i just have to go deeper in our server files because the owner has a AAmod on the 2.8 server where you shot weird things out of the guns . I just launched the mod instead of game and it launched window so i have it narrowed down to the mod being the cause now i jsut have to figure out why . because yeah like you said no one messes with 2.8 anymore. thanks for help and you guys can do what you want with this topic . its complete / done

yeah weird thing tho is it only does it with 25 assist . proving grounds dont do it nor does any of our other servers we start up . Just aa 2.5

I know PB screens shots are not need due to hackers use things to block it . But our members and players that go to our site want to see them . So i was wondering where do i start on getting PB SS to work on server and then how to get the to work with our website? Seeing myself and grizz are only one to work on our servers which we have about 20 for all different games . Its hard to work on every server ourself and find answers to all our questions . So a detailed reply would help greatly.

Need to know what folders i need in pb? , files need for pb ss to work? , files to edit to get pb SS to work? , What to put in those files for it to work? , How ro what to put in our website ?

I have cpanel and file access to website so if i need to create a directory off our site like SS or something let me know , and what files or so forth need to be in there . How to get server to connect to website so forth.

Please and thank you

This is all taken care of . Thanks everyone for the help but i did some help to help grizz out and i found this topic http://aao25.com/forum/general-chat-90/server-messeseg-question/

I guess he was told he had to have the file named ServerMessage.cfg But i changed out files back to serverrules.cfg and also added file called pbsvuser.cfg . I did what the link above said and ran it as is for a test and it worked the rules scrolled in the left side. So then i added our rules in for grizz on the server and they scroll perfectly fine so if anyone else has an issue like we are just try reading this topic http://aao25.com/forum/general-chat-90/server-messeseg-question/ and go to post 9th one down by Ru$tY. . It works .

on grizz's behalf here is a link to download the map file instead of going into our teamspeak OBT.aao Download

i guess we are the only ones with this problem seeing its so hard to fix lol

Me and Grizz are having little trouble with our server . He got me up to par with the issue a little bit . Before that latest update the server would run fine and load our scrolling messages that we have set in our ServerRules.cfg . After the update we got this error Ill post a little bit of it since its really huge
Comes up in game saying waiting for PB update punkbuster through even balance and you can only look around not join a side.

====== ASSIST SERVER MANAGER - Server Terminated ======
Now when Grizz re-installed Punkbuster the server starts fine loads fine and when you jump into the server you can join a side so forth and play . But we dont have our rules and some other pb files . We are trying to figure out how to go about get latest pb installed on our server  with scrolling rules and not give us the error we are seeing above.

We have also tried installing punkbuster using pbsvc.exe but the thing is it dont have aa assist or Americas army 2 in the drop down menu all it has is Americas army 3 and Americas army proving grounds. When we try to just load it from file path it stills tells us to select game from drop down list . So that was out of the question.

In our pblc.cfg we have this
;Auto Generated by PunkBuster Client
pb_MsgPrefix "25Assist PB Client" //[PB Message Prefix]
pb_Sleep 500 //[# of Milliseconds (default=250)]
pb_LogToFile 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)]
pb_SsLog 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=1)]
pb_SsSave 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)]
pb_SsOptions 640 480 50 50 1 //- Set local PB screenshot options

So im wondering if maybe something would have to be set in here for us to allow or do server messages scrolling in the chat? Like a command pb_sv_load ServerMessage.cfg or pb_sv_load ServerRules.cfg .

I havent messed with aa in awhile so im little stumped on why just adding pbsvuser.cfg and ServerRules.cfg would cause our server to say that pb is messed up. If you need any other information from us just post here or message either Grizz (http://aao25.com/profile/?u=509) or myself.

Well if its like 2.8 little then i think you have to have 4 or more in the server and play for at least few minutes for it to show on battletracker. But lets say i can , then it will count points? no need to go out and buy a dedicated server if my computer can handle 20 people or so?
