PBStaff_Hendrik Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hello, We would like to begin an open beta test of a new application for use in manually installing and/or updating PunkBuster software. "PBSetup" will allow users to install or update to the latest version of PunkBuster for one or more supported games. This program is designed to completely replace the outdated PBWEB command line utility as a more reliable, user-friendly graphical tool. Features: 1. Ability to install/update PunkBuster software for multiple supported games on an OS platform 2. Ability to correct corrupted installations of the PunkBuster software 3. Self-updating executable; you may from time to time be notified of new versions of PBSetup itself. A download and update will happen automatically. How to Install PBSetup: 1. Download a copy of PBSetup for your OS platform from the following links: http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloads/windows/pbsetup.exe http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloads/linux/pbsetup.run http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloads/mac/pbsetup.tgz 2. Place the file in an appropriate directory: a. For Windows - Create a directory like "C:\Program Files\PBSetup" and move pbsetup.exe to this location. b. For Linux - Create a directory in your home directory called "PBSetup" and move pbsetup.run to this location. c. For Mac - Unarchive the file to your Desktop (this should happen automatically) 3. Run PBSetup: a. For Windows - Create a desktop shortcut to pbsetup.exe from where you downloaded and then double click on the icon. b. For Linux - Change to the PBSetup directory. Type "chmod +x pbsetup.run", then "./pbsetup.run". c. For Mac - If the archive expanded correctly in your Desktop folder, you should have a "pbsetup.run" application link; double click this. For Support: Please communicate directly with our staff using our web trouble-ticket system for any issues related to PBSetup: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=...hp&game=pbsetup In addition, be aware that PBSetup attempts to locate the installation directory of any game automatically. It does this using a series of "game hints". The "game hints" can be registry entries, hardcoded directories, or system environment variables. Although PBSetup currently detects the game installation paths well, there is a chance that we've missed some locations. If you find that PBSetup does not automatically find your game installation, please fill out a trouble ticket and let us know. Please include the game, your OS, and the complete path to your PB folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxdie Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Feedback: pbsetup works fine on Linux. it even runs on FreeBSD after unpacking :) The only "problem" is this : Suggestion: Add console option eg pbsetup.run --do-update which would run update on background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Also will there be a way to run it without GUI for linux? My linux servers don't run a GUI interface and if this is to replace PBWEB I need a tool that works with command line too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxdie Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 If I click on quit , only GUI disappears but app is running . Maybe gtk_quit could solve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
