pbsv

[Falkstick]

I'm currently tryin to get the messages running for punkbuster. When I try to load the config file pbsv.cfg. When I use the rcon command to load it up it is saying the file isn't found. The file is currently in the pb folder. I also put it in the main folder and uo folder to be sure and it still unable to find it. my current config looks like this

Can anyone tell me why it wouldn't be able to find it?

Thanks,

[Clanwarz]

I can probably fix it for you. I am the official www.punksbusted.com server provider. msn me and i take care of it for you.

[Anex]

Are you trying to run PB for United Offensive or regular Call of Duty?

What's the name of the file you're attempting to load?

How are you attempting to load it?

Have you tried just placing the file in the PB folder and issuing /rcon pb_sv_restart?

Need more info to be able to help...

Message Center in PunkBuster File - pbsv.cfg


Add this to your cod-server/pb/pbsv.cfg


//************************************************** *************************************
// PB TASKS - pb_sv_task
//************************************************** *************************************

// Empties list so tasks dont pile up, resets list.

pb_sv_taskempty

// Task setup for PunkBuster


pb_sv_task 20 300 "say ^7Welcome To: ^1[^7|^156^7|^1] ^7Canadian Legion ^7Call of Duty: UO"
pb_sv_task 30 330 "say ^1-=^3Resistance is Futile^1=-"

Then do this in-game console

\rcon pb_sv_restart

Thanks guys. I have this lines added into the code. Apparently since i'm on a windows box the coding isn't coming up. When the config file was loaded on a linux box it worked like a charm. Also I'm curious if anyone has heard of anything like Crow-king that will kick players if their ping gets too high for cod UO?

Thanks

[Oracleman]

Slightly off-topic, but Autokick 1.2.3 works fine with UO.

The config you posted above is my pbsv.cfg file that I wrote. I only use a windows box and it works fine. First, make sure the file is in your pb directory, second make sure it is named pbsv.cfg, third make sure that this "PB_SV_ENABLE" is in your server config file, fourth restart your game server.

It looks to me that pb is NOT running on your server.

[Falkstick]

file is in pb folder, it is correctly named pbsv.cfg and PB_SV_ENABLE is on my server config file. I have also restarted the server with no luck. When I do a /serverinfo it shows pb is enabled.

You need to have it set in your startup command.

+set sv_punkbuster 1

[BoSBrian]

I don't have it in my command line. We are running windows, but I don't think that matters.

You can actually add the task lines to your server config file. See if that helps.

Well tickle me to death and try it that way. And Bos just because you don't have it in your command line, God Forbid someone else tries to see if it will help them.

[BoSBrian]

???

[Falkstick]

I placed the command line in the servercfg.cfg file It still isn't firing. Dun know, Thanks though.

[Clanwarz]

OK, then it is a problem where you have the pb folder located. Doesn't fire up, doesn't work, this means game is not locating pb.

[Falkstick]

Punkbuster seems to be working fine. It kicks people the config seems to be firing. The only thing that isn't is the messaging system.

[Clanwarz]

paste me your wholoe pbsv.cfg

[BoSBrian]

Try joining your server and logging into rcon. Then enter the following:
\rcon PB_SV_HomePath

This will respond with your pb path. This is where your config must be located.

[Kon_Klink]

Hey Clanwarz i just wanted to thankyou big time for explaining how to get the messages to rotate via PB. It has helped me and my clan out greatly! I was just wondering what i need to change to make it so that the messages come every 30 seconds. Also i was wondering if there is any way to make it so they don't come all at once at the begining of the map.

thanks alot man! :smile:

[Clanwarz]

Let me make a couple of configs here in a few and I will post them all for you guys! :!:

[Cyberdoc]

Get on your server. Brting down your console and type;
/rcon set pb_sv_enable 1

[Clanwarz]

Get on your server. Brting down your console and type;
/rcon set pb_sv_enable 1

Actually it would be

\rcon pb_sv_enable - Enables the Punkbuster Server
\rcon pb_sv_disable - Disables the PunkBuster Server Software - the disabling does not take effect untill the game server is exited and restarted.
