slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hello, I' ve got a probably easy question. I followed the instructions to setup streaming, so far it looks good, the server streamcheck shows "streaming", but now my question trying to understand the background. WHY has my pbsv.cfg (or any other configfile) not been modified? I thought, set up streaming will add the entry "pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub" to my existing configfile!? Please shed some light on me....and I hope I have explained clearly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=BLACKWOLF= Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If that line is not present, simply send the command: [/rcon] pb_sv_writecfg That will write the settings to your configuration file :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I did it 3 times...but nothing..can't find this entry! same after server restart...but it's still streaming?!! :blink: should I add something manually to my pbsv.cfg?

slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Server information (IP:Port)? 62.104.179.111:16567 now added //PBBans pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub to my pbsv.cfg.

Merlintime Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The server currently shows as streaming. http://www.pbbans.com/msi-server-62-104-179-111-16567.html On server restart it continues streaming? What method are you using to view the pbsv.cfg file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What method are you using to view the pbsv.cfg file? I used the webinterface to edit the config files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlintime Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I used the webinterface to edit the config files. What is the path of the pbsv.file you are viewing? Verify you are viewing the PB config file(s) located in the pb folder. Example path (/userid/BF2/pb). The path your provider has for you may be different but should have a similar folder structure. Basically, if the server continues to streaming after a restart the PBBans Ucon profile is read in from somewhere. Either from the pbsv.cfg or some other file. Check if your pbsv.cfg reads in additional files (pb_sv_load filename). Also check your pbsvuser.cfg or pbsvlog.cfg if they exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I see no paths, all I have is the webinterface to manage the content of the configfiles. here is what I added manually: pbsv.cfg: //PBBans pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub pbucon.use: //empty pbsvuser.cfg doesn't exist, content should be managed via pbsv.cfg.

Merlintime Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Since the server continues to stream after a restart is seems the PBBans Ucon profile would certainly be somewhere in the pbsv.cfg file. I'm not certain if it has anything to do with the game the server is running (BF2). I'm not familiar with BF2 server administration however, it seems the PB administration would be similar to other games. Game Server Provider?

slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Game Server Provider? 4netplayers.de the support says the only correct method to edit conf-files is manual via webinterface. rcon commands via bf2cc or PBWTool would not function correctly!?!?...hm...the howtos in all forums are so different :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 im not sure how you setup the streaming but if you open pbucon.use with notepad or some similar .txt opener you should see the ucon setup (if you issued all 8). and like you stated: here is what I added manually: pbsv.cfg: //PBBans pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub as long as that is in your pbsv.cfg file you should have no worries ;) just make sure you have your md5 checks up to date: http://www.pbbans.com/mci.php -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 hi dan im not sure how you setup the streaming but if you open pbucon.use with notepad or some similar .txt opener you should see the ucon setup (if you issued all 8). and like you stated: pbucon.use files is empty! as long as that is in your pbsv.cfg file you should have no worries ;) means.....thats enough?!

slayer.1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 ok....finally found this "howto": I added to my pbsv.cfg: //PBBans pb_sv_USessionLimit 9 pb_sv_uconadd 1 87.106.128.186 ggc_87.106.128.186 bf2 pb_sv_uconadd 1 85.214.107.154 ggc_85.214.107.154 bf2 pb_sv_uconadd 1 85.214.107.155 ggc_85.214.107.155 bf2 pb_sv_uconadd 1 85.214.107.156 ggc_85.214.107.156 bf2 pb_sv_uconadd 1 "64.27.21.46" "pbbanshub" "pbbanshub" pb_sv_uconignoreempty is this correct and enough?

Merlintime Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 is this correct and enough? Adding that should work fine. I was attempting to troubleshoot on the premise you were adding the commands but the pbsv.cfg was not reflecting the change. Hopefully all is now well.
