PBBans

Yes correct but, for new commers to the game that freshly install it they will get the problem of no etkey because pb will not generate one. you have copied over your files of your punkbuster client, some servers you still neeed pb enabled but pb will not be able to ban you for any type of Multi hack errors or anything ive tested with it today. im just wanting to maybe make a installer that generates the etkey during the install so, anyone who installs it etkey will auto be there ive currently tested my installer that works, i just gotta get pba and pbb.exe to install during the process to keep it going. technically you do not need these, i have them uninstalled on my pc and ive had no problems at all. so i mean yeah people can dl it but i mean more time more problems to people who dont understand the way the game works.

Just have your installer copy the contents of the zip files from MaydaX's post to the pb directory. The PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe services will be installed automatically the first time the player connects to a PB enabled server:

You may also update PB from any version to the latest version released for ET by downloading the file available from my sites below, which contains updaters for all OS's. Just copy the pb folder from the file over the game's pb folder. The updates and the PB services installation will happen automatically the first time the player connects to a PB enabled server.

I'm so glad I killed off my ET server a while ago, so long as you will continue to support RtCW @ PBBans (streaming wise) it's all good for me

We support since a long time a ET-Installer (windows) that contains latest pb, activates the 2 needed punkbuster services and of course installs 2.60b. I also added a simple "keygen" to create a key during install.
The problem i see atm is: The generated key does not have the same length as common pb keys. This may end in getting banned on some server as they check the pb_guid length.
It's also sad to see now etkey.org etkey.net and who knows next might be .com .eu .co.uk .nl. We all have the same problem, why don't look for 1 solution together...

A very simple way to create a unique etkey. Just put that quote into a file like etkey.bat and run it.

If there is anyone interested, I can provide you with some more details on PB protocol for ET.

I was careful enough to make my etkey generator create keys with the exact same size and structure as the "regular" etkeys. The only change I implemented was, instead of placing the time and date of the etkey file creation in the respective bytes in the file, which makes regular etkeys rather easy to spoof, my generator fills those bytes with 8-bit wide random values (0-255 instead of 0-9). The PB server that runs along the game server on the server host uses the date and time of creation data from the etkey file to compute the PB GUID, so this will generate GUID's that are much harder to spoof and make the generation of 2 equal GUID's practically impossible.

Maybe this could help some new player:
A little pk3, placed in the mod folder of the server (and ofc. fastDL ) , which changes the error message to something like this:



You can get this pk3 here

Furthermore I added an easy installer (thx. to Harlekin) to the page, so everybody should be able to installing a valid PB service and ofc. a "valid" ETKEY.

Since i edit the: pb_sv_noguidgrace 0
I dont have the: VIOLATION (NO_GUID / EMPTY CDKEY) Empty CD Key Not Allowed on this Server, anymore.

But now i see they are kicked for this:
VIOLATION (COMFAIL) #133: name of the player (slot #1) PB INIT FAILURE (If this persists, visit evenbalance.com and click support to manually update PunkBuster) [NO_GUID(-) ***.***.**.***:27960]

How can i perfend the 133 kick?

To: schnoog

Is it possible you make a pk3, without your clan logo in the background in it?

Hey guys, I spent all night trying to figure out why I can't play ET and then found that in PB list I needed enemy teritory and not "wolfenstein" (long story), so I stumble across this great topic. I am a complete noob to the things you guys discused can you help me please and tell what do I need to do?

I tried to use the punkbuster updated files and the etkey generator from the links above, but i had no luck
Edited by bulliz, Dec 26, 2011 - 11:16 PM.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein

1. no luck is a Shrug-report, fix: http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-clientlog.html
2. make sure pbsrv are properly installed http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-pbsvc.html
3. simplest way to pbupdate is the old console version pbweb.exe , run from ET/pb/  pbweb.rar (48.19K)

You probably didn't run the update patch that upgrades ET from version 2.55 to version 2.60 BEFORE extracting the file with the PB updaters from my server's site or the file with the updated PB directory from MayDax's links.

In either case, you need to copy the PB directory from those files over your PB directory (overwriting it), AFTER running the 2.60 patch.

As to the etkey file created by my generator or Schnoog's site, don't forget you need to copy it to your etmain directory.

Hello, my question is this, can introduce some files on our servers, for when connecting players, upgrade your version of PB to the most recent, and if you don't have, create your etkeyt? , without being kicked from the server?


Greetings and thanks


¿Hola, mi pregunta es la siguiente, hay algun archivo que se pueda introducir en nuestros servidores, para cuando se conecten los jugadores , actualizar su versión de PB al más reciente , y si no tienen cree un etkey sin ser pateado del servidor?

Basándome en los archivos y datos descargados de la carpeta PB , de la web de Pedro-NF , e modificado un archivo (pbcl.db) este archivo dentro de la carpeta PB hace que se actualice el PB desde el servidor ,

Esta permitido modificar este archivo? o' esta prohibicion?

Puedo distribuirlo como solucion para el problema de las patadas PB por no estar actualizado?

Hay alguna forma de hacer que se descargue automaticamente desde nuestro serviodres?

Porfavor espero vuestra respuesta

Based on data downloaded files and the folder PB, the web of Pedro-NF, and modified a file (pbcl.db) this file into the folder makes PB PB is updated from the server,

This allowed to modify this file? orthis prohibition?

I can distribute it as a solution to the problem of PB kicked for not being updated?

Is there any way to be downloaded automatically from our serviodres?

Oooh,

I to made a etkey generator. Available here: http://www.hsclangaming.com/ on the download tab at top of forum select ETKey Generator. I also made a etkey generator program as well. Which was made for new players. Maybe someone can add it to a etproinstaller package? It scans your PC for a etkey if you already have one you cannot get a new one and the program closes. It also has a PB interface i made.(for windows only).

Heres the program:

If i noticed this topic earlied would of posted ages ago when etkeys stopped working from the game itself ages ago. Sorry guys.
Edited by Burgo855, Apr 6, 2012 - 02:36 AM.

Oooh wow, My link seems to not work sorry, I think its because of the way this forum is setup? if you paste that link in your search bar it would prompt you to download the program.

But this link SHOULD be working: http://headshotclan.comlu.com/pbbans_etkey_generator/

Its clean with malwarebytes anti-malware and Kaspersky internet security 2011/2012. I dont know about others as thats all i have on this PC at the moment.

But their shouldnt be anything.
