Fear Pb config.Fear Pb config.

Hello. I added a config to the pb folder and the command pb_dv_load for the pbsvuser.cfg. It seems that the md5 tool is working the logs show the checksums. The problem I am having is that the autoscreeners aren't showing up in the svss folder. I am using a pbsvgame.cfg, and have tried using a pbsv.cfg, but neither has worked. Also, was wondering how you can use commands in the server since it uses the SCMD. hl2sw maybe? Here is the config i'm using.

pb_sv_restart ?

I need to add the line pb_sv_restart to the .cfg file? Cause as far as I know there isn't a way to issue commands in the server.

Really ?

Log in as administrator on server and then type in console :

pb_sv_restart

It should work.

on a rented server use the Punkbuster Webstool, ask your GSP to enable it

Ok, where is this console that I type anything in? I mean isn't everything for the SCMD done with the "say" command? And if you meant type it into the "say" command after logging into SCMD, what am I missing cause each time I try that it says "not a command" and gives me the list of available SCMD commands? I am new to Fear servers, but I admin SOF2 servers all the time and am very familiar with pb there and the console commands, just have never found a console to type in commands on our Fear servers.


I do have full access to the server as it is a server unit that I own, and have restarted the server many times. I will try the webtool, but I do have a feeling that it isn't going to be the issue as each time I do start the server, it does start logging and the entire cfg file does load according to the pblog. Anything else I maybe missing here?

Ok, got the webtool working, and did a few updates and restarts. Everytime I do issue one of those commands from the commands page, it says command issued, but then I only get black pages when I try and use the webtool more. Even if I try and go back to it from a new browser window, I have to actually restart the server in order to get back into the webtool. Any ideas why that is? Screeners still aren't being created though either.

example pbsv.cfg for a FEAR server:
http://games.xs4all.nl/forums/viewtopic.php?p=28735#28735 (scroll down to pbsv.cfg)

It is a linux server unit that the Fear server is running on...will that make any difference? I notice the mention of Win32 at the top of that list. Let me know, and I'll give it a go. Thank you for your post.

It doesn't matter if it is a Linux or Windows server. The file is named the same of both OS

Gotcha. Well, something must be amiss, cause I have tried the pbsv.cfg that was listed earlier here, but alas, no screeners. Where are they supposed to be created? I have a /fear/pb/svss folder but it remains empty. In SOF2 it creates a .sof folder alongside the SOF folder where it has a pb/svss folder where they are created. Is the FEAR/pb/svss folder the right directory for these screenshots to be created in, or is there something that isn't working right that maybe the reason they are not showing up?

Any other ideas? Kinda running out of them on this side.

Thanks for all your help so far.

host on windows?

I don't have the resources to help u out on this one. No linux available here

You should set up web interface. Open pbsv.cfg and append at the end
pb_sv_httpAddr SRV_IP_HERE
pb_sv_httpPort ANY_FREE_NONBLOCKED_PORT_BIGGER_THAN_1024
pb_sv_httpKey TOP_SECRET

save and restart fear srv. Then open in your browser
SRV_IP_HERE:ANY_FREE_NONBLOCKED_PORT_BIGGER_THAN_1024
PB Web Interface is really usefull in fear.

The ss folder is game_folder_name/pb/svss

When you issue some commands you need to do a pb restart from the web tool (command will be saved to config but not in use otherwise)

Some ftp progies seem to have issue linux/fear/host, you should also try a manual file refresh once logged in. If this happens to you after refresh the folder will be full. (no idea what causes this but once it shows the files it won't happen again)

** EDIT **
Also console in this game sux for using pb commands. As pb can't return reply text to the server console you can't trust that it applied the changes you asked.

change these in your file too you will find the very help full.

pb_sv_HttpShowGuid 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)] <---- player pb guid displayed in web tool
pb_sv_AutoUpdBan 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)] <---- If not used any pb bans will not be written to the ban file.
