pbdns.dat is nothing to worry about. The pbbans.dat is were all your server bans are stored. The easiest way to manage your servers pbbans.dat from a PBBans.com perspective is to go to your team account - view servers - edit flags - check the enforce bans feature. This has many advantages; The PBBans Hub checks the connecting players pbguid against the Master Ban Index(MBI), because the Hub does the checking and not the server, it saves server resources . It's an especially useful feature if your pbbans.dat contains a huge list of banned pbguid's from various anti cheat groups. You never have to update or download any banlist from PBBans, the Hub will keep all players on the PBBans MBI off your server before they have time to join a team. If an admin empties the banlist by mistake, anyone on the PBBans MBI will still not be able to join your server. By checking the enforce bans flag via your team account, it leaves the server pbbans.dat completely free for you to do whatever you have to as regards other anti cheat sites methods of updating banlist's etc. Welcome to the feature packed world of PBBans Hub "live" streaming :)

It may be worth your while reading this; http://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/content/enemy_t...strictions.html

Maybe your original question should have been aimed at http://www.evenbalance.com and not a private anti cheat site http://www.pbbans.com :) We have not banned 195.43.185.133 anywhere on the PBBans systems that I can see.

I hope you clicked that little green play button and listened to that interview Tim :P

Someone beat ya to it :P Just get Nitroblast to add ya to the team account. *************************************************************** Team: International Mobilized Army (*=IMA=*) Account ID: 2877 Streaming Status: Streaming (4 / 4) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BF2 - 64.34.184.46:16567 (Streaming) COD4 - 64.34.182.24:28960 (Streaming) BF2 - 64.34.184.44:16567 (Streaming) BF2 - 64.34.210.41:16567 (Streaming) --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- Nitroblast (118239) imanutter (118218)

Did you not listen to it Baz :P Click that little green play button and sit back.

Clan = Family and when all is said and done thats what we all are here, old hands, new members no difference what so ever and all welcome. The only time you will get a frosty reception is if you are proven to cheat in PB enabled games. Dont forget guys part of our ethos is to educate the not so well informed members / admins that care to register and join in the forum activities on these boards. :) @ Accord, if what you are seeking is joining a very proactive anti cheat site with a view to learning the in's and out's of PunkBuster and how to keep PB enabled servers as cheat free as humanly possible, then your in the right place. It's knowledge that can hold you in good stead if you find a gaming clan to join up with. If you find one, point the server admin this way, that will start you off on the right foot. :D

Class :smooth:

Like Benway suggested, rtfm :P http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/co...ndex.htm#pbrcon

Bit of advice BOTA:X :) Stick with the 2 main players in the anti cheat scene that offer PB support for all PB enabled games, and you wont go far wrong. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=links.php

Not possible. These checks are reserved for admins that contribute something to their respective gaming communities by actively streaming to an anti cheat site.

I checked this into the Hub a short time ago, streaming ok now.

A quick check of the 3 servers you have in your team account reveal the following; 217.163.23.16:27960 - PB is disabled. 217.163.30.108:27960 - PB is disabled. 212.187.246.89:27960 - is the one server of the 3 that has PB enabled. Solution; Enable PB on the 2 servers that are not streaming.

At the moment we have 121 x bf2142 servers actively streaming, what they are telling you is a load of rubbish, feel free to quote me.

Forum status reset to member.

Thanks heaps Raist, appreciated m8 :)

PM an sga called Raistlin, he's a mac user and very proficient :)

Seeing as we had not heard a peep out of anyone since December last year, it remains to be seen if you bumping an old thread will create some interest :P

The only thing that will incur an addition to the MBI is a cheat related cvar/MD5 scan or banable PB violation. Everything else is at the server admins discretion and will result in a short kick for none compliance.

Inkblot1, Your duplicate account has been deleted. Only 1 forum account is allowed, and we delete duplicates as and when we find them.

Your server is streaming so np there. If you follow this simple guide your server will be running the very latest cvar/md5 scans for your particular game genre; http://www.pbbans.com/information.php?page=cvarmd5guide

Some of the "blame" if thats what we are discussing :P must lie with the game devs. CD key in plain text in the registry. Little back door trojan concealed in an instant level55 program or tweak program. Result = lots of stolen CD keys.

Looking at CQC rules and regulations I see that all servers require mandatory streaming to psb, does this mean that PBBans streamers will not be allowed to play in CQC ladders. Maybe the rule should read; Streaming to a reputable anti cheat site is mandatory. Dual streaming has been available for quite some time and does not cause any lag etc CQC rules and regulations.

Best way of initiating streaming is using the rcon method; http://www.pbbans.com/information.php?page=hubguide PBSS guide; http://www.pbbans.com/information.php?page=pbssguide
