Pb Messages

[FireDawg911]

I put admin say messages in the cfg file and it works, however it shows the message twice. if using gaurdian and i hit tlist it shows all of the tasks twice.. Any help or ideas..:)

Can someone that has this working, copy and paste their pb cfg and a "how to" on setting up messages.

If we do use a software program, do we have to keep it running? Or do we just create a server messages.cfg in the pb folder and add run servermessages.cfg or whatever it was we did for COD, in the main pb.cfg?

If you use a tool you have to keep it running.

I had messages running via PB tasks before but not currently. It ran fine then. I'm planning on putting them back in soon.

I created (actually, Gameservers.com had this blank .cfg file in there already) a 'custompb1.cfg' file and pasted the following into it:

;pb_sv_task X Y game.sayALL "MESSAGE HERE"
;X= Number of seconds after server start to say message
;Y= Number of seconds before repeating this message
pb_sv_task 120 840 admin.say "Welcome to the =[LLC]= Late Late Crew Server" all
pb_sv_task 240 840 admin.say "Visit www.latelatecrew.com for Teamspeak3 info" all
pb_sv_task 360 840 admin.say "Griefers and Drama Queens will be kicked" all
pb_sv_task 480 840 admin.say "Please add us to your Favorites" all
pb_sv_task 600 840 admin.say "This server streams to PBBans" all
pb_sv_task 720 840 admin.say "We are recruiting mature players 18+" all
pb_sv_task 840 840 admin.say "Please consider donating - www.latelatecrew.com" all

Then, in my pbsv.cfg file I put this line near the bottom:

pb_sv_load custompb1.cfg

This puts up a new message every two minutes and then restarts from the beginning. You can change X to 60, 120, 180, etc and Y to 420 if you want them to show up every one minute instead. Flavor to taste. :)

Hope this helps!

Thanks a million guys!

Hey WooWoo, are you going to use a tool or put them in a pb file. I am afraid to leave a tool logged in because of server crash.

Does this go in the pb cfg file like COD4, or is there another way this needs to be done? I have tried the cfg file, but the messages never display in game. I even tried putting them in a separate cfg file and executing it from the pbsv.cfg, but still doesnt work. What am i doing wrong please?

[=7i= R3APeR]

Does this have to be done via an rcon tool like BC2 Guardian? Ive read here that some people have PB running the messages, but it doesnt work for me.

I rent from gameservers, so it worked for me exactly as Packerfan posted.

Yeah me too, Gameservers....doesnt work though. Looking in the pb logs, the taskd are being executed, but they never display on screen while in game.

I didn't have any issues with mine. I just changed the messages to what I wanted, copy/paste in the folders he posted, restarted servers and it worked. I would double check everything and make sure you restart after changing cfgs. If that doesn't do it, submit a ticket to gameservers.

UGH!! I forgot to put "all" at the end of the messages, thank you guys, its working fine now.

Need any help, hit me up on xfire. I am on most nights after 9pm est time.

I used this set up to get server messages working and it worked like a champ.

So now I have another question. On the server the server messages all come up a pale blue. Is there a way to change the server message colors to something more eye catching? Red would be good.

What ever you guys can do to help would be much appreciated.

Thanks. -NVG3D-
