Why are some .inc files in the BF3 directory upon initial install of Procon, e.g. ingame admin, spambot? So when adding a 3rd party plugin, you always put the .inc file in plugins and the .cs in BF3 or appropriate game dir?

I have 3 issues with it:

 

1.the screenshot only show a small portion of the screen... it it normal (something like 300x400px in the center of the screen)

 

2. half the screenshots show only black

 

3. I typed /ss and it took a tremendous amount of screenshots, is it normal.. Like it didn't stop for 2-3 mins, I ended up with probably a thousand screenshots...

 

*4. I tried again with the name of only one player, and ended up wither another thousand or 2. Also ended up with player that were not actually on the server.*

 

thanks

Related to the screenshots dimension, this is based on your settings for PB.

You can adjust the pb related settings by sending the commands at your own or via your GSPs panel.

 

Keep in mind that a pb screenshot can not have more than 82,000 pixel (width x high).

So if you use for example:

Code:

pb_sv_SsWidth 800
pb_sv_SsHeight 408
pb_sv_SsXpct 50
pb_sv_SsYpct 50
pb_sv_SsRate 2
you will get an stretched up 400x204 image expanded to 800x408.

Ok thx,

 

Also I think I found info on the other issues,

 

The black screenshots is a punkbuster related issue.

 

The multiple screenshot Is probably related to the fact I have a screenshot option enabled on my game server's panel, I think it mush take a screenshot every 5 minutes of all players.

black screenshots have been around since bf2 days, its to do with directx and other factors that evenbalance are too lazy to fix.

 

As for the multiple screenshots, you probably don't need this tool if your server is taking them every 5 minutes.

 

I'd be cautious though, in the past that caused quite a lot of server lag. Not sure if it does in BF3, but if you're experiencing lag, that might be the first place to look

Thats a punkbuster problem. PB still returns many black screenshots, especially with DX10/11 enabled.

If its possible then there should be some limitation to how many requests per round player can use, like 2 or 3.

As for spamming it, punkbuster takes care of that, and won't let you
