Starting Punkbuster properly

[Hammer]

Jedi_Pimp and I have seemed to have figured-out how to correctly start Punkbuster on a server. The problem relates to PB not having enough time to initialize before a map is started. So here's what we've come up with:

1. First, remove any PB-related statements from the command line used to start your server. That is, remove any +set sv_punkbuster 1 or +pb_sv_enable.
2. If you start the map rotation using the command line, i.e. if you issue either +map_rotate or +map <map_name> on the command-line, remove those as well.
3. On your server configuration file, e.g. server.cfg (or whatever it is you use on your server), add the following lines at the bottom of the file BEFORE the first map is started:
// Start Punkbuster
pb_sv_enable // If you want PB disabled, use pb_sv_disable instead
wait // This is required for proper PB startup

4. If you removed your map startup in step two, add that at the end of the server.cfg (AFTER the lines added in step 3 above).

That's pretty much it; you can use /pb_sv_enable or /pb_sv_disable as long as no map is running, which makes those command pretty much useless except within startup config scripts.

great, good info. I was having a problem wher sometimes it would start other times after reboot it would not.

next question:

We have two server on one box, different IP's :

In the start line +set fs_homepath C:\Program Files\Call of Duty1 this seems to create a folder in C:\Programs In it are the main/config_mp.cgf and the pb folders. problem is that once I start server two Call of Duty2 it try's to create the same folder...they cant share config_mp.cfg because they are different gametype servers......help meh...puleeaase!!

[Hammer]

Try enclosing the path in double quotes, i.e. +set fs_homepath "c:\Program Files\Call of Duty1". If that doens't work, you'll need the short name of each folder, e.g. set fs_homepath c:\progra~1\callof~1 ... to find out, open a dos prompt window and use dir /x from your c drive.

Any body know how to set other things up like i.e. console messages, random screenshots etc?

Any body know how to set other things up like i.e. console messages, random screenshots etc?

If I had to guess I bet the PB commands that worked in ET and RtCW would work for CoD as well

If that's the case then I'd suggest reading:

http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/et-ad/index.htm

to get a rundown on PB server side commands.

(Linux Ded)

well..umm.

I've tried this and it didn't work. I also tried to start it up with no map rotate and no mapcurrent stuff. Entered sv_punkbuster 1 in the console. Got "sv_punkbuster is read only" Also tried pb_sv_enable. Still no go.

CHMOD all the files on the server to 777, still no go. Is it just me..or is PB bugging out or something. I just cant get it to start up.

[Staley]

well..got it working... Guess that happens when you're to eager to get the servers and PB up :D

B/c i was so eager to get it running...I copied my PB dir intead of the linux serv dir to the server...

All LOLS on me i guess :clap:

[Anex]

lol :clap:

[UnDead]

Any body know how to set other things up like i.e. console messages, random screenshots etc?

Once you got a message that says "PunkBuster Server: Game Version [COD MP 1.4 build 1948 Apr 13 2004 17:31:28 win-x86]" (the win-x86 is for windows it will be like different for linux) in console telling you that Punkbuster is active the next thing you want to do is in main console type in pb_sv_writecfg which will add a config file called pbsv.cfg where you can make further permenant modifications to punkbuster like enabling auto Screenshot which is off by default.

[Cyberdoc]

Hammer,
Thank's, that seemed to do it for me. Now, besides seeing the server listed w/ the pb logo, is there a way to verify that the server is receiving updates?


Undead- GG, ill work on that next............arrgh...so much new stuff with pb......lol


doc -teh pb b00n

Why does IW only list sv_punkbuster as a cvar?

If what you've posted is the right way to do this then why the different cvar?

[arcturus]

Sorry, I'm still unclear on this. I removed the +map_rotate from my command line "C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec dedicated.cfg +map_rotate.

Are you saying I need to add these lines:

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

and

//Map Rotate
set map_rotate <----------?

before

// Map rotation (sv_maprotation)
set sv_maprotation "map mp_stalingrad mp_bocage map mp_brecourt map mp_carentan map mp_chateau map mp_dawnville map mp_depot

map mp_harbor map mp_hurtgen map mp_neuville map mp_pavlov map mp_powcamp map mp_railyard map mp_rocket map mp_ship"

in my dedicated.cfg file because I tried this and no map was loaded.

Strangely when I added +map_rotate BACK to my command line it seems to have worked though there does seem to be some duplication. Here's what it looks like:

[Jedi_Pimp]

lets do this step by step:

1 . remove +map_rotate from your startup (exe or file)

2. place these lines in your server cfg

pb_sv_enable
wait



3. your map rotation must be called last (last lines of your server cfg or executed in last if its in its own .cfg file):

rotation config should look like this:


sv_maprotationcurrent ""

set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_carentan gametype tdm map mp_stalingrad gametype tdm map mp_chateau gametype tdm map mp_dawnville gametype tdm map mp_harbor gametype tdm map mp_neuville gametype tdm map mp_pavlov gametype tdm map mp_powcamp gametype tdm map mp_railyard gametype tdm map mp_rocket gametype tdm map mp_brecourt"

map_rotate



note " set map_rotate " dont work !!! its simply "map_rotate"

[Jedi_Pimp]

Why does IW only list sv_punkbuster as a cvar?

If what you've posted is the right way to do this then why the different cvar?

what has been posted is right !! y did they post only 1 cvar ask them ... anyhow using
pb_sv_enable
wait is the best way of doing it ! this way ull make sure to give enough time for PB to start.

