it's for server admins...

PB_SV_AutoSs 1 <-- server automatically takes screenshots

more notably PB_SV_GetSs [player_name_or_slot#] which is used to screenshot a certain player


It causes minor lag for clients, you can adjust your pb_sleep time to 500 to minimize lag.
To do this clientside: pb_sleep 500
                              pb_writecfg

I generally use PB_SsLog 1 and PB_SsSave 1 as well which logs when servers request a screenshot.

Server admins can also edit settings to change size and where the screenshot is focused when it is taken.


but like what kontrolkrimson said some hacks do black out the screenshot. ones that attempt to completely get around this function get banned.

cheating at a videogame is really pathedic.

i cheat....................................................on single player.

But, that gives me an idea, would i be able to download some of them old free hacks that have been deteced by PB and use them in SINGLE PLAYER only? Or would that still PB ban me? I reckon it would be fun to aimbot against pc's lol.

*******i would never cheat in an online game**********

disconnect from the net just incase.
but no, unless PB is running they wont be picked up.

We are going to play around with some at a lan, see who can out hax each other, should be a great bunch of laughs.

I've considered playing around with cheats in single player. I might just go do that now, just to see what bf2 hacks are like. And to rename all the bots to chuck norris, and then I can say I aimbotted chuck norris, woot.

But no, I would never use them in an online game. People that do are right dodgy twats

Hehe, dodgy twats. I love that phrase. It was used repeatedly after I killed a guy with splash damage.

"Yo a righ dodgy twat you noe tha!"

Ah the screenshots are classic...

/flashback

messing around offline, is nothing like using them in, well this case, in compeditive gameplay.

Warning! Don't Download Cheats

The policy at PunksBusted along with many server administrators is a zero tolerance for cheats on your computer.
If our checks find cheat programs or associated files you will be banned by the AMBL. It doesn't matter if you claim you were not using them at the time.

Here it is in simple understandable language. It is not your place to download or test cheats... That is EvenBalance's job... PERIOD.

Some cheats are so buried in your file system, you will find it difficult to remove all traces of them. We know where a lot of them are located and we do actively check for them. Saying you don't use them in online gaming or that you thought you had cleaned them out, will no get you removed from the AMBL system. The gaming communities are no longer tolerant of any cheat found on your computer. Keep cheats off of your computer!

Added note, that history has proven correct:

Some cheats may contain hidden trojans or viruses. The most common are trojans that allow the author to gain information from your computer. These could be cd-key stealers, keyloggers, or much, much worse.

Your simple antivirus software such as Norton or McaFee will not protect you from these types of specially built trojans. They are created specifically for that game cheat and are not widely spread outside of gaming. Just as cheats try and hide from PB so do these trojans try and hide from antivirus software. Antivirus software companies don't go out of their way to develop countermeasures to these small scale trojans that affect a few hundred people.

Using a decompiler to check a cheat is often not an effective way to check for trojans in a cheat. It is very easy to fool these decompilers so the trojan code will not be exposed.

Your firewall will not protect you either. The trojan can easily use ports you have left open for things like your web browser, icq, ftp, mail etc. Some trojans will only activate when your browser or other program is open. They do this to help hide their outgoing activity.

Cheat writers need a supply of cd-keys to test their cheat development against PunkBuster and to get cd-keys for the games and programs they may not legitimately own. Don't help them get a fresh supply and risk yourself getting banned
in the process. Why would anyone trust some unknown punk hiding his identity on the internet that writes cheats.
Who else is he cheating? The cheaters most likely.
