can anyone tell me how to take a punkbuster screenshot of a player and put it onto your computer?  I need to know for a few reasons, but its mostly because i don't know how to tell people to take a pb screenshot of my clan when they accuse us of hacking...

but partially just because i want to know

thanks in advance!

umm you cant actually take a screenshot of another player using pb as the screenshots are taken on an interval of 20 seconds (providing u aint changed the pb_sleep time)

those shots are then sent to evenbalence which are checked then sent to the server host

this process can take like up to 10 days to complete.

this is the procedure i know of as i asked a friend of mine who owns his own server

Sorry to say that, but this is completely wrong.

pb_sleep has nothing to do with screenshots on server- or clientside. If you want to let the server take screenshots automatically you have to configure the punkbuster server with "pb_sv_autoss 1".

Screenshots on servers are usually not taken every 20 seconds, rather every 180-240 seconds minimum and 1200 seconds maximum. But this is up to the admin of the gameservers and the player itself cant do anything legal against this.

Punkbuster screenshots arent sent automatically to Punksbusted.com you rather have to do that by yourself if there is something suspicious on a screenshot and then admins are going to decide if there's a program used that shouldn' be used.

@ Blehm98

Just read the link i provided in my first posting and scroll down almost to the botton, there are the informations regarding screenshots doing from the client or server.

Further, if you admin a server, you should have access to the Punkbuster web utility (ask your provider if you don't have a clue what I mean).

With the utility you have full control over screeners, bans, etc. through html interface.

You can also take screenshots on demand by using the console command "getSS", but this requires your to be a registered in game admin for that server as well as entering the player's "list" number with the getss command.. the web utility is way easier.

i'm guessing you mean their pb_plist number?

and thanks for that too, i believe we're switching servers soon so we can ask about this punkbuster web utility then

yes, you are correct.  There was a link in an earlier post to the PB guide@ evenbalance, you should read it carefully.   Allthough it's not possible for everyone, I use dual monitors, so i have BF2cc, PBUtility, and vent status open on mysecond monitor so I can view it in RT and simply alt-tab out to perform admin duty.

I remember for call of duty there was a command "pb_sv_getss #" where # was their plist number. I'm not too good with bf2 commands but I'm sure they kept it around. It saves the screenshot into the pb folder on your servers' ftp. So go look through that.

As a server, admin you can take screen shots on demand, but taking screen shots repeatedly would cause lag. I don't think you should waste resources and lag everyone to simply prove to a few people.
