How to scroll adverts/auto messages in BF3 with PB

[Lith]

The daemon NFO supplies is basically enough for everything. The only problem I have is that the intervals are in increments of 5 for the auto messages. So no matter what, you'll get double messaging at some point if you're using more than one message. I found out how to use punkbuster in BF3 to do automatic messages. It's basically similar to BF:BC2.

- Create a file called pbsv.cfg in your pb/ folder using the file manager in your control panel.

- Input the following as a demo:
;pb_sv_task X Y admin.say "MESSAGE HERE" all
;X= Number of seconds after server start to say message
;Y= Number of seconds before repeating this message

pb_sv_task 120 600 admin.say "Message 1" all
pb_sv_task 180 600 admin.say "Message 2" all
pb_sv_task 240 600 admin.say "Message 3" all
pb_sv_task 300 600 admin.say "Message 4" all
pb_sv_task 420 600 admin.say "Message 5" all

- In the file manager, add this line to your Admin/startup.txt

exec pbsv.cfg

Enjoy!

PS: I believe what's listed as the demo data is 5-6m intervals.

Could a mod please move this to the knowledge base for BF3 please? Thanks!

Also here's a link that better explains the formula to use when calculating timing with the auto messaging: http://www.punksbusted.com/wiki/index.p ... d_Messages

I'm not sure where would be a good place to put that, since the same acutally applies to Punkbuster on all Punkbuster enabled games. We just may have to make a new section just for Punkbuster.

Okay. It may be somewhere on these forums. However I searched and couldn't find. Might be easy if it's at least put in BF3 area for now since it's the "new game on the block".

I've also made posts on pb_sv_task in these forums myself that were helpful, including ones related to the times, I believe. The search function isn't useful for finding them, so I'll have to spend some time later to research them.
