BC2 Server owners thread.

How do we add the new maps then, it aint on clanforge yet!

I've not tested it yet but I added these lines to PRoCon's "connection_onload.cfg"

Code:
procon.protected.maps.add "CONQUEST" "levels/mp_009cq" "Conquest" "Laguna Presa"
procon.protected.maps.add "RUSH" "levels/mp_012gr" "Rush" "Port Valdez"

I'm going to double-check this later but it should work afaik.

edit: Reading on the PRoCon forums it looks like it may or may not work. There's going to be a PRoCon update shortly that should address it.

Am i missing or misunderstanding something here? If people see PB enabled on a server in the browser no-one joins? I would have thought they'd be the full servers, I always search for PB only servers because I don't want a match full of hacks. Maybe that's just me though :(

Nope thats not the case.... our server is usually always full because we've got PB off, however i can assure you its a nice little trap for hackers. Our PB is streaming beautifully!!!

Also i've added the new map to =TFU= Just need restart now and the server is full grrrrr.

Nice one mate!

Also regarding bans, this version of pb is slightly differen to the one I'm used to. It will kick and ban a GUID from A server if a violation occurs, but will only GUID ban from all Pb streaming servers when Evenbalance give the go ahead. They used to do this on cod4, so that all cheaters are banned at the same time so they don't know which hack was detected, quite clever really. Imho they should bring back the hardware ban!

there you go, Although it doesnt end there, many (if not most now) servers are running the PB on work around where by it displays as off but is actually on, like ours, the one listed in the image.

I know its working as well as we are adding people to the MBL
 
there are several ways to do this, some will work better for you than others. Basically;

Option 1
1. Set your server via your gsp admin panel to have PB on
2. add the line

pb_sv_task 30 -1 vars.punkBuster false

to the bottom of your pbsv.cfg

3. Reboot the box via your gsp admin panel
4. Count to 30
5. Launch game and confirm PB off status.

or

Option 2
1. Reboot the box via your gsp admin panel with PB on then close the your gsp admin panel (your done here)
2. Launch Procon and log into server rcon
3. Goto server settings and select pb off
5 goto the player tab and if it went well you should see country flags and clicking on a player should return a GUID at the bottom of the page.
6. Launch game and confirm PB off status.

or

Option 3 (the only one that works for us)
1. Reboot the box via your gsp admin panel with PB off then close the your gsp admin panel (your done here)
2. Launch Procon and log into server rcon
3. Goto server settings and select pb on
4. count to 10
5. select pb off
6 goto the player tab and if it went well you should see country flags and clicking on a player should return a GUID at the bottom of the page.
7. Launch game and confirm PB off status.


NOTE: All 3 methods return a PB off status to the master lists whilst actually running PB, the server will continue to stream to which ever repository you are currently streaming to (if you are)

Options 2 worked for me thanks! Server now full again in less than 5 minutes!
 
Hi anyone managed to get any of the bc2 admin tools running, either under linux or via WINE etc?

Linux/unix servers I got, Windows boxes I don't.

Cheers, Paul.
 
Is there some secret to getting servers populated?

I heard that once there are 6 people then the server will be able to take players from the 'play now' feature. is this true?
My servers were totally packed for a few weeks after launch then it just died... i get all my members on there and still nothing, very strange.

I run PB on with PsB streaming.
Any info you can pass to me?
Thanks.
 
Hi All,

I could also do with a little help getting my sparkly new server populated - I think the odds are stacked against us - 12k servers for 80k peak players!

If some folks could come along and join in at some point, it would be much appreciated! Steam ID and BC2 nick are both Xexr btw. Server details below:



Thanks all!

Just noticed this - I would also appreciate any info on the above, would rather leave the admin program running on my dedi box than my pc...
