What does the registering name thing do exactly? Cos it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me? Razzen~ The name registry prevent a player from join the server with the registered name/tags without having properly registered the name/tag. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=registry.php You also need to register the tag with your game. 1. Find a server (can be empty if you want) 2. Hold down Shift and press the ~ key (usually under the ESC key) 3. type the following - \pb_regnamepartial [TAG] PASSWORD or \pb_regnamefull NAME PASSWORD 4. Press Enter You should get a message Punkbuster Client: 1 Registered Name Record.........etc etc....\pb\regname.dat. Then type in the console \pb_plist and you should see your name as you registered it. NOTE: Not all games need the preceding '\' or use Shift + ~ to open a full console.

Merlintime Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yer i did add the pb_regnamefull sC|Razzen|L "PASSWORD" Except i still go in without entering a password?? Razzen~ You do not need to enter a password each time. The registration command creates a regname.dat file in your PB directory which is scanned when you join a server. If the server is configured to check for the name/tag it will check if the entries in the regname.dat file are correct. If there is not a mach the server will remove you from the server.

Razzen Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Alright, so that means if it doesn't ask for a password it's not configured properly? :S I'm confused sorry, i'm only 14 :S Razzen~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlintime Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Alright, so that means if it doesn't ask for a password it's not configured properly? :S I'm confused sorry, i'm only 14 :S Razzen~ It will not ask for a password. Here is the process: 1. Register name/tag with EB. 2. Enter command to register name/tag with the game. (will need to be done with each PB enabled game the name/tag registration to be used.) 3. Configure your server to check the name/tag. (Also includes submitting the name/tag for inclusion in a compiled list). Once the command is entered in your game console, a file will be created in the PB directory named regname.dat. This file contains the name/tag registration information.

Razzen Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry that i'm noob, how do i enable server to check the name/tag? Razzen~ P.S Thanks for the help so far Merlintime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlintime Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry that i'm noob, how do i enable server to check the name/tag? Razzen~ P.S Thanks for the help so far Merlintime. Look in the previous posts and download the protected.cfg file. Put that on your server in the PB folder. In your config file (either pbsv.cfg or pbsvuser.cfg) add this line: pb_sv_load protected.cfg That should load the compiled list of protected names/tags (including yours).

Merlintime Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi merlin Yes i entered that in the console before i got the stated message above mate Once the command has been entered successfully, it creates a file named regname.dat in the game PB directory. This file can be viewed in a text editor. Ensure the information in the file is correct. You can also remove the file and re-enter the commands in the game console to create a new regname.dat file.

=XE=Death-GOA Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Merlin does this new update change the settings in my server that are already there? Meaning do my members have to re-register their names? Also I did not realize until after I hit send payment that our tags were already registered. I payed again for 1 year, can this be added to the existing account?
