Re: punkbuster screenshots

yea, i can use my bf2cc but its a pain in the arse having to minimize and open it up and then sometimes it crashes. Anway what i was meaning was that in some servers in see the admins do this , they type

!k killer teamkilling

And then the player gets kicked but ive tried that and it doesnt work, do you have to enable it? or what?

Re: punkbuster screenshots

Sign up to the server owners lounge all the info is on there regarding PB SS's and BF2CC usage as well and if you have a problem myself or 1 of the other server owners will be quick to help.

Re: punkbuster screenshots

So it would be something like

PB_SV_GetSs ["player_name"]

PB_SV_GetSs ["player_name"]

No that's the server command. pb_getss But I think you can only take PB SS's of yourself I don't think as a player you can take them of other players.

PunkBuster also allows players to take their own local screenshots in addition to the screenshot-taking ability built into the game itself. For players who want to only save images of a portion of the game screen, the PunkBuster option may be more desirable. To take a PunkBuster screenshot of your own screen, first use the PB_SSOPTIONS command to set the parameters for subsequent screenshots. Type "PB_SSOPTIONS" alone to view the current parameters: Width, Height, X-component, Y-component, and the Sample Rate. The defaults are 640, 480, 50, 50, and 1 respectively. The width and height represent the size and shape of the rectangular area on your screen that you wish to capture. If either of these are set beyond the resolution of your game playing screen, then the actual screen dimension will be used. The X and Y components are measured in percentages and specify how far across (X) and down (Y) the center of the captured rectangle should be from the upper-left corner. The defaults of 50 and 50 specify the center of the screen. If, for example, you decide to use X=25 and Y=75, then the captured image would come from the lower left region of your playing screen. The Sample Rate parameter can be either 1, 2 or 4. Setting Sample Rate to 2 means that only every second pixel will be captured and setting it to 4 means every fourth pixel will be captured. Using a higher number for Sample Rate will allow you to get larger screenshot images into smaller files but the sharpness of the resulting images will suffer accordingly. The best way to become comfortable with the parameters and the effects from changing them is to experiment. To actually take a screenshot using the parameters currently in effect, use the "PB_GETSS" command. This can be bound to a key-press for convenience. For example, to bind PB_GETSS to the 'P' key, press the tilde (~) key to bring down the game console and type "bind p pb_getss" followed by the Tab key and then the Enter key to issue the Bind command. Then while you are playing and you wish to capture an image, press the 'P' key and the image will be saved. Each time PunkBuster takes a local screenshot, you should see a message at the top of the screen (and also in the Game Console) that displays the image filename on your hard drive.

Re: punkbuster screenshots

you have confused me now. So why did that other guy tell me to do that.

Re: punkbuster screenshots

He was taking that from the PB admins section on evenbalance not the player section. pb_sv_getss is a server only command that admins can do, players can't.

I guess you can only take your own PB SS as a player maybe to stop you cheating by seeing waht another player sees, hence finiding their location. Never tried taking one as a player before.
