Web admin tool.

[Cappy1892]

Hi fellas, anyone help me with a couple of questions in realtion to this?

1) where are the Screenshots stored ?

2) is it possible to implement a high ping kicker?

 

also, is there another admin tool {other than B3, we will probably get that soon} that interacts with this game? Procon or similar,

 

Cheers

Screenshot of your server is stored in folder /pb/svss. It's possible your server rental not allow to look this folder pb.

For ping limit look with plugin...

cheers Litoon, we host our own server, i should ahve known where they where stored :)

Another question.

 

I am getting "Screenshot not returned by client" on approx 75-80% of requests, anyone got any idea of why this is?

 

Ive just cleared the folder of all screenshots and within a few minutes i had 15 screenshots not returned and no actual SS to view.

pb_sv_AutoSsFrom 200 //[Min # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]
pb_sv_AutoSsTo 600 //[Max # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]

what you posted

 

 

pb_sv_AutoSsFrom 60 //[Min # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]
pb_sv_AutoSsTo 600 //[Max # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]

 

 

although 60 is the default setting from EB, it causes issues in real world use

 

i would change that and see what happens. or just upload the PBSV from the link i provided above

[Cappy1892]

Cheers, will give it a whirl

[Cappy1892]

One more question.{not promising it will be my last one tho :P}

 

For some reason it seems to cap at 100 screen shots{whether taken or not} even tho ive set the Ceiling to 1000

 

Any ideas why or how i could change it? save me checking screen shots every few hours/daily?

[HSMagnet]

double check the cfg

(pb_sv_SsFloor 1 //[Low screenshot filename serial #]
pb_sv_SsCeiling 1000 //[High screenshot filename serial #])

and that there is not some other file being loaded by the server provider or another streaming service that is changing it

[Cappy1892]

Yeah double checked the settings in pb sc cfg

; ------------------------------
; PBSS Settings
; ------------------------------
pb_sv_AutoSs 0 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)]

pb_sv_AutoSsFrom 200 //[Min # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss]

pb_sv_ssLogging 3 //[1=Reg. Log, 2=SS Log, 3=Both, 0=Neither]
pb_sv_ssTimeout 300 //[seconds]

 

Then checked the latest log

05.10.2014 21:24:51] pb_sv_NoGuidGrace = 10 (0 to 300)
[05.10.2014 21:24:51] pb_sv_AutoSs = 0 (0=No, 1=Yes)
[05.10.2014 21:24:51] pb_sv_SsFloor = 1 (1 to 999999)
[05.10.2014 21:24:51] pb_sv_SsCeiling = 1000 (1 to 999999)
[05.10.2014 21:24:51] pb_sv_AutoSsFrom = 200 (30 to 300)
[05.10.2014 21:24:51] pb_sv_AutoSsTo = 600 (300 to 1500)

 

We dont stream to anywhere else so that cant be the issue,  we host our own server,{ NFO VDS} ,any ideas of what type of file i should be looking for that may be overiding these settings?
 

 I appreciate your help HS

 

Edit: noticed the AutoSS was changed to 0 so have reset that, ill keep an eye on it over the next few days and see if that was the problem.

[HSMagnet]

hope that was it

 

been a while since i was over the day to day workings of a server...

 

i know there have been issues with startup line specifying exec cmd of alternate cfg

[Cappy1892]

That seems to have fixed the problem,All working fine now.

One more question, but it relates to all games i suppose not just RO2. When viewing the SS is there a quicker way than clicking individually on each SS to open up in Paint. like a slideshow type of effect?

Download all PBSS to a folder on your desktop and click on the first image with a .png on the end and use Windows Photo Viewer and it will create a slideshow. Just use the left or right arrows to the left of your numpad.

[Cappy1892]

Cheers Taz, i was doing that when we had it hosted and i would open the files via ftp, but Photo viewer wasnt installed on the remote server, doing it now.

 Once again, Cheers
