From PunksBusted

Jump to: navigation, search

Below is a tutorial to explain how to use the Auto-MBL When you cannot FTP Access your GameServer - or Install it onto the Game Server itself

- NOTE: Most people have FTP Access to their Game Servers - but in some occasions when they try to use the FTP in the Auto-MBL Software it gives them ERRORS and Dont Work

So I use Auto-MBL a Different Way

[edit]

Configuring Auto-MBL

  1. Install the Auto-MBL GUI Version - so you can use it on your PC and Setup servers etc...
  2. Create a Folder on your PC Somewhere for Storing the Files for your Server (Example: c:\Server_AutoMBL)
  3. Open Auto-MBL -- Goto Configuration -- Settings -- --=-Settings Screen-=-- Enter your Clan Number & Password in their fields
  4. On the Same Window Click ADD
  5. --=-Server Properties-=-- Screen- In this Window - Fill out Server Name -- Choose your Game from the Menu -- Tick the Local File Copy Box -- Browse to your Folder (Example c:\Server_AutoMBL) -- Click Test Remote FTP/Local File Settings -- It will come up saying something like "Server Ban List NOT FOUND! These Settings Appear to be wrong. Please correct the File Location and try again."

IGNORE THAT ERROR

Click OK on the Error - Then Click OK Again on the Server Properties Screen - Click OK Again on the Settings Screen

You will now be sitting at the Main Screen of the Auto-MBL Program

Thats it You have setup the Main part of Auto-MBL without needing the program to FTP to your Server OR running MBL on your Server itself

Next we I will show you how to Get the Up to Date Ban List, MD5 Checksums, And to Configure the files for Streaming


[edit]

Configure Streaming Settings

  1. In Auto-MBL Click Configuration
  2. Click Configure Streaming
  3. Choose your Server from the Pull Down List
  4. Click GO

After Clicking GO it will Pop up a Window saying "Your pbsv.cfg is empty. Are you sure you want to Continue?" Click YES - It will then Say "The edit and upload of pbsv.cfg worked."

Click OK on this Window It will then say "The generation and upload of pbsvlog.cfg worked. you must now restart your PB Server for the changes to take effect"

Click OK on this window NOTE: Even though these windows keep saying upload worked, etc.. They are not Actually Uploading anything to your Server - They are Saving all the Files to your folder that you assigned to the server (Example c:\Server_AutoMBL)

Now you can Click Close on the Window you are at now

Your Files for Streaming are sitting in your folder (example c:\Server_AutoMBL) You will have pbsv.cfg & pbsvlog.cfg in that folder now

The Pbsv.cfg normally has all the PB Settings in it -- however when Auto-MBL Generates it - they are not Included - it only adds the Lines needed to Stream

If you have a pbsv.cfg on your server already - you can copy its contents and paste them into the pbsv.cfg you have in your folder - that way you have a Complete pbsv.cfg INCLUDING the Settings to Stream with the Auto-MBL

The pbsvlog.cfg - Contains the Information on where to Stream your logs etc... -- You will Note that the Line Auto-MBL Adds to your pbsv.cfg is

pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg// Added by Auto-MBL

- Thats where pbsv.cfg calls the file pbsvlog.cfg -- you can see they work as a Chain - pbsv.cfg - opens up pbsvlog.cfg - so togather the PB Software knows to Stream logs & where to stream the logs

- Those are your Streaming Settings -

How to Get the MD5 Tool Checksums

  1. In Auto-MBL Click Configuration
  2. Click Update MD5 Tool File Checking...
  3. Choose your server from the List
  4. Click Update - Notice in the Window it will display how many Checksums it Downloaded - and a Message saying you must restart punkbuster etc... (Ignore that messagel)
  5. Click Close

- Now in your Folder you will have pbsvuser.cfg -- This is the File that lists all the MD5 Checksums Now Im not sure if you have to do this - but i do it anyways Open up pbsv.cfg - and Add the Line

pb_sv_load pbsvuser.cfg //MD5 Tool Checksums

- This way your sure that PB knows to Load the Checksums as well as the Streaming Settings


[edit]

How to Get all the Bans from the Auto-MBL

  1. In the Main Auto-MBL Window (u wont beleive how easy this part is)

Click 

Update Ban Lists Now

-- It will show it Downloading all the Bans etc... & Now in your Folder you have pbbans.dat

Now - Open up your pbsv.cfg & add the line

pb_sv_banload

Save & Close it

Goto the Next Step now


[edit]

How to Get all this on server and running


Ok - use the list below to Verify you have all the Files

you should have

pbsv.cfg - which should now have these 2 lines in it along with all your normal PB Settings 

pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg  // Added by Auto-MBL
pb_sv_load pbsvuser.cfg //MD5 Tool Checksums
pb_sv_banload //Loads your pbbans.dat

& you should have

pbsvlog.cfg - this contains the settings that tell PB Where to Send Logs pbsvuser.cfg - this contains the MD5 Tool Checksums pbbans.dat - this contains all the Bans from the Auto-MBL

Once you are sure you have all the Files - Continue

[edit]

Uploading

Now if you have Read this Tutorial it means that Auto-MBL couldnt FTP to your server & that you couldnt Run Auto-MBL on your actual Server

So using your Server Control Panel's File Manager OR any FTP Program you have that you can use

Upload all the Files to your Games PB Directory

Restart your Server - and PRESTO you have all your Auto-MBL Files up and running

- The Tutorial is Long - but Trust me its EXTREMELY EASY
