| PunkBuster Client
Side Settings Use: Command [value] |
||
| Command | Value | Descrition |
| PB_LogAddr | [Address / Internet Hostname] | Hold sthe address of the machine to which remote logging is sent (default is empty "", meaning disabled). |
| PB_LogPort | [port_number] | Holds the listen port of the machine to which remote logging is sent (default is 0, meaning disabled) |
| PB_LogPw | [password] | Holds the password required to send logging output to a listening remote logging machine. |
| PB_LogToFile | [0=no, 1=yes] | When set to 1, PunkBuster will log activity to the pbcl.cfg file. (default is 0, no logging) |
| PB_LogUser | [username] | Holds the username required to send logging output to a remote logging machine. |
| PB_MsgPrefix | [new_prefix] | Holds the text that PunkBuster displays in front of every output line displayed. The default is "^5PunkBuster Client" (note: the ^5 means output the color Ligh Blue). All PunkBuster Server output goes to both the top of the playing screen and to the console by default. To prevent PunkBuster Client messages from being displayed on the playing screen, insert the text [skipnotify] before any desired message prefix test. For exaple, the command pb_msgprefix [skipnotify] ^5PunkBuster Client will cause all PunkBuster Client output to go only to the console and not to the playing screen. |
| PB_Security | [0=no, 1=yes] | When set to 0, PunkBuster will accept all "update" files without veryfying that they are authentic. The default is 1, which should not be changed except fot LAN environments whrere there is no internet access and you fully trust the servers you are conencting to. |
| PB_Sleep | [period] | Holds the period of time (milliseconds) that PunkBuster "sleeps" between processing cycles. The default is 250 (1/4 of a second). Lower numbers will cause PunkBUster to process more times a second which also has the effect of increasing the bandwidth used by PunkBuster. Playres with a modem connection will probably want to set this a high as possible. |
| PB_SsLog | [0=no, 1=yes] | When set to 1 (which is default), PunkBuster will create an entry in the pbsslog.htm log file every time a PunkBuster Server requests a screenshot to be taken and delivered. This log file is designed to be viewed with a web browser and contains information about the size of the image, when it was taken, and also a digital signature ot the image itself. |
| PB_SsSave | [0=no, 1=yes] | When set to 1 (0 is the default), PunkBuster will save all Server-requested Screenshots to the local hard drive so that Players can see the actual screenshots that have been delivered to Game Servers that they were connected to. If this setting and the pb-sslog setting are both set to 1, the the psslog.htm log file will automatically have links created for local viewing directly from the log file. |
