Punkbuster

[Butch]

Just updated server to ver1.2 and need help with Punkbuster.

What line do I place in my config.file to get Punkbuster running.

I show no Punkbuster in Server Search.

After adding the line to config how do I test PB to be sure the file is running.
I seem to remember tying something in the console and would get a responce what ver was running and this was how I checked it.

Thanks, Butch

Add the following lines to the beginning of your server CFG:

//Start Punkbuster
pb_sv_enable // If you want PB disabled, use pb_sv_disable instead
wait // This is required for proper PB startup

(From "PunkBuster for Server Administrators": http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/cod-ad/index.htm#quickstart)


Note for server administrators, please note the following ways you can launch PunkBuster:

1. Launch COD2 MP executable, enable PunkBuster in the Settings.
a. Click Start New Server
b. Click Punkbuster to Yes (default is No)
c. Click Start
d. Once the server has started, to execute a config file from the console type "exec [name].cfg"

2. Launch through the command line:
a. In Windows, Start > Run >
b. Type "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\CoD2MP.exe +set sv_punkbuster 1
c. Once Call of Duty 2 has started, to execute a config file from the console type "exec [name].cfg"v
3. Add "set sv_punkbuster 1" to the "config_mp.cfg" file to initialize PunkBuster. This file can be found by going to the "Call of Duty 2\main\players" folder and looking inside the folder named after your profile. If the "sv_punkbuster" command already exists in your config file, you can simply change the value to "1".

(From "CoD2 1.2 readme": http://www.callofduty2.com/patch/cod1_2patchreadme.html)


To check version:
The easiest way to quickly test that your PunkBuster Server is properly installed, Enabled, and working is to type "PB_SV_VER" into the game console. If PunkBuster is working properly, it will respond by displaying the version number that is currently installed and running. If there is no response, then PunkBuster is either not installed properly or has become corrupted and should be reinstalled.

(Also from "PunkBuster for Server Administrators": http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/cod-ad/index.htm#quickstart)

I tried adding:

pb_sv_enable
wait

To my config and got no PB listed or working.

I tried adding:

set sv_punkbuster "1"
pb_sv_enable
wait

To my config and no good.

The server is rented and patched to 1.2. I think I just need to add a line to get PB working to my config but so far I have had no luck.

Thanks for the info but I stiil cant get PB to run on server. Butch

Ask your provider to take a look, maybe the didn't install the patch properly.

[d1emain3qc]

Many service providers have installed the patch. How ever if you don’t have access to change server start up line please advised them VIA ticket system to add this in this command line.

+set sv_punkbuster 1

EXAMP: "C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec dedicated.cfg +map_rotate


All the people I have help tonight this was the issue.



Also here is some pointers.


Also you need to add 3 files in your PB folder and create 2 new folders.

In a note pad copy each individual config files.

Punkbuster patch and updates

http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=support-cod2.php

Guy's feel free to add to this tones more stuff you ca do with PB

[d1emain3qc]

A lot of you guy’s use RCON4COD, RCON Commander.

Did you know that Punk Buster offers the same thing on a web application that can be use on any pc with out installing these tools on your PC.

Here is the how to.

In your PB folder find your pbsv.cfg. Open CFG file using Not Pad.

Find these lines about half way.


pb_sv_httpPort 0 //[port #]
pb_sv_httpAddr "" //[external IP Address]
pb_sv_httpRefresh 30 //[seconds]
pb_sv_httpKey "" //[key]


1:In pb_sv_httpPort 0 {replace the zero with your server port 28960}

2: pb_sv_httpAddr "77.778.77.777" {Add your server IP}

3: pb_sv_httpRefresh 30 //[seconds] {leave this the way it is}

4: pb_sv_httpKey "" //[key] {This would be the location to put your password}


This is what it should look like.


pb_sv_httpPort 28960 //[port #]
pb_sv_httpAddr "77.778.77.777" //[external IP Address]
pb_sv_httpRefresh 30 //[seconds]
pb_sv_httpKey "password" //[key]

Once this is done if your server provider does not block port 2000 you should be able to access your PB RCON.

In My case the link should be.

http:// 77.778.77.777:2000/pbsvweb

Try this out and post your comments.

I just update pungbuster to latest update 1.08 i think, from eveanbalance and i join on my server with n7cod2_1.0C cheat (wallhack, aimbot, croshair,..) and pungbuster didnt find i think. I played 3 maps and nothink. Cheat still work.
What the ****? This cheat is public for ages.

Anyone know how to crack this patched serevr, cos ppl with noriginal game can not join, cd key in use, please try latter.

I think this pb is more hunting pirates then cheaters :p

[chucknet]

well i had the same problem with my cd-key and yes it is legit i ended up doing the simplest thing and just reentered it and hit verify and it worked fine.

and then i was able to join the server i could not before.

[RaptureReady]

Hey all, I had this problem of PB not enabling and here is what I did.

I put the +set sv_punkbuster 1 in my command line and in my server.cfg file I have seta sv_punkbuster "1"

If this does not work for ya, go into your servers players/server/ folder and delete the config_mp.cfg file. When you start your server back up it will regenerate this file and it should set the punkbuster to 1.

Punkbuster patch and updates

Guy's feel free to add to this tones more stuff you ca do with PB


The "pbsvlog.cfg" is only needed if your server is streaming to "Punksbusted"

[9thSF-Medic]

Does anyone else experience lag when the (optional) Punksbusted checks are performed?

