And you can right-click on a playername in the Procon playerlist to request a screenshot... (in case you did not know that)

relevant? yes, blocking pbss in bf4 is just as simple as in bf3. so there will be (are already) pbss blockers.

 

i have not yet ported it to bf4, but changes should be very small.

it might just work the way it is, but i have not tested it with bf4.

 

user of this plugin should wait just a bit more until i release an updated version compatible with both bf3 and bf4.

however if you are brave go test it out and post your results here :-)

Nope it does not. This plugin checks the punkbuster info to see if requested screenshots are returned.

I use PBScreens to double check if banned players indeed did not produce any PBSS.

 

Also a reminder: Not all (automatically) banned players are cheaters, sometimes it's just Punkbuster not getting the screenshots for whatever reasons.

 

You will see false positives with this plugin.

thanks! Just curious that they can actually block pbss, couldn't find any pbss on 1 or 2 banned players when i wanted to verify the bans.

No, it did not in BF3.

actually its a comon task for cheaters using visual cheats like esp wallhacks, radars and such. it can be done with about 10 lines of c++ code

 

as stated in the plugin description and by ebassie this plugin will enforce punkbuster screenshots the following way:

for every 4 screenshots requested, the player needs to return 1 successful screenshot taken (can also be blank, no way to check that)

 

so if you enable this plugin all players not returning at least 1 screenshot (with in the 4 requested) will be kicked or banned (according to your settings). the plugin does not care (it also cant detect) why the screenshots failed

most likely CD, but the changes needed for PBSSE could minimal.

Hey Griz,

 

I will brave it out.

I am adding it to my BF4 servers this afternoon and will have results by this evening or tomorrow morning.

hmmm never seen this error. i never tried the plugin on a linux layer.

 

maybe these tips help you:

http://www.runuo.com/community/threads/mono-2.96414/

 

apt-get install mono-devel

and compile it with gmcs, NOT with gmcs2

 

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ModMono

quite the same

 

i dont undertstand why this exception is thrown when compiling pbsse.

for example: if you start a new process

 

process p = new process()

 

you can redirect the stdin and stdout, but i dont start new processes anywhere

this has got to be a mono (or pbsse on linux) issue for what i see.

 

are you running other plugins fine? where the links above useful?

i would recommend to also seek help here: showthread....ith-Linux-mono*

 

generally my plugins are for windows and tested only on windows systems (win7 64 and server 2012)

i cant provide linux support im sorry

 

regarding the bf4 support you mentioned:

be brave and test the plugin (when you get it running on linux)

it should work, ran it for several hours, everathing seems fine.

 

one thing i didnt test yet is tablet users (commander). have to see what happens there

Tablet commanders have no PBGUID, so there will be no automated screenshots and thus this plugin will ignore it (probably)

 

FYI: I've been running this plugin on my BF4 servers for weeks now without issues. In all these weeks I only encountered 2 players without PBSS. But so far it seems to work.

So far so good.

Using Newest Procon and multiple plugins alongside this one

I have not encountered a failed SS event so cant tell yet if the Tban will work...

 

Updates as it goes

I'm using gmcs and mono-devel is also installed.

All other plugins running well (e.g. ProconRulz, UltimatMapManager, MultiBalancer, Latency Manager, etc.)

 

I have tried your Plugin TrueBalancer and this runs also well.

no you should be fine with the defaults, which are the recommended settings unless you want to ban longer or dont ban at all (just notify)

yes

enabling both will ensure the plugins whitelist is synced with procons whitelist (adding AND removing players)
