COD4 Help with Cvar checks.

[aman]

I have a COD4 ranked server.i am running pb cvar checks that are in my pbsvuser.cfg and was working fine until recently.cvar violations are raised but it is warning and not kicking.

 

Example of one: pb_sv_cvar com_maxfps IN 44 250

 

 

Only get a warning and no kick.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

check the setting for this

 

PB_SV_KickLen [Minutes]

The number of minutes (default is 2) a player will be kept from being able to rejoin after getting kicked by PunkBuster

 

or just change it to the appropriate amount

[aman]

Thank you for the quick response.

 

i checked the current setting in the config and is currently pb_sv_KickLen 0

 

I will change the setting to pb_sv_KickLen 2 //[Minutes (default=2)] and restart the server and see if that will fix it.

 

i will post back results.

 

Thank you.

Try adding this command:

 

pb_sv_enablekicks 1

 

btw - the kick doesn't happen immediately following the warning. It gives the player about 5 minutes to change their settings before kicking them.

 

Hope that helps.....

I typed your command in the console: pb_sv_enablekicks 1

 

i got pb response in Yellow - Punkbuster Server : pb_sv_enablekicks : kicking for violations was already enabled.

 

Maybe on your server it takes 5 minutes.The setup on my server gives 3 warnings -within 1 minute it will kick for the Violation.

 

So basically it is still only warning and not kicking.

 

 

Thanks for your help.

check to see that the pb_sv_kicklen is not changed back to 0

you may have a command in a cfg somewhere doing it

What exactly is the reason for setting a max fps?

jumps

 

higher fps allows you to jump higher/farther

[aman]

Cheaters sometimes abuse cvars to exploit holes or bugs in the game in order to cheat.

[HSMagnet]

i believe a steady 125fps lets you jump slightly more than someone with lesser/unsteady fps

 

333fps lets you jump like a kangaroo

I am still having the same issue,Only get a warning and no kick.

 

Are these lines what controls these settings if a violation is raised?

 

 

pb_sv_CvarFreq 3 //[# of range checks per minute]

pb_sv_CvarLogging 1 //[1=Reg. Log, 2=Var Log, 3=Both, 0=Neither]

pb_sv_CvarWalk 2 //[0=disabled, 1-4=Walk through obtained Cvar lists]

pb_sv_CvarUserPulse 99 //[Frequency to auto-send CvarUser (minutes)]

pb_sv_CvarChangedPulse 60 //[Frequency to auto-send CvarChanged (minutes)]

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

none of them?

 

has to be one that enables the kick after it finds one

 

can't remember what it is

 

also, you really waited 4 months to check?

This line is in the pbsvuser.cfg

 

pb_sv_KickLen 2 //[Minutes (default=2)]

 

Yes seems like after 4 months,I am still having the same issue and

still no solution.

Look in your pbsvuser.cfg. This is where I found it.

[CosmicBlue]

These are the values that I have set in my pbsv.cfg:

 

pb_sv_cvarlogging 1 //[1=Reg. Log, 2=Var Log, 3=Both, 0=Neither]Default = 1 NOT 2!

pb_sv_cvarwalk 2 //[0=disabled, 1-4=Walk through obtained Cvar lists]Default = 0 lower value = less checking

pb_sv_cvarchangedpulse 50 // 10-90 higher value = less checking, 99=disabled Default = 99

pb_sv_cvaruserpulse 50 //[Frequency to auto-send CvarUser (minutes)]Default = 99 higher value = less checking, 99=disabled

pb_sv_cvarfreq 3 // 2-10 higher value = more checking, may cause lag Default = 6

pb_sv_Restrictions 2 //[0=No, 1=Yes 2=Restrict Macros(default=1)]

 

Also, check this line in your pbsvuser.cfg:

 

pb_sv_UpdateGrace 300 //[seconds to wait before Update Failure kick]

 

This is supposed to affect the time allowed for a player to update their PB before being kicked, but maybe it also affects the time for CVAR violations???

 

Hope this helps.....
