Streaming Setup Issues and Console Tool

My provider sent this message out earlier:
So, that may help some other people who stop streaming every so often. Every time my server crashed, punkbuster would end up off again.

By default, the system would disable punkbuster. This has been fixed, all you gotta do is go edit the main configuration file (setting punkbuster to true), and save it. It will save it with punkbuster enabled.

Hey Big_Guy21,
the admin script (running at startup) could help to overcome this until AOWC fixes it.

I must be doing something wrong, as my two servers are still not showing as streaming.
I have downloaded the scripts and ran them. Even restarted the server to no avail.

Try our updated webtool 
http://www.pbbans.com/account/webtool.php
Make sure it says Version 1.26. May have to close all browser windows and try again if it keeps saying 1.24 or 1.25. 1.26 checks to see if PB is enabled.

FLOT's BC2 server is now streaming!
Just wanted to give a BIG thanks to all the folks working on helping us keep the servers free of smacktards and cheaters!
EDIT: In case it helps anyone else, I logged into our server using the Command Console and entered the PB commands manually, rather than using the scripts or webtool.

Hmmm
I'm having problems streaming, never had issues in the past with CoD2, CoD4 but BFBC2 just isn't working.
I've tried the webtool and even though it reports back as done & ok, it still wont stream. Tried the direct console tool scripts & entered all the commands separately and still not streaming. The pb_sv_uconlist reported NO entries after all the commands, so knew it wasn't going to work.
I've also done manual placing of files via Clanforge (yes Multiplay customer) and still not working, yet I've used the same method with Clanforge as I have done with COD2 & CoD4.
So it must be a GSP Side problem, well hopefully
Cheers

Also be sure your using Webtool v1.26 or later since it checks to see if pb is enabled.
Try this:
http://www.pbbans.com/forums/streaming-setup-issues-and-console-tool-t112717.html/page__view__findpost__p__298214
There is a bug in the Events Console that cuts off multi-line data. So in the case of uconlist only the headers get returned. Because of this bug Webtool doesn't check the pb results. That will be added when the Events are fixed on the server side.

Many Thanks for the advice.
I'll need to do some further testing as my server has just been patched to
Now whenever I try and use Clanforge Live Control it reports back as pb_sv_uconlist = Unknown command, yet PB is running and enabled.
Will contact Multiplay.

All Bad Company 2 servers have just been patched with server R4. DICE is aware of a number of issues including crash problems which are effecting the current builds and are working hard to fix the problems, this update is the first step towards that

Hi
Went through the process again and noticed that pbbanshub was already entered, so deleted the entry and tried as you suggested MaydaX and still doesn't stream.
Must be a GSP issue and as i said i'll try there later tonight.

Aaaaargh!!! Streaming constantly stops here. Start server, it streams, 5 mins later nothing. restart server it streams again. Driving me nuts.
Hypernia have now allowed text editing of the pbsv.cfg so could someone please check this is ok?
Server Flags are AutoMD5Update, AutoEnforce and Announce new bans.
And yes, the console reports PB is ON.

Might be the fact that the timeout is higher and that you don't have the quotes.

Thanks, scripts created by maydax use sessionlimit 8 , and timeout 300 was there after using those scripts, changing now.

I used the pbsv.cfg from the MCi
Strange they aren't the same. If that doesn't work the only other thing I can think of is that you don't have a pbucon.use file.

If you don't have access to any files to even look at what's there I would guess you would have no way of checking... and I'm pretty sure you need the pbucon.use file as this is what is used to connect with the PBBans hub as far as I know.
Have you tried setting it up using the webtool?
I know using that fixed issues I was having on a BF2142 server before.

I can copy/paste to the pbsv.cfg via the hypernia control panel. Thats it for access. it been streaming for a few days, but stops all the time.
I pasted the pbsv.cfg from here this morning with no improvement.

I'm in the same boat with clanforge. I managed to get the server to stream with GGC by using "" on the commands so will try the same method but change the IP details around to PBBans details.
