Server Rules in Chat

[Tibbetts]

Some don't appear to be working. I've added seven rules - one to each line so they wouldn't be to long, but 2-3 don't work. I've checked and they look like all the others. On our previous server with another company, they worked like a charm, but this one won't seem to post all of them in the chat.

Here are the rules as I have them in the PB/PBSVUSER.CFG file I added to the server:

pb_sv_task 10 800 admin.say "NO HACKING/CHEATING OF ANY KIND!" all
pb_sv_task 20 810 admin.say "If you are suspected, you will be kicked/banned!" all
pb_sv_task 30 820 admin.say "All WEAPONS/TANKS may be used!" all
pb_sv_task 40 830 admin.say "No calling anyone NOOB! it's annoying as fuck and you will be kicked!" all
pb_sv_task 50 840 admin.say "No RACIST/DEROGATORY comments. PERIOD. Or you will be kicked/banned!" all
pv_sv_task 60 850 admin.say "You may be kicked to make room for a [DSK] member!" all
pv_sv_task 70 860 admin.say "Please register at our site: DSK.SITE.NFOSERVERS.COM!" all

That's what I have, and it should work, but it won't.

Any ideas?

There's nothing that we could do on our end to partially break PB's timed events, so you don't have to worry about this being host-specific .

What shows when you enter "punkBuster.pb_sv_command PB_SV_TList" through rcon? Does it show all of the tasks that you have defined?

It looks like you set your "Y" values to different numbers, which is very unusual, and will result in your messages showing at wacky times. Are you sure that's what you meant to do? The format for pb_sv_task is:

PB_SV_Task X Y command

Where "X" is the time after the server starts to run the command, "Y" is how long to wait before repeating it, and "command" is what to do.

Have you also considered using our admin daemon to show the messages (as this appears to be a BC2 or MoH server)?

Here is what is shows:

I know that X is after the server starts and Y is repeat. I have it set so that is starts within 10 seconds and repeats after 800 seconds. It worked on the gameserver I had prior to this, but this one misses 3 of them. Kinda weird. lol..

And our server is a BC2 server. And I'm not really sure how to do the Admin Daemon thing. Never used one before. Didn't figure I needed to learn as the Task List for PB worked well last time.

Here is what is shows:

These have different values than the ones you gave. Are they being defined in a different file, such as in pbsv.cfg, maybe?

I don't see the rules anywhere in there. Are they supposed to be? I created a pb/pbsvuser.cfg file for that purpose, as that is what I had to do for the last server I had.

You have them repeating after 810 seconds, 820 seconds, etc. You should change your "Y" values to 800 if you want them to repeat after 800.

810 seconds after they first show up is fine. Doesn't matter so long as it is repeated some time after 800 seconds.

Something is different about the way you have this one configured. We just need to find where that difference is.

True. Hopefully the above I copied over from the server pbsv.cfg file will help you.

It's just another option for you. You can find it on the "Easy setup" page.

I'd prefer to use the pbsvuser.cfg file. It allows us to space the repeats longer than what is offered in the Daemon.

Please submit a support request and I can look at your server directly.

[Tibbetts]

Done.

This is happening because of a typo; you wrote "pv_sv_task" instead of "pb_sv_task" for the last two lines.

pv_sv_task 60 850 admin.say "You may be kicked to make room for a [DSK] member!" all
pv_sv_task 70 860 admin.say "Please register at our site: DSK.SITE.NFOSERVERS.COM!" all

[Tibbetts]

LOL! Oops... Now I feel like an idiot. Thanks for catching that.
