No probs man. If you want to have a look at what the PB SS's look like this thread has some in there with a guy we caught recently. The TS convo/vid is good for a laugh too and includes more PB SS's than in that thread.

OK done most of the commands - but am only seeing a little potion of the players screen -
it says attempted 800x410 sampe rate1 result in 388x196
which is a very small potion and I cant see very much at all
Moves x and y to 90 and 10 and sample rate still1 - but hw to get a bigger ss? do i just increase the
PB_SV_SSWIDTH 800
PB_SV_SSHEIGHT 410
commands?

You can't get the whole screen, unfortunatey that's how it works. Just keep trying... if nothing works after that, he either has a good PB blocker *which will get him hardware banned if/when PB detects it* or he's simply not hacking. His stats certainly don't cry "hacker!".

OK you got part of it right but you need to change the sample rate from 1 to 2
PB_SV_SSWIDTH 800
PB_SV_SSHEIGHT 410
PB_SV_SSSRATE 2

This is to keep it under the 82,000 pixel limit. Otherwise it will resize it to fit under the 82k pixel limit

If you go higher than 800x410 you need to use a sample rate of 4 however I wouldn't recommend going higher than 800x410 sample rate 2 because when using a sample rate of 4 the pics turn out terrible because it cuts out so many pixels.

You can go as high as 1280x1024. You can take one to see what it looks like if the player uses that screen size it will be full screen however it will look terrible. Test it out on one of your guys who runs at that res. The command would look like this.

PB_SV_SSWIDTH 1280
PB_SV_SSHEIGHT 1024
PB_SV_SSSRATE 4

As I said though I recommend the max to be 800x410.

Yup you got it sorted now!!

OK, we had a definate hacker on our server with aimbot and wall hack at least to his credit.
It took several kills and a determined effort by admins and players to get the proof of his activities, but we did

However PB never picked up on it and there are no screenies made by PB !

Server has latest PB updates installed, so why did he go undetected?

Any sensible ideas or solutions?
Thanks

Maybe he was good and all you guys sucked?

The only other thing you might want to do is to get your server streaming to www.Punksbusted.com (separate 3rd party organisation, not evenbalance aka Punkbuster) That way you get access to their Master Ban List which has over 4000 cheaters/hackers that have been caught. I believe Rackage is one of the GSP who can set that up for you. You might also want to stream to pbbans.com also.

I suggest you setup Battlerecorder (BR)as well. BR is the best way to catch people using an aimbot. You will see their gun jerk around from target to target.

1st step is to go and sign up on those sites, www.punksbusted.com and www.pbbans.com Then apply for a clan ID once you have done that do some reading. If you find its too confusing just ask Rackage if they will setup your server to stream to them, then all you have to do is give Rackage your clan id and password and they should do the rest.

no, the guy in question is http://bf2s.com/player/80657613
he was raising suspision with every shot being a head shot even if target was running and zigzaggin - as server admins all did this. but we had no proof and thought he was just a fooking good shot. Even with his pistol it was one shot kill head shot.

His stats seem to be crap apart from when he plays sniper

However he was in warehouse (Kark 64) INSIDE and ws SVD killing ppl at the gatehouse - he was on the upper level on teh walkway and had no clear shots at all!
This was our concern and what he was banned for.
Unfortunately there are no PB screenies - and that is what my original concern is about - we had to waste a lot of time getting this proof instead of relying on PB to its job.

As for my itnent I dont care about him cheating - he can do what he wants but he wont be doing it on our server again - it just spoils the fun and it was more of a surprise that PB did not catch him and give us the proof everyone longs for

lol....

If he had no clear shot, he wouldn't have made the shot. You can't get a hack that allows you to shoot through walls that you normally can't. Only view the players.

No pb screens? Then I'm not convinced. You can set up your server to take autoscreenshots. The best way to catch a hacker that's spoofing screenshots to block PB is to run a screenshot on him every couple of minutes, and if the same exact screenshot keeps showing up, then you know he's running a blocker. There are other forms of blockers too but they're all similar.

A full black screenshot isn't always a blocker either, it can be a corrupted pb screenshot.
