Buzzed Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Dobbs I am having the same problem with 2 of my clans Multiplay servers while our U.S. server keeps on ticking. I am working on it and will hopefully have an answer for you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzed Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Dobbs can you copy and paste the last six lines of one of you servers pbsvuser.cfg file in here for me. I edited both of our Multiplay pbsvuser.cfg files and as soon as I rebooted the servers they started streaming on their own. I will check them again in the morning ans see if they are still going.

dobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Basically what mine is is a copy of the cvar & md5 checks that get generated at pbbans, i just upload that... I dont know if that is correct but streaming only runs wheni put the commands in i quoted in #1 post. Then after a while it stops. So really last 6 lines are just md5 chks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzed Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Here is what I found lastnight but may not be the same on your server setup. I found that on our Multiplay servers the pbsv.cfg and pbsvuser.cfg were one file. On our U.S. server these are 2 completely seperate files. I will post 2 possible solutions. My suggestion to you is to see if you can edit the pbsv.cfg as your pbsvuser.cfg seems to be setup the same as our U.S server. This is what the last few lines in the pbsvuser.cfg were before I edited them : pb_sv_AliasMaxEnforce 0 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)] pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg //load remote logging settings (if pbsvlog.cfg exists) pb_sv_load pbsvmessages.cfg ;Badname List - pb_sv_badname [grace_period_secs] [disallowed text] ;PB UCON Settings / Lists pb_sv_usessionlimit 3 pb_sv_ucontimeout 300 pb_sv_uconempty pb_sv_uconignoreempty ;task for 24/7 streaming (important for match server) , it does not cause any lag and the stream will never stop pb_sv_task 1 86400 pb_sv_ver This is the last few lines from our U.S server pbsv.cfg file : pb_sv_AliasMaxEnforce 0 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)] pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg //load remote logging settings (if pbsvlog.cfg exists) pb_sv_load pbsvmessages.cfg ;Badname List - pb_sv_badname [grace_period_secs] [disallowed text] ;PB UCON Settings / Lists pb_sv_usessionlimit 3 pb_sv_ucontimeout 300 pb_sv_uconempty pb_sv_uconadd 1 "63.171.64.205" "pbbhub" "pbbhub" pb_sv_uconignoreempty Here are the last few lines from the Multiplay servers pbsvuser.cfg file after editing : pb_sv_AliasMaxEnforce 0 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)] pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg //load remote logging settings (if pbsvlog.cfg exists) pb_sv_load pbsvmessages.cfg ;Badname List - pb_sv_badname [grace_period_secs] [disallowed text] ;PB UCON Settings / Lists pb_sv_usessionlimit 3 pb_sv_ucontimeout 300 pb_sv_uconempty pb_sv_uconadd 1 "63.171.64.205" "pbbhub" "pbbhub" pb_sv_uconignoreempty I did not set these servers up so I have no idea if it is normal on the Multiplay servers to have both the pbsv.cfg and pbsvuser.cfg as one file or not. Once I did edit the file and rebooted our servers they started streaming on their own and have now been streaming for over 8 straight hours which is a record for these two servers. I hope this helps you and you can get them streaming on their own. If you have any questions what so ever just post them and I will answer as soon as I can. Best of luck to you.

dobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Yea i noticed that on saving a profile it was saying that pbsv was not safe and use pbsvuser instead....... ille look into it Edited December 12, 2007 by dobbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzed Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 FYI our 2 Multiplay servers have now been streaming for over 16 hours without dropping off once since I edited the pbsvuser.cfg file. I hope this works for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzed Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 dobbs did my fix suggestion work for you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbs Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 No nothing has changed, i removed the pbsv files and am now using pbsvuser files, i ran the suggested fix by pbbans as in post #1 again and they ran for 24 hours, i looked this morning and none are streaming again. Getting a bit annoying now as yesterday we had some dodgy ss on 1 server when i looked it wasnt streaming so it wouldnt count anyway.. I think ille have to goto IRC# and see if i can get an admin to help out, or the other option i got is to go back to PsB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzed Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Don't go back to Psb. :( Worst case is, I can send you a copy our pbsv.cfg and pbsvuser.cfg file and you can look at them if you would like. Multiplay servers have a very different setup for PB. Contact me through here or xfire if you want. I know how frustrating it can be to get your servers streaming right. It took me a long while to figure it out on my own. Another possible solution is to copy and paste your pbsvuser.cfg and pbsv.cfg in here or PM it to me and I can look at it. Make sure you edit out any passwords before posting or sending it. Lets get this fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbs Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 well something must be correct for 1 server cus i havnt changed nothing today and it was streaming last time i looked today, so that must of kicked in itself.

dobbs Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 well i jumped on IRC only to be told by pbbans and mpuk it was each others fault, and all the admin did at pbbans was tell me its not thier fault so bollox to it.

foxdie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sorry but we have no clue why pbucon settings are being deleted from pbsv.cfg. Only multiplay can sort it out. PS: PsB is back online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzer Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 It looks to me like something is forcing your server back to a default setting, probably a cronjob or something similar that forces a daily server restart in the wee hours when no ones about. I used to do the same with all Jolt public servers I headed up. The restart will probably automatically exec a cfg that does not include your PBBans ucon settings. Thats my take on things :) The PBBans staff member on irc was not being offhand about your situation, its just that we know for sure that the problem is not on the PBBans side of things. Looks like a classic case of the customer not being always right and getting the runaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbs Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Looks like a classic case of the customer not being always right and getting the runaround. sure does. Well I am trying 1 more time i have redone my scripts using the 1 that is streaming, lets see if that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzed Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 As I said before dobbs I am willing to send you both our pbsv.cfg and pbsvuser.cfg files if you need them so you can see how I have them setup know. They have both been streaming for over 4 days straight with no problems at all. Multiplay has a weird way of setting up their servers and it took me weeks to figure out a fix. Let me know what you need and I will help you as much as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbs Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 well might have some good news as i had 1 server streaming i looked at code and used it for 1 other server ...so far i got 2 streaming with no drops nearly been 36hrs for the 1st and 24 for the 2nd... i will update tommorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzer Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Nice1 dobbs, good show of persistence :) If your anything like me, I hate a damned server cfg getting the better of me and will move heaven and earth to make it do what I want !!

Igloo Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It looks to me like something is forcing your server back to a default setting, probably a cronjob or something similar that forces a daily server restart in the wee hours when no ones about. I used to do the same with all Jolt public servers I headed up. The restart will probably automatically exec a cfg that does not include your PBBans ucon settings. Thats my take on things :) Hi, I'm Matt from Multiplay UK's Support team (I Head up the team). First things first, We do not run cronjobs on our machines. So that completely nullifies Fozzers idea. Secondly, If you tell the pb server to write it's config file to disk, It will do this with the name pbsv.cfg. Now what we do to prevent issues is to stop people using the pbsv.cfg and having their settings overwritten by the pb server. What you need to do is to merge the pbsv.cfg and the pbsvuser.cfg together. This will mean that the write cfg command will write to the pbsv.cfg and leave your pbsvuser.cfg intact. There is absolutely no need to use the live control feature to setup streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
