Only procon account holders can use the plugin

So its impossible for you to make these changes? Like that we had option to choose for "all" or "account holders".

Thats how u shouldnt always go through 500 of them.

But if theres no point in ur opinion, nvm then.

+1 !!! my opinion. When players can request the screens manualy on their own - you would have to check much less pictures a day.

 

Thanx for the plugin so far!! like it.

About

 

Simple plugin that allows you to get punkbuster screenshots of either a player, or the entire server while ingame.

 

How to use

 

Use one of the following prefixes: ! @ # / Followed by the screenshot command, which is ss by default

 

There are two methods of use:

1) Entire server

@ss

 

2) Individual player

@ss Zaeed_au

 

Installation

Extract the ZIP file.

 

Place the .inc file into the Plugins folder, and the .cs files into

i.e. maintain folder structure included in the ZIP

 

Punkbuster screenshots will be found on the game server, in the punkbuster directory. Unfortunately I can't change that.

 

Thanks

Thanks to Phil for a bit of odd bug fixing.

What do you mean files? There is only 1 cs file in the BF3 folder... I can't get this to work, it's not working.

Add in the lack of using a plugin and having an account, to use chat in game to perform PROCon plugin actions.

 

This is a nice plugin man Thanks.

 

Going to go and test it out here shortly if it is working for some here I am sure I will have no problems getting it going.

 

Black Screen shots can happen on any player on the server at any time. Some of my PBSS are black and some are of the center of my game screen, due to our default PBSS settings in pb_sv.cfg. Same goes for many of the regulars on our server some PBSS are black and some are accurate SS.

 

AutoSS is the way to go though using a high ceiling allows you to go thru and check a day or two back, depending on your traffic, and see if you had someone on that needs to be reported. There are many ways to go about accessing the PBSS, but that is more of an Evenbalance or PBBans question not a PROCon question.

 

As far as NFO I have never had an instance where I could not access my PBSS folder thru FTP. Had BC2 servers and now BF3 servers always had FTP access to them.

Like 'No such player' ?

Theres no .inc file in my procon for this.

Try to install it manually to /plugins/BF3/ folder.

With out the .inc file the plugin was not showing up in my list of available plugins. As soon as I uploaded via FTP the .zip contents to my layer server, restarted procon again then the plugin was available.

 

Didnt think I was really going to have to explain it all, but I guess I did anyway.

Download and extract the .zip file and up load the .inc file to the "plugins" folder. You will find all the layer .inc files there.