PS: not eveyone has access to the startup file so this can also be used as an alternative way !

[Leifless]

well, i did exactly what hammer said. after i edited the start script, it would not start anymore...now i probably have to get the server reinstalled, since the system admin was kinda helpless too.
i know it worked for others, so im really curious to find out what happened. :?

[Jedi_Pimp]

do me a favor .. post your startup file or exe and your server config (s)..

i bet its a small mistake somewhere

[arcturus]

1 . remove +map_rotate from your startup (exe or file)

Done, new exe now shows

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


2. place these lines in your server cfg

pb_sv_enable
wait[/quote]


3. your map rotation must be called last (last lines of your server cfg or executed in last if its in its own .cfg file):

rotation config should look like this:


sv_maprotationcurrent ""

set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_carentan gametype tdm map mp_staligrad gametype tdm map mp_chateau gametype tdm map mp_dawnville gametype tdm map mp_harbor gametype tdm map mp_neuville gametype tdm map mp_pavlov gametype tdm map mp_powcamp gametype tdm map mp_railyard gametype tdm map mp_rocket gametype tdm map mp_brecourt"

its a dedicated linux box btw.

[Jedi_Pimp]

Looks to be running OK but why does it look for the search path and file handles twice?

@ arcturus it does the search path to check and read your files...now y file handles twice ..humm i dont know but i bet somone around here could answer you soon :wink:

@Leifless Your startup file is good ! but not your rotation...

setup you rotation as such:


sv_maprotationcurrent ""

set sv_mapRotation " Your map rotation "

map_rotate

[Leifless]

thanks for the tip with the rotation jedi. btw, i figured out what went wrong...i forgot to set the permission on the file before i uploaded it. :?

im still a noob with this server stuff but im catching on quick. :!:

[Jedi_Pimp]

ohh yea your talkin bout the good old chmod 777 hehehee

[Heinz]

lets do this step by step:
1 . remove +map_rotate from your startup (exe or file)
2. place these lines in your server cfg

pb_sv_enable

3. your map rotation must be called last (last lines of your server cfg or executed in last if its in its own .cfg file):
rotation config should look like this:

sv_maprotationcurrent ""
set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_carentan gametype tdm map mp_stalingrad gametype tdm map mp_chateau gametype tdm map mp_dawnville gametype tdm map mp_harbor gametype tdm map mp_neuville gametype tdm map mp_pavlov gametype tdm map mp_powcamp gametype tdm map mp_railyard gametype tdm map mp_rocket gametype tdm map mp_brecourt"
map_rotate

note " set map_rotate " dont work !!! its simply "map_rotate"

crap on a cracker. I did all that, and it's still not PB enabled.
:cry:

ok im not officialy lost
i also tried

set sv_pb_enable "1"


no dice

*linux box

chmod 777 is done

[MOMMA]

I'm in the same boat. I removed the map rotate from my shortcut, added the two lines stated above into my config. But the server still shows PB is not enabled. I also can not drop the console and enable it. If I type /pb_sv_enable into the console it gives me a line looking like it's enabled but wont query or allow me to do anything such as a /pb_sv_plist or screenshot..nothing.. and the in-game browser still shows PB as not enabled. I also tried /sv_punkbuster 0 and 1. My server does show up as being 1.4 though.

[wax108]

THX is was wondering why the cvar don't work.

Thanks for your post Hammer & Jedi Pimp.

For me it works now...

map_rotate

if your still not having PB to start ..make sure you updated to 1.4 CoD correctly!

[MOMMA]

I made my config almost identical to yours. Still no PB. :cry: I'm at a loss as to what I need to do. Also define correctly. The host dl the patch and installed it. Was there some other way he was to do it? I did not have to upload any files and the server shows it is upgraded to 1.4.

[Hammer]

There should be a pb directory at the same level as CoD linux binary, so make sure the host included that.

[MOMMA]

Crap.. I can only see from my Main folder down.. I can't see if there is a PB folder. I will have to email my host and wait for a reply..this sucks.

[shoreforge]

Create a config file under your pb folder named pbsvuser.cfg.

In that file place:

pb_sv_enable

[MOMMA]

Hey we got it fixed! YAY..


Had the host restart the CoD server several times with no results..then he rebooted the machine.. now it works.

Don't ask me why. But hey, it works.

[imported_Spive]

I was just going to mention what Hammer did... make sure that you uploaded the /pb folder and all its contents into your cod folder.

In your /cod folder you should see the linux binary, the /Main folder and a /pb folder among other things.

[Jedi_Pimp]

Hey we got it fixed! YAY..


Had the host restart the CoD server several times with no results..then he rebooted the machine.. now it works.

Don't ask me why. But hey, it works.

glad to know it does !!!! :lol:

[Glanzer]

Could an admin move this thread to the Punkbuster forum and sticky it? There is REALLY GREAT info here and I'd hate to see it drop out of these forums. THANKS to all you guys for such great help in these forums!

[RickTB]

Ok I think I may have the answer to some of your problems. I too was having trouble setting up punkbuster, and initiating a map rotation in the server.cfg file.

!)Ok once you remove +map_rotate and +set punkbuster 1 or +pb_sv_enable, from the command line.

2)Your config file should have:

pb_sv_enable
wait

set sv_maprotation "blahblah"
set sv_maprotationcurrentmap ""

map_rotate

**Make sure your config file is NOT called server.cfg. I was having the same problems and I followed all the good advice and still did not work until I renamed my CFG file to codserver.cfg**

Now PB enables AND the map rotation works automatically!
