I'm looking for a couple more mods for the UK server to help out kicking/banning and making sure teams stay balanced. If anyone is interested in helping out please PM me (no new accounts - i'll only allow people with a decent forum presence who i can trust to have the access) - there is no minimum requirement of hours to put in, it just makes it more likely a mod will be playing if the server is in use (i have setup pbbans streaming so anyone banned through that network get banned on the UK server automatically - and anyone cheating on that server will get banned through pbbans).

Also if anyone enjoys using the UK server any donations would greatly help ensure i can keep it running (nothing massive but it does cost ~£30 a month to keep going, so anything will help).

Your doing it wrong, do this;

1. Turn on PB
2. Restart server
3. Login to RCON
4. goto server settings and select PB off

that's it, don't restart the server, go into game and look at your server status, its now showing as off but is in actual fact on.

or

1. Turn on PB
2. add punkBuster.pb_sv_command pb_sv_restart to pbsv.cfg
3. restart server
4. Wait 30 seconds after restart for the pb task to run and change status

go into game and look at your server status, its now showing as off but is in actual fact on.


But be aware that running with PB on "may" cause huge amounts of crashes when the server is full, our server is very popular, 11th in the UK and 137th globally and its not uncommon for it to crash upwards of 10 - 15 times in any 24 hour period, which is why we have been running with it off for a few days.

This thread has some interesting info on PB and server population. Pages 2-3 are most important. I dont know what to think anymore.

That's exactly what we've done. Our PB is on (as well as PBBans) but the server browser says it's off. And for the first time ever our server has been full for 24 hours:

Sounds like it may be the reason we sit with our server empty except for us.

Good thing for mods to do (and you) is scope out Youtube for recent bfbc2 wallhacks aimbot esp videos and if any of these guys are stupid enough to leave their names in the clip…add them to a server ban list. I’ve pre banned a few people by doing this…but the lists never seem to stay around in Guardian/Command center.

I think a US west coast server is in order... My ping is like 160 - 250 for each of those...

in game ping? or actual ping, just double checking because not everyone knows that the in game ping isnt ping. 160= about 60-70 if im correct.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah it's latency not ICMP

hmmm Have not checked in game ping. Good to know though.

Just checked. Pings are reasonable, but their is not players

interesting. that is something we have been doing from day 1. i find it strange that the first week we had our server full a lot! now it sits empty most of the time.

The servers show PB off but in fact it's actually running?

yup. right now our server is grayed out. put a ticket in with MIS.

 

[Easy Rhino]

ok, it wasnt grayed out, well it was, but it was the server prior to me reinstalling the files. so everyone should do a new search for [TPU]

Did you not read the title of the thread?

This is a clubhouse for the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Servers…we have multiple servers in game. Good place for admins to talk etc...

I agree, we should get a fund going.

kurgans server has good ping

 

[human_error]

gah, banned 10 stat padders in the last 5 mins - some solo some in groups. Anyone got any pro tips for dealing with these other than constantly monitoring the server? I don't want it abused for the purposes of grinding levels.

Someone also had the cheek to ask me to leave the server when i logged in because they wanted to play with their friends (at this time there were 4 of us in total on the server).

 

[Easy Rhino]

from my host

We are in the process of updating all servers to version R8.
During this time your server will go down, patch will be applied and it will then be restarted. Please do not do anything with your server until you receive a second email from us saying the update is complete.

This new patch is suppose to help with crashing issues:
Workaround for the "player manages to join server twice" crash. Now the server detects this and refuses the player entry. Client might hang but it will not take down the server as well.
Workaround for the "cannot join player to any team" crash. Teams might get uneven, most notably SQDM sessions with 5v3 players, but the server should no longer crash.

 

[Nimmer]

Kurg server is sweet.

 

[ShiBDiB]

lets do a squad DM tourney with a tree and all that shit.. team captains and what not and set it up so everyone with night/day schedules get a chance to participate...

any thoughts?

what happened to this?


Maybe even get tpu to officially support it and get some kind of prize