My servers get a brief (1-2 seconds) "connection interrupted" everytime a player connects and are scanned.. :(

[Ghost-Ryder]

Try this

pb_sv_CvarWalk 0 //[0=disabled, 1-4=Walk through obtained Cvar lists]

That should take care of it.
Should be located in the pb folder in pbsv.cfg file if it is setup corectly.

[9thSF-Medic]

Ahh.. Off course.

But then the extended check will be useless (not performed), wouldn't it?

Contacted my GSP and in 2 minutes I had PB running on my server. They did have to change and save the enable PB line in the players folder.

Thanks for the help,
Butch

Here's another PB feature from my old CoDUO pbsv.cfg...bad names list. Eliminates quite a few obscene and hate-oriented screen names. I have been accumulating them since the good ol' BlackBart days of MOHAAs, and have created them in PB format. Just applied them to my CoD2 PB setup. All you need to do is to add the contents of this file to your pbsv.cfg. Get it here: http://www.olddogvt.net/downloads/badnames.txt.

Note that in this file "Unknown Soldier" is considered a bad name, and will be kicked. I, personally, have removed that line in my current pbsc.cfg, and am letting bullet-worm's Powerserver take care of the idiots who can't make up a screen name. This is your choice, you can either kick immediately, via the "bad names", or use something like Powerserver to handle them differently. When I was running CoDUO, I had a rash of these dorks, and got pissed off...:D

My clanid had to be reactivated (waiting for approval from Punksbusted) due to a lapse between bringing down my CoDUO server and the patch for CoD2. When I get approval, I'll add in AutoMBL.

[OldDog]

In My case the link should be.

http:// 77.778.77.777:2000/pbsvweb

Try this out and post your comments.

Nope, should look like this: http://77.778.77.777:28960/pbsvweb .. where did the port 2000 come from??

Mine, for example is: http://67.19.54.189:28960/pbsvweb, and it works like a charm.

[d1emain3qc]

I am using port 2000 with no troubles at all. In the Punkbuster admin user guide port 2000 is the port sugested.

[OldDog]

Weird...on my old CoDUO server, I was using the standard 28960, and, I tried it on my CoD2 server, and it worked.

Do your pbsv.cfg commands look like this?
pb_sv_httpPort 28960 //[port #]
pb_sv_httpAddr "67.19.54.189" //[external IP Address]
pb_sv_httpRefresh 30 //[seconds]
pb_sv_httpKey "*****" //[key]
Because, the port that's specified in "pb_sv_httpPort" is the active one.

[arsemaster]

Ok,
i did all that and now when i go to stats.callofduty.com my server is in red and it says that i need to not set the protocol in your config files.

http://stats.callofduty.com/index.php?search_ip=204.11.33.45

any ideas??

[OldDog]

Mine does the same, but I can see it in ASE, and can connect to it...so, I have no clue. I hunted through all the config files I have with no luck finding anything about protocol, anywhere.

Yes it does only I put port 2000 here instead.

pb_sv_httpPort 2000 //[port #]

Not to sure if they are talking about this. If so you need to enter these lines in your server config to be able to send server listing.

// MasterServers
set sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master3 "master1.gamespy.com"
set sv_master4 "clanservers.net"
set sv_master5 "codmaster.activision.com"
set sv_gamespy "1"

[Butch]

I am trying to find out if Activision fixed the "VOTING" with the patch so you can only enable what you want to be voted on.

I added the same lines to my config for voting I use in UO but they still don't work.

You either have voting on or off.

Is there a setting my GSP needs to correct as they did for PB to run or has Activision slipped on this????

I want my voting the way I want!!

Thanks, Butch

I added '+set sv_punkbuster 1' to my commandline, and punkbuster runs just fine

screen -m -d -S cod2 ./cod2_lnxded +set net_ip 193.238.184.116 +set net_port 28800 +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg

193.238.184.116:28800 >>99<< OLD MEN COD2 Ver 1.2

You can do a check with HLSW, or in rcon you can do a 'pb_sv_ver'

I couldn't start PB in server.cfg

Actually I tried to play around with that and the redirect Download. It seems like they both don’t. Can any one confirm that?

Do you have an example of a 'pure' file ?

Ive got some expirence from ET (quake3) engine. And ill do a test right away.

Not to sure if they are talking about this. If so you need to enter these lines in your server config to be able to send server listing.

// MasterServers
set sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master3 "master1.gamespy.com"
set sv_master4 "clanservers.net"
set sv_master5 "codmaster.activision.com"
set sv_gamespy "1"

Well, you really need only one, and even that's debatable. I've heard that the master server is hard-coded into the game. But, here's what I use:
set sv_master1 "cod2master.activision.com"

Note that there's a school of thought that says that the more server you add, the more overhead is incurred looking for them. MajorWoody and I have subscribed to that school since CoD first came out. I used to have 5 or 6 master servers, and started eliminating them with no problems.

Of course, this doesn't answer the red server listing in stats.callofduty.com. I hunted around looking for an answer to this, and can't find one. My server shows up red, as does all of MajorWoody's TSH servers...but, we're both visible to ASE and GameSpy, and, I can actually connect to both and play. So, I'm not terribly worried about the red status and that "protocol" stuff. Just for grins, though, I would like to know what the hell it means...:D.

Maybe our new community dev guy can help? fourtwozero?

[Butch]

Any answers on the being able to set voting up the way you want??

[Butch]

I have no Master Servers listed and our server is always listed in first page for most my players. I too read it was hard-coded.

same here... no master servers set, and works fine :p
