactly how many hackers I caught while at TWL but, I'm probably responsible for 10-30 getting suspended from TWL in RTCW and other games as well since I'd sometimes find players who hacked RTCW but, only played competitively in other games. I'd like to keep on trying to catch all the hackers I could and turning them in regardless of whether I'm a TWL admin anymore. So that's what I'm about.
Dyno .. let me make this quite clear m8 .. coz maybe it does not shine through ..we dont share anything with convicted cheaters ... and psb have quite a few on their books .. evenbalance make it impossible to stream to both psb and pbbans .. so its up to you who you stream with ... our banlist is there to be used by any concientious admin,safe in the knowledge that every ban is backed up by 100% irefutable proof, our forums are as clean as we can make them (why should hackers have a say) and last but not least the staff and members here possess integrity and no cheat convictions :P
-
last time i checked the european scene ..rtcw was running 193 servers ..and 7 of them running sandmod .. hardly hundreds of servers :P
btw most of them are empty ..only the good ones survive and player counts are dwindling all the time
Well in my opinion its jsut so damn big, but then agian i have never played anyhting other than 1.0.
Also, someone told me that it sucks that 1.4 PB checks your CVAR and makes you lagg.
you know i despair sometimes when i read statements like that

what commands are you using to ban ? :)
