How to update Punk buster on your linux server….

Martes, 27 de Octubre de 2009

Punk buster not always updates itself on linux and that can be a pain in the rear end. After much struggle i managed to work it out and thought of sharing it.

- Download the pbsetup.run file to a newly created folder in your linux box (ex: pbsetup) from www.evenbalance.com

- Once downloaded you may have to chmod it to make it executable
chmod +X pbsetup.run

- Run pbsetup using the following command to display a list of available games game prefixes
./pbsetup.run –i-accept-the-pb-eula -la

- To add a game use this command
./pbsetup.run –i-accept-the-pb-eula -ag -ap “/server/path/”

(Example: “./pbsetup.run –i-accept-the-pb-eula -ag bf2 -ap “/home/bf2/” )

- Repeat the above step to all all games you wish to update

- Now issue the command to update all the games you have added.
./pbsetup.run –i-accept-the-pb-eula -u

- Once all your servers updated go to the console and issue the command:
pb_restart

To find the server path you can issue the command to your server from the console.
pb_sv_homepath

It will return the path including the PB folder (ex “/home/cod4srv/pb”) Omit the pb/ part of the result when adding games to pbsetup.

Also please keep in mind that PBSETUP is a linux x86 Application thus in order to run it on a linux X64 machine you need to install some backwards compatibility libraries (ia32-libs in debian for example)
