Punk Buster Command Not Working

[wcSki]

Does anyone know why the following punk buster command does not work in COD:WW like it does in COD4?

pb_sv_task 10 220 pb_sv_say 0 ^5Message Here.


This puts up punkbuster messages on our COD4 server. We use them for the server rules.

Well in COD:WW I have tried the same commands and they do not come up on the screen.

When I look in console it shows the tasks running... but the message never show on the players screen.

When I change to:

pb_sv_task 10 220 say ^5Message Here.

It shows the console messages like it should... but the nice thing about the pb_sv_say command is that the messages show along the bottom of the screen... well they do in COD4.

They are not in COD:WW... is there is setting I need to set in PB to place the messages in certain spot on the screen??? Like I said... it shows the task running in console.... it just is not showing the messages... like they maybe popping up off the playing screen some where is my thought.

Any ideas or help?

So nobody uses the pb_sv_say command? :(

Place all messages in a file named srvrmsgs.cfg and put that in your pb folder.

In your pbsv.cfg file place this line at the end:

pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg

From rcon (or HLSW) do:

pb_sv_restart

I have had no problems with pb messages from initial release.

Note: Don't forget the quotes:

pb_sv_task 20 360 "say ^3This is my message for you"

Dude,

Its not the messages when you use the command


pb_sv_task 20 360 "say ^3This is my message for you"

that is the issue.... it works like I have stated.... the problem is I want to use the command...

pb_sv_task 20 360 pb_sv_say 0 ^3This is my message for you

notice it does not use just SAY it is PB_SV_SAY with the punkbuster command. On my COD4 server the messages will come up on the bottom of the screen and NOT in console.

This way looks much better because the text is smaller and the messages come up across the bottom of the screen.

However, in COD5 this command does not seem to work and I am not sure why. When I look in my console it shows the messages, but I am not seeing them.

I am wondering if I need to set something to move where the messages are coming up.... like maybe they are coming up off the screen so I can not see them.

Hope that better explains it.

I hate to bring up an old thread, but I'm wanting to do this as well and I'm having the exact same problem.

Shows up in console, but not on in-game screen. Any reason why this doesn't work for WaW?

I've tried to do it with a separate pbsvmsg config AND just using the pbsv config.

I've tried to put the quotations in different places (I've seen people place them in 2 different spots) and also tried not using the quotation marks like I've seen.

I'm not so sure it works with WaW at all. :confused:

well your not going to get it to show "say" like WcSki wants. And its not going to show on the bottom.

It shows up at the upper left as a console message. Put your messages in a svrmsgs.cfg file, and exec it from your pbsv.cfg file - both files are in the pb folder.

pb_sv_load svrmsgs.cfg is the call up in the pbsv.cfg - just like SicDude said.

I dont know any other way.

Yeah, I can already get them to show up as console messages. Oh well, need a mod I guess.
