i tried updating punkbuster manually with the htm files
but i think i did it right but i still get kicked why
sry guys but im a real noob,i just dont get it

What it is for a Server

its a gameserver or a rootserver

if it a rootserver you must the server updaten with rcon
you find help here

its a gameserver go to your Gameserver provider and you say my server run old Pb version update server plz, and then functions it

Da du ja Niederländer bist auch auf deutsch das was einfacher ist für dich

Was is es für ein Server

Ist es ein Gameserver oder ein Rootserver?

Wenn es ein Rootserver ist musst du per Rcon dein Server Updaten
Wir helfen dir dann hier!

Wenn es ein Gameserver ist geh zu dein Anbieter und Sag ihm dein Server muss upgedatet werden mit pb. Die machen dir das dann. Und dann kannst du Spielen.

Please bare with me while i reply in here in dutch..

heb je deze howto gevolgd?
http://www.fragvalley.nl/users/schaap2k/FearServerHowto/

mooi dan nu punkbuster..

download PBSETUP op: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

start deze op en druk op ADD Game


dit doe je 2 keer

1keer met als map x:\JouwFearServerMap\
1keer met als map x:\JouwFearServerMap\USER\

ram nu op update en wacht tot ie klaar is

wat je ook kunt proberen is in de serverconsole pb_sv_update in te voeren

ok cool
thnx for the fast reply
im going to start over and try it the way you told me
and follow the steps you showed me

in dutch:
ok cool
dank je voor je snelle reactie
ik ga het ff helemaal over nieuw proberen en het op jou manier doen
ik zal de stappen volgen die je me hebt laten zien

ok thnx again 5chaap2k it worked
the funny thing is i tried it my way i installed it on my c:\programfiles\sierra\deicated server
but that dint work i tried to redirect the path of my server to that map in the properties
but i didnt get it
so i did it your way by installing it to c:\servers\fearcombat
and copied the files from monolith to a map i called USER in fear combat just like u said
then i made the path in properties of my server just like yours and it works
i also upgraded it with punkbuster i did the upgrade on al the maps
lol
and its ok now my server is up and running i dont know how i did it but its ok now
i just dont get why i cant just install it where i want and get it to work
but if i do it your way it works grrrrrrrrrrrr
the only thing i dint get was this



can you tell me what that does or is

but you did a 2 server setup and i only did 1 is that ok ??

yes it's easyer to install additional extra servers if u do it this way, otherwise the second server will use the same pb config etc. and that will give errors. If u install only one server this way it will be fine asswell

those settings in pbsv.cfg enable the punkbuster webtool, a webpage wich allows u to controll the server without having to join the game

first of al i like to thank you again for your help and you tutorial
me and my friends are really enjoying our server and other people to
its lots of fun
but i need your help again plz i cant get the webtool up and running i just dont get what file i must edit
i made a pic of the c:\SERVERSFEARCOMBAT\USER\pb folder:

can you tell me what file i must use .....
i tried a few thing but i dont get it
and i have a other question what is ScmdPassword... what is scmd?
and i had some unique players what are unique players why are they unique?

No PBSV.CFG

In console enter:
pb_sv_writecfg
and then a pbsv.cfg should appear there!

SCMD?

Read the readme of f.e.a.r.

SCMD allows some admin commands ingame via chat

SCMD login SCMDPASSWORD
SCMD help

then pres your chatkey and use PgUp and PgDown to scroll trough the possible commands

Unique players
Unique means different players so if 2 guys keep joining and leaving your server that number stays 2

i cant get my webtool up and running
i messed up some files with fear and had to reinstall every thing
but i got the server up and running and also made a PBSV.CFG
but the webtool doesnt come up..
i put in these files

pb_sv_HttpPort Any portnumber is possible, however i suggest keeping it between 1024 - 10000
pb_sv_HttpAddr IP-address to listen on (mostly the same as bindtoaddr in ServerOptions.txt)
pb_sv_HttpKey Password to acces the PB Webtool (to prevent the whole world from being able to controll your servers)

i dont remember must i delete al the stuf that in there and then paste that in or just put it in with it

as stated in the example PBSV.CFG at: http://games.xs4all.nl/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2590

pb_sv_HttpPort 666 //port to run webtool on
pb_sv_HttpAddr "192.168.0.1" //Server IP
pb_sv_HttpRefresh 30 //autorefresh in seconds 
pb_sv_HttpKey "almarulez" //Password for webinterface

with the above stated settings the webtool should be accessable via http://192.168.0.1:666 with password almarulez

nope it dint work ive been trying al day to get it work......
i tried several diffrent ways but...and i know i do it right
i even copie and paste the example you gave and put in my password and server ip
even then it dont work.....
are you sure webtool isnt down?
