GunPaladin Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Anyone have a tutorial on this? Right now I scroll messages with modern rcon but I'd like messages to scroll without having modern rcon open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:CoRe:. Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Most servers do this buy utilising the pb_sv_task function on punkbuster. You need to access the files on your server either through FTP or a server control panel like TCAdmin. Once you've got access you need to open the pb/ folder, if you're streaming to PBBans you should already have the pbsv.cfg file in this folder. If not create the file yourself using notepad, then save as .cfg . Once you've done this you can start to enter the commands into the config, it is done in this format. Both times are in seconds. pb_sv_task <time_it_is_first_run> <How_often_it_will_repeat> "say Type your message here" For example, I would use something like this on a server. pb_sv_task 0 60 "say This is a test message" You then add more lines to add more messages. For example, pb_sv_task 0 60 "say This is a test message" pb_sv_task 30 60 "say This is a second test message" Hope this helps, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McParts Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 A lot easier way to do this is with CoD Rcontool Open up Messaging Center and do automessages with time and then set them as pb task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolor Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 pb_sv_task 0 60 "say This is a test message" pb_sv_task 30 60 "say This is a second test message" Just to clarify the 60 in the above task is how often the task will repeat (in this case 60 seconds).

.:CoRe:. Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Personally I like using config files rather than using a GUI tool to configure everything. But then again I'm also the type of person who favours command prompt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm with Core on this one. Added note, with rcon tools, the messages only work while the rcon tool is being run by someone. With configs, the messages work until you physically stop the server, and they start back up again once you reboot it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
