Any Server Messages Yet?

[Preacher]

Just want to know what people are using for server message atm?
Can punkbuster.cfg do it like it did for COD 4?

[HarryRag]

The PB messages can just be used as in cod4.

[Preacher]

Whats the method to create a pb.cfg file again?
I remember you type something in console

[XS>MANSTER]

I am using the new release of COD RCON 10.
It kicks ass and all of the updates for COD 5 are in the tool.

[RaDioAcTivE]

At the bottom of your pbsv.cfg you add the following:

//server console messages
pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg

Then create a new cfg called svrmsgs.cfg and add the following to it:

pb_sv_taskempty



// Task setup for PunkBuster

pb_sv_task 20 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 75 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 100 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 200 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 300 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 400 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 450 700 "say ^7Your message here."


So for the first message it'll desplay at 20 seconds and every 700 seconds from that point.

I have done this, I copied the settings I had from our COD4 server, but no messages are showing up. Our server has hardcore enabled, do messages work on hardcore?

[woowoo]

You added this to pbsv.cfg?
//server console messages
pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg

And you restarted the server?

[Canadaka]

Yes to both. I restarted the server several times as well as the pb restart command.

this is the contents of my svrmsgs.cfg

pb_sv_taskempty

//^1 for Red
//^2 for Green
//^3 for Yellow
//^4 for Blue
//^5 for Cyan
//^6 for pink/Magenta
//^7 for White
//^8 for Black

pb_sv_task 10 1000 "^3Please read and follow our server rules: http://clan.canadaka.ca/server_rules"
pb_sv_task 100 1100 "^3Please add our server to your favorites"
pb_sv_task 200 1200 "^3View our server stats at http://clan.canadaka.ca/ultrastats/"
pb_sv_task 300 1300 "^3join us on our teamspeak server teamspeak.canadaka.ca:8781 (password=ckats)"
pb_sv_task 400 1400 "^1Canada Kicks Ass!"
pb_sv_task 500 1500 "^3You Canadian? Join =CKA= and fight for homefront!"
pb_sv_task 600 1600 "^3Interested in joining the #1 Canadian clan, visit our website http://clan.canadaka.ca/"
pb_sv_task 700 1700 "^3Come back often to rise up our top killers list at http://clan.canadaka.ca/ultrastats/"

[RaDioAcTivE]

Just a guess here but try lowering the time settings to something below 1000...try 700 just for kicks because I know for a fact that it works.

Check your syntax for spelling issues...

it should work!!! lol

fyi, it should be:

pb_sv_task 10 100 say "Your message"


your forgot the word "say"

[Jokerhv]

At the bottom of your pbsv.cfg you add the following:

//server console messages
pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg

Then create a new cfg called svrmsgs.cfg and add the following to it:

pb_sv_taskempty



// Task setup for PunkBuster

pb_sv_task 20 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 75 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 100 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 200 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 300 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 400 700 "say ^7Your message here."
pb_sv_task 450 700 "say ^7Your message here."


So for the first message it'll desplay at 20 seconds and every 700 seconds from that point.

Do you need to save this file in the same folder as the pbsv.cfg?

[wishdwd]

To me works like this:

/rcon login rconpassword
/rcon pb_sv_writecfg

This will make PB write the pbsv.cfg to the pb folder

now download the pbsv.cfg file to desktop via FTP, & open it w/ notepad

-at the bottom of that config file add this line to it:

pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg

// Colors for text. Do not clear the comment in front of the color codes.
// Useful for your server name, motd msg's - Information and ref use only
//
// ^1 = Red
// ^2 = Green
// ^3 = Yellow
// ^4 = Blue
// ^5 = Cyan
// ^6 = pink/Magenta
// ^7 = White
// ^0 = Black

pb_sv_task 20 240 "say XXXXXXX"
pb_sv_task 60 240 "say XXXXXXX"
pb_sv_task 120 240 "say XXXXXXX"
Like COD4 ^^

Do you need to save this file in the same folder as the pbsv.cfg?

Yes, at the same folder "PB"

pbsv.cfg | svrmsgs.cfg

[TRTL]

For some reason, my WAW server won't write a pb cfg. It worked on COD4. Any suggestions??

/rcon login rconpw
/pb_sv_writecfg

and it says in console that the pb cfg was written and the path... pb/pbsv.cfg

NEVERMIND.. GOT IT

[Server789]

Well I have my messages working but they are all chopped up and only shows one line (part of line) where as in cod4 it showed about 3 or 4 lines at a time why???
I also noticed the chat disappears immediately if you add another reply...basically you can only have one line of chat up at a time ???? This is annoying to say the least... anyway to get more lines on the screen for chat and messages??

[Hitman Smurf]

type in the console pb_sv_writecfg :salute:

I did this and added this to pbsv.cfg:

pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg

and created a svrmsgs.cfg containing this:

pb_sv_taskempty

// Task setup for PunkBuster

pb_sv_task 60 420 "say ^7Welcome to ^1The Elders ^7| ^3HC ^4Mix ^7- ^1FF is on!"
pb_sv_task 120 420 "say ^7Visit our forums ^1@ ^3www.theelders.net"
pb_sv_task 180 420 "say ^4Check us out at ^2www.jointopz.com"
pb_sv_task 240 420 "say ^1The Elders ^7are ^3recruiting"
pb_sv_task 300 420 "say ^7Join us in vent ^1@ ^3TX1.LeetVent.com ^7port: ^33798 ^7channel password: ^3te"

worked perfectly, thanks for the tips guys. :D

[Danoze]

I used the exact thing that was mentioned in the COD4 area on here and it worked fine.
