PB Power Points

Recommended Posts

Ok so whenever I give a friend of mine pb power points, I give him 50.

 

When he disconnects or the next map loads, he gets reset to 0.

 

I've been at this for hours and can't find a way to make it stick.

Check in the pbpower.dat file. Make sure that there is not an extra newline character at the end of the file. I had this problem with my server - i had a newline character there, and it was placing a blank line in between the current power slot and the newly inserted one, and then when PB restarted it wouldnt read past the newline and would not remember the latest additions.

 

Easiest fix: Add his power. Rename the .dat file to .txt. Edit the file, remove the blank line that is in there, and any duplicates that occur of the inserted power. Save the file, rename to .dat. Then either do a server restart or a pb_sv_restart. Then your problem should be fixed!

I've read this, its like the server won't keep it.

 

I've assigned other clan mates pb points and it stays but for him it won't which is odd.

Everytime he disconnects or the next map starts it resets to 0 while my other clan mates pb points stay.

i think he is asking if there are /carriage returns/new lines/enter between the lines of info

 

 

mine has none

 

you do need to be sure the lines don't run together. it will stop reading after it gets to the first nick position on a line

The text has no new lines between the them, for example, this is how i see the pbpower.dat

 

[Timestamp] 100 GUID
Nickname
[Timestamp] 80 GUID
Nickname
[Timestamp] 60 GUID
Nickname
[Timestamp] 40 GUID
Nickname

The one that works on my server is like this:

 

[Timestamp] 100 GUID Nickname
[Timestamp] 80 GUID Nickname
[Timestamp] 60 GUID Nickname
[Timestamp] 40 GUID Nickname

strange... even though it is like that, my other clan mates pb power will stay except Bulldog's..

 

Could there be a way to force it to give him PB points every time he connects?

You can set a pb task to re add the power level when he joins the server, but then you are just going to fill the pbpower.dat file with lines and lines and lines and lines of the same command, and thats just silly.

Although it is silly, its the only I can find to keep him from losing his power... I don't understand why it keeps defaulting to 0 for him but not everyone else.

 

To add

 

When I do his power I get the update from PB

 

 Punkbuster Server: Power record updated for Bulldog
