Exact PB ScreenShot Syntax

[RexKramer]

Ok ive tried all sorts of version of this in the Rcon box but always get invalid Augment, I want single player screen shot. I can get a shot of every player but not one:
punkBuster.pb_sv_command pb_sv_getss "PlayerName"

Thanks

If you want to go that route, you'd probably have to do:

Code: Select all

punkBuster.pb_sv_command "pb_sv_getss Playername"

But I would recommend going with the simpler version:

Code: Select all

!pb pb_sv_getss Playername

curious, if you are renting a game server, where do the SS' get stored when you request them?

[RexKramer]

THanks for the quick response, Issued the command logs say it accepted it but has yet to show up in my pb/ folder

how long does it take?

Thanks again

I am not 100% sure but it should show up in the PB folder asap.

You can find them in the pb/svss/ folder.

[RexKramer]

In my File Manager I only have the following for PB:
pb/pbsvlog.cfg
pb/sv_viol.log
pb/svlogs/00000018.log ( I downloaded and deleted the other 17)

I had created the pb_sv_writecfg file but it generated so much crap I deleted it since it wasnt there before. and was able to nab a full 24slot screenshots which i also downloaded... they where published under the pb_svlogs folder

Thanks for the nooob help

Do you have screenshots turned on?

pb_sv_AutoSs 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)]

[RexKramer]

Yes its on, weird though, !pb pb_sv_getss WILL give me a full player list screenshot on the pb/svss on the FTP site but !pb pb_sv_getss PlayerName prints nothing, server msg is:

Command from rcon tool: !pb pb_sv_getss Dog-Plane
Admin daemon responded: Your command has been sent to PB.
admin.listPlayers all
Admin daemon responded: Result of your command: OK
punkBuster.pb_sv_command pb_sv_getss Dog-Plane
PunkBuster Server: 0 Screenshots Requested

But like I say when I leave the player name off, it will cap and save all players?

thanks again!

hey I DO NOT have the AUTO feature running that fills up way to fast... I just want "snapshots" when I see someone going like 20-0 just to make sure player is legit

[.=QUACK=.Major.Pain]

We run ours all the time.
Doesn't create any lag.

Rex make sure you do it like this

!pb "pb_sv_getss playername"

WITH quotes.

Edit - well i just tried without quotes and it works fine that way too? hmm

[TimeX]

I have heard others getting it to work without a specific player name being set, but not with the player name. I am not sure if player specific screenshots are working in the BF3 version of Punkbuster yet.

There is the Possibility that it could be a spelling error.
You can also request by slot number. issue a pb_sv_plist command
get their slot number and issue pv_sv_getss "slot number"
do not use the quotes
