If a server has been added to your account by a staff member, our work is done. All none streaming issues are always client side. The issue your experiencing is quite simple to fix, when I checked your server via HLSW it tells me "anti cheat tool - none" Please enable PB and try again. :)

Send Rodeobob a quick forum pm and he will confirm and add you to the list of site sponsors on our main website :)

As long as the server has been added to your team account our work is done :) None streaming issues are always client side. First thing to check is that the server is fully updated and responding to standard PB commands (i.e. pb_sv_ver or pb_sv_plist or pb_sv_homepath) If a response is not forthcoming from the server to any of these commands (PB/sv log) a full reinstall of PB would be required. If a response is forthcoming and your experiencing a problem with the automated setup (webtool) try the bf2cc method outlined here; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#bf2cc

Server is streaming to PBBans Server Info Server IP 193.93.47.140:16567 [Server XML Data] Game BattleField 2 Tag nackt| Data Last Received 7 secs ago

Black pbss are not accepted as proof of cheating here or anywhere else that I know about.

Bit of a connundrum here :) Your original forum account is now banned (this is standard operating procedure for duplicate accounts) It was created on the 16-April 08 - username cyklone and with the exact IP address with which you are posting from at the moment. Is this the same IP you game with ? Thing is, I dont see anything on the MPI relating to you, and if your clan is streaming here and you have played on the streaming server at any time over the last year or so, it should really show some information such as a pbguid etc etc :blink: Anyways, I digress, you get full access to the MPI when your forum status is upgraded to streaming game admin. You obtain this upgrade by applying for a team account and streaming a server to PBBans .. or by being added to an existing streaming account by the account master. A valid pbguid would be required in both instances :)

If you join a server that does not even have PB enabled, encountering cheaters is the norm and any demo taken etc is a rather pointless exercise. Find another server and move on.

We would not know were to begin without a full server address. ;) Are md5 scans active on the server ? Are autopbss enabled ? Does anyone actively check the pbss generated by the server ?

Your team account currently looks like this; *************************************************************** Team: |No-MeRcY| Clan (cyprus) (|No-MeRcY|) Account ID: 5145 Streaming Status: Not Streaming (0 / 1) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- AA - 82.102.64.20:28913 --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- master!

That IP address points to an ISP and not a GSP. The supplied server address does not show as active on any game tracking site or HLSW.

Requirements for SGA Applications. For those applicants that wish to stream their servers to PBBans please note the following general requirements. ******************************************************* Servers: Servers MUST be hosted at a data centre. This means that you can rent a server off a Game Server Provider (GSP), co-locate your server or rent space on a dedicated server in a data centre. Any server that is situated at home or in your home office/business that you can access via your network is not acceptable. There is no reason that you should be able to play the game on the same IP as the server that you wish to stream to PBBans. We will automatically deny any application where we find the server is not hosted at a data centre. We will automatically deny any application if the server IP does not resolve to a data center. We will automatically deny any application if the server IP is the same as the applicants. We will automatically deny any application if the server is using cracked server binaries. We will automatically deny any application were the submitted website has racist or pornographic content. We will automatically deny any application if the applicant appears on the MBI (Master Ban Index) We will automatically deny any application if clan members appear on the MBI (Master Ban Index) Email addresses: Free online email accounts are not considered acceptable email accounts for streaming applicants. Email accounts such as one from your ISP, business, college or school or military unit are acceptable. Those accounts that come with your website are also considered acceptable. PBBans will send emails to your nominated account if the server stops streaming for a time. It is important to both PBBans and your team that you receive this information. Websites: PBBans require a working website from each streaming applicant. The website needs to include such things as a team roster, server information and a forum for discussion with team members. It is mandatory to have the team roster, a section of the forum and server information public (can be viewed without registering). A league website link, battlelog, steam, Xfire etc etc is not an accepted website, the website must be a unique web presence that directly relates to your clan/group. Non clan/group orientated: If you are applying to stream on behalf of a community/group that is not clan orientated, we require a news item or pinned forum topic stating server details and your intention to stream to PBBans, a tag that relates to your community/group in some way will also be required (tags are mainly used on the PBBans administration side of things so authenticity is not too important) An admin/contacts list on the website/forum with the name of the applicant on it, is a mandatory requirement. Please place a direct link to your news item or pinned topic, in the comments box of the team account application form. Free websites are fine. Game Monitor and Game Tracker have a varitey of server banners available which will inform the public of your servers. These banners are free and the code is very simple to add to your website. It should be noted that Game Monitor and Game Tracker are not accepted by PBBans as a working clan website. A team roster can include a link to a site such as battletracker but it is preferable to have a well set out list on your site which includes details of the player admins team captains etc. If you just have a simple site a locked post in public view will do. Websites MUST be populated. Creating a quick free website with 2 members and throwing together the information required does not constitute a populated website. We are looking for signs of longevity and need to see some activity from the team members. You may just be a small team starting out but please get your members signed up and active before applying to stream. The more activity we see on your site the more convinced we are that you are serious about wanting to stream and keep your servers as free of cheats as you can. GUID's: Please include a GUID that you have recently played on with your application. The GUID must be unique to you and you alone. GUIDs may be of 8 or 32 characters in length not 9 or 10. Applications with an invalid guid will be denied. Please ensure that you include the correct game associated with your guid and that you have spent at least 10 minutes on a PBBans streaming server prior to applying. This is very important to those of you on dynamic IP's as it helps us eliminate any linked accounts that may have been banned. Those with static IP's still need to include a recently active guid to eliminate any problems with processing their streaming application. Streaming: Please make sure to set up the server to stream prior to making an application. Use the Automated Hub Setup or follow the Hub guide to enable streaming and use the pb_sv_uconlist command to verify that streaming is active. The response to the pb_sv_uconlist command should appear similar to the following PunkBuster Client: [slot] [Type] [Mask] [Name] PunkBuster Client: 1 1 208.122.49.138 pbbhub1 PunkBuster Client: End of PB UCON Profile List (1 Entry) This will ensure the necessary forum upgrades / access can be processed immediately rather than have to wait for our auto update process to kick in. ******************************************************* Following these guidelines will ensure that you only need to apply once and that your server will be streaming A.S.A.P. Cheers

