Streaming Setup Issues and Console Tool

[MaydaX]

Most of the issues I see are related to no PB file access and that no released rcon tool supports sending raw rcon or pb commands.

 

Hopefully we will have webtool updated later today or within the coming days.

 

Webtool Updated

http://www.pbbans.com/account/webtool.php

 

Make sure it says Version 1.26. May have to close all browser windows and try again if it keeps saying 1.24 or 1.25. 1.26 checks to see if PB is enabled.

 

 

A GUI RCON app with PB support is released and I've added a guide:

http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#bc2g

 

 

NOTE: If streaming does not work, verify PB is enabled by entering this in rcon:

 

vars.punkBuster

 

It should return true, of it returns false send vars.punkBuster true

Ok, its early, so first dumb question of the day, can we not just use the PBWeb Tool to send the commands?

Hey MadaX,

 

I used the Python scripts to set it up.

 

Definately a big thank you for the commands guide adjusted for BC2!

Great work! Streaming is up, flawless and easy.

 

Hopefully GSP will enable the pbsv and/or pbsvuser cfg files to be edited easily through web frontends, then we are fine adding the md5 checks at no harm.

 

Good job!

Well I did have access to pbsv.cfg, pbsvuser.cfg and pbbans.dat for a short while. Guess my provider took access back away.

 

Most providers will upload a pbsv.cfg file to the server if you provide them with one.

First post updated with a script to make things easier

A Webtool update is being coded. BC2 is running on a brand new engine for PC and all new rcon protocols have to be coded.

What port should I be using when I setup the server in in Server Manager?

The rcon tools uses something in the 48888 range, our site will use the game port which default is 19567 I do believe

Downloaded the Command console zip file, but can't open it?

I used WinRAR 3.9 to zip it. Might be the zip client.

Maybe a corrupt d/l? I just D/L both files fine and ran the scripts. Our Server is pending approval now, so will see soon if it streams. I only used Enforce Bans, not Accept is that correct?

[Kinsman]

Mmm ran scripts, restarted server, not streaming. Guess its time for a ticket to Hypernia. BTW they just added a PB Update button, and a Remove PBLOGS and Screenshots button to the web console.

 

I guess the next step is actually being able to view them BEFORE you delete them .

I used the tool and it seemed to work but I notice in the event console that its ignoring pbbanshub and it shows that the server is not streaming. Did I do something wrong? Why is it ignoring pbbanshub?

I checked and punkbuster is true

That an odd one that I have seen happen. If you have no other ucon streaming services send these commands

 

punkBuster.pb_sv_command "pb_sv_ucondel 1"

punkBuster.pb_sv_command "pb_sv_uconadd 1 208.122.49.138 pbbhub1 pbbanshub"

[P0k3r_OF_Sm0t]

Yay!

That did it!

Thanks Maydax!

Woohoo!!!

[Kinsman]

Mmm, ours stopped streaming 2.5 hrs ago, guess I better go see what happened.

[Kinsman]

Weird, reboot server and its streaming again.

[Big_Guy21]

My provider sent this message out earlier:

 

By default, the system would disable punkbuster. This has been fixed, all you gotta do is go edit the main configuration file (setting punkbuster to true), and save it. It will save it with punkbuster enabled.

 

So, that may help some other people who stop streaming every so often. Every time my server crashed, punkbuster would end up off again.

Hey Big_Guy21,

the admin script (running at startup) could help to overcome this until AOWC fixes it.

Thanks for the scripts :)

[maddog2204]

I must be doing something wrong, as my two servers are still not showing as streaming.:(

 

I have downloaded the scripts and ran them. Even restarted the server to no avail.
