PBUCON...dazed and confused


Floyd

Recommended Posts

I am not having much success understanding how PBUCON works and/or how to implement and start it. I know this has been discussed and I've searched the forums and evenbalance but I'm still at a loss.

 

I rent a dedicated server box running 64bit WinServer 2003 O/S.

Among other games, I have an America's Army 3 (AA3) server installed. Punkbuster is running, taking screenshots, and using a PBBans pbsv.cfg.

Server IP and gameport is: 75.126.77.38:8777

My server is not streaming.

 

Do I need to run pbucon.exe found on the EvenBalance site?

If so, where should I place the .exe?

How do I start PBUCON for the first time?

What should I use for the "myaddress" IP and port? login and password?

 

 

I know I'm making this much more difficult than it really is....sorry. I'm just thoroughly confused.

 

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Have you tried using the Automated Hub Setup? It has worked great for me when nothing would. Use the PB web interface (universal).

 

He wants to use PBUCON himself, not the PBBans connection.

 

Why don't you try to start off with reading EvenBalance's tutorial on PBUCON located here?

I have. Thus my questions:

 

Do I need to run pbucon.exe found on the EvenBalance site?

If so, where should I place the .exe?

How do I start PBUCON for the first time?

What should I use for the "myaddress" IP and port? login and password?

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

**edit**

Server is now streaming. Apparently, the pbsv.cfg I downloaded did not have the correct IP for streaming. After a hard restart of the server box itself, streaming began. I knew I was making too difficult :huh:

 

Thanks for the replies...

Yes

Doesn't matter. I'd suggest to create a new directory somewhere and put it in there, since it does create some new files in the directory it's in (like PB's end user license agreement).

 

How do I start PBUCON for the first time?

Execute pbucon.exe downloaded from EB :P

 

What should I use for the "myaddress" IP and port? login and password?

myaddress ip is your external ip, the port is a port on your router which is forwarded to your pc (unless you're directly connected to the internet)

 

login and password to match the same as on the server, where hostmask equals the myaddress:

pb_sv_uconadd [profile_type] [hostmask] [username] [password]

 

Thanks.

 

:D
