PB Server Command

PB_SV_File [File] [O/S] [GameVer] [Size] [MD5] {... [MD5]}

Adds a client MD5 file hash check to the list of file checks on a PB-enabled server. All of these file checks are executed when the player joins the server, and the MD5 hashes that are used are standard MD5 hashes that cover the entire length of the file (which is different than the behavior of the MD5Tool).

Files that may be checked using this method must end with the file extension .u or .dll. The files, in general, must also be in the game's system directory (the directory where the game's core files are stored) but this requirement may vary by game.

Parameters

[File] - The name of the file to be checked, relative to the game's system directory (the directory where the game's core files are stored). Adding checks in other directories is generally unsupported. The restriction on the permitted locations of these checks may vary by game.
[O/S] - The client Operating System for which the file check will be executed for. Acceptable values:
- A - All operating systems.
- W - Windows operating system.
- L - Linux operating system.
- M - Mac operating system.
[GameVer] - The version of the game which the file check will be executed for. This value must not be empty.
[Size] - The expected total size of the file in bytes, numbers only (no commas).
[MD5] - The expected MD5 file hash result for the check, using the standard MD5 hash algorithm. Additional acceptable hash results can optionally be included by separating each value with a space.