http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?sho...=82214&st=0 The last thing we want to see is long threads in the streaming center sections because the applicant has different idea's as to what a datacenter is, hence the closure of denied applications, and the closure of your thread disagreeing with that decision. The ruleset we have in place at the moment is pretty severe when vetting streaming applicants and it will not get any easier to obtain a streaming account at any time in the future. If you fail any of the standard checks that are in place for every streaming applicant, then the application will be denied as a matter of course. If you fail to qualify for a team account here there are other anti cheat sites that you can apply to that are less stringent with vetting than we are here. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=links.php

Streaming will kick in instantly if PB is running correctly and the proper commands are sent to the server. How did you get your other server streaming ?

Hi Furyseb, Server 85.236.101.83:16867 is not configured properly for Hub streaming at your end of things. All we can do is add the server to your account, if PB is enabled and running correctly, a none streaming issue is always at the client side :) Try the automated setup here; http://www.pbbans.com/webtool.php or the bf2cc method here; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#bf2cc Any probs please post up and we will see were we go from there.

Your team account currently looks like this; *************************************************************** Team: sign of quality ([SOQ]) Account ID: 5398 Streaming Status: Streaming (1 / 1) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- ET - 8.9.36.171:27960 (Streaming) I see no other server waiting in the queue to be added to the Hub. 217.163.31.111:27960 does not have PB enabled. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34730

Patience, when the admin that locked your account is about you will get a response. **update** After speaking with the admin involved. Your account is now set to active.

As long as the server is added to your team account, and PB is fully updated and running, any failure to stream is always at the client end of things. Try this method of initiating streaming; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#bf2cc If the server is still not streaming after trying the bf2cc method of initiation, ensure that the server responds to basic PB commands that are issued by the server admin, for example; pb_sv_ver or pb_sv_homepath or pb_sv_plist If these commands do not elicit a response off the server, a full re-install of PB would be my advice.

Errrr, it helps if you actually ask a question on irc and wait longer than 1 minute for an answer:P [04:36] * Razzen ([email protected]) has joined #pbbans [04:36] * Q sets mode: +v Razzen [04:37] * siskin ([email protected]) has joined #pbbans [04:37] * fozzer sets mode: +v siskin [04:37] * +siskin ([email protected]) Quit (Registered) [04:37] * siskin ([email protected]) has joined #pbbans [04:37] * *.quakenet.org sets mode: +v siskin [04:37] * Q sets mode: +o siskin [04:37] * +Razzen ([email protected]) Quit (Signed off) Like I said, the error is at your end. You have a forum PM.

Lets start with the very basics shall we, this is the correct IP:Port is it not ? Who is you Game Server Provider (GSP) ?

24.63.243.199:60244 COD4 Server Random llama that has put up his own cod4 server with no punkbuster running and does not like being killed by anyone. Just dont connect there any more :)

What was the full server address (ip:port)

If the server is added to your account and PB is enabled on the server, then any none streaming issue is always at the client end. First of all check that PB is fully updated and working correctly. Call of Duty 4 server v1.740 client v2.175 | A1407 Try sending the server some bog standard PB commands via rcon that will elicit a response from the server; e.g. pb_sv_ver (the server should respond with whatever version of PB you have running on your server) If you fail to get a response from the server, re-install PB. If all is working correctly enter these commands, one line at a time via rcon; pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use pb_sv_restart ... wait 20 seconds pb_sv_task 0 7200 pb_sv_ver pb_sv_usessionlimit 8 pb_sv_autoupdban 1 pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub pb_sv_writecfg Post up if you resolve this issue, it may help others in the future :)
