i posted this in punkbuster.com forums..I need help

Hi

Is there any COD admins who could spend some time with me to get PB set up?
I have got it to do cvar checks on entry to server and check for bots, Also bad names is working.The only way i could do this was to add them to the server CFG as any command i give PB does not stay unless i do it this way.

If I type in console "/rcon pb_sv_badname 180 bugger" it only stays in the list untill i restart the sever, then its gone, but it shows up in the log file.

If I type "/rcon pb_sv_power 1 75" it only stays in the list untill I restart my server,log file says " 0 Power Players loaded from D:\PROGRA~1\CALLOF~1\pb\pbpower.dat"

If I type in console "/rcon pb_sv_CvarUserPulse 15" it stays, if I then type "/rcon pb_sv_CvarUserPulse" console says "/rcon pb_sv_CvarUserPulse 15" but the log says "pb_sv_CvarUserPulse = 99"


As for the MBL well I give up on that one. It worked fine for 3/4 weeks then it just stopped streaming for 4 weeks, then it streamed for 1 week and as not worked since (3 weeks ago) code 10?. I have seen 9/10 poeple getting kicked for having bots but if i dont stream there is no point as they will not be added to MBL.

I am not a whiz kid with pc's but I manage to run a competative clan with 2 servers and a comms server but I cant sort this out and believe me i've tried, I've been at it for 2 months now and Im getting no where fast.

My servers are with multiplay so I dont have ftp just a interface called clanforge so i cant upload, oh and multiplay tell me the "/rcon pb_sv_restart" does not work on their servers.

There is my PB settings which i have added to the server.cfg (right or wrong it the only way thats works for me)

Multiplay tell me that all i need in the server.cfg is

pb_sv_enable
wait
set sv_punkbuster "1"

But i dont see how this can be right as the servers would not check for cvars or bots or stream the MBL.When i config MBL i get the pbsvlogs.cfg but cant restart pb as i mentioned before.

OR have i got it all wrong, maybe i should just do what multiplay say? it would be so easy.

Up to now the only answer i've got from pb admins is "please dont post md5tool checks" :(

Hi. Unfortunatelly we dont support the mbl. So you wont be able to add users to it automatically. I have a pb cfg that I use in the public servers if you would like to have a look. Email me at barney@multiplay.co.uk or come in irc to discuss.

ok email sent mate

I never got the Email mate :(

Bit late to reply to this but here goes:-

All PB command lines entered by rcon WILL be lost when you restart the server by clanforge unless you enter the pb_sv_writecfg command by rcon after you entered the others.

But even easier than that, create a pbsvuser.cfg and add ALL the pb commands to that, then upload it to your server. Then that cfg will be loaded every time you restart with CF.

Examples on how to do this posted on this link.

Rumour has it that renters of MPUK servers will soon be able to load on the MBL via a new update of clanforge, any truth in this?

Apparently so. It will also mean you can access your own server logs, without asking. On a side note, mbl mod has been added to the mo list in cf. Not sure how it works tho tbh :/

Thanks Barney, this new decision to include the MBL option and the availability of logfiles to create stats means our clan will more than likely stay with Multiplay UK servers.

Good move at the right time :)

Is there any easy way to get the punkbuster screenshots from the server?

there are times we would like to see them.

any help would be gratefully received.

thanks,

Nope, like has already been said. untill cf2 is released u will just have to ask for them when u want them

ok having sorted out the above problem heres a new one :)

I am trying to give some members of my clan some control over our servers.
first let me say our server are multiplay,so there is no ftp.
I have made a file in clanforge called "pbpower.dat",if I then go to console in the game and type "/pb_sv_powerlist" it says no names are in the powerlist on screen.If I type "/rcon pb_sv_powerlist" i get a list of the power point players in console only but with zero power points for each name :(
If I add players to the power list in console the power points show, but if they try to use them it says server not enabled even if i've typed "/rcon pb_sv-enable" before hand.

Any help would be appreciated

Try adding pb_sv_load pbpower.dat either to your pbsvuser.cfg (if you have one) or enter it with Rcon then enter pb_sv_writecfg That will write the load command to your PB cfg. So it will then load the power dat everytime you restart the server.
