  RTCW 1.0 PunkBuster
 
Hi there,
It's known RTCW 1.0 got released with no PB support. Some of the RTCW 1.0 community's programers made a project to bring PB from version 1.3 to 1.0.

Well,
They did it. They've brought us the PB to 1.0, we are very happy for it because there's one more thing to stop the cheaters. Also the 1.0 PB servers are streamable to pbans.com, so you can even see the first players, who's got banned by PB.

The project leads:
Travis "S4NDM4NN" Sandmann: The creator of S4NDMoD.
Martin "AG3NT" Crawford: The creater of S4NDMoD.
Eamon "Dutchmeat" ?: Beta tester.

PunkBuster Features
* Real-time scanning of memory, a feature also prominent in many spyware programs, by placing a PunkBuster Client on players' computers searching for known hacks/cheats using a built-in database.
* Throttled two-tiered background auto-update system using multiple Internet Master Servers to provide end-user security ensuring that no false or corrupted updates can be installed on players' computers.
* Frequent status reports (encrypted) are sent to the PunkBuster Server by all players. When necessary, the PunkBuster Server raises a violation which (depending upon settings) will cause the offending player to be removed from the game and all other players to be informed of the violation.
* PunkBuster Admins can also manually remove players from the game for a specified number of minutes or permanently ban if desired.
* PunkBuster Servers can optionally be configured to randomly check player settings looking for known exploits of the game engine.
* PunkBuster Servers can be configured to instruct clients to calculate partial MD5 hashes of files inside the game installation directory. The results are compared against a set configuration and differences logged, and optionally, the client removed from the server.
* PunkBuster Admins can request actual screenshot samples from specific players and/or can configure the PB Server to randomly grab screenshot samples from players during gameplay.
* An optional "bad name" facility is provided so that PunkBuster Admins can prevent players from using offensive player names containing unwanted profanity or racial slurs.
* Search functions are provided for PunkBuster Admins who wish to search player's keybindings and scripts for anything that may be known to exploit the game.
* PunkBuster Admins can stream their server logs in real time to another location. Non-profit organizations like Anti-Cheat Inc., Airdale Ops Network , PunksBusted , PBBans and AASA are examples of groups that use this feature to create shared banlists for their members.

Why use PunkBuster on my 1.0 server
Punkbuster is able to detect all public cheats as of 7/1/2009 that are able to be used on RtCW 1.0. Additional, private cheats that are not yet detected by PunkBuster can be caught using PunkBuster's additional features, such as MD5 checks, cvar checks and screenshots of client's computers.

PunkBuster Installation - Windows server:
* Download the server installer from http://pb.s4ndmod...
* Unzip the files to your desktop.
* Shutdown your game server.
* Using an ftp program, such as [Filezilla], transfer all of the files to your server. You should now have several new folders (pb and s4ndmod) on your server.
* Delete your qagame_mp_x86.dll from /main
* Change the start up configuration (this will be different for every server host, so ask yours if you are not sure) and add "+set fs_game "s4ndmod" +set sv_punkbuster 1" to it.
* Start your server.

Some Windows Vista and 7 users are having issues with PB, but also their problems can be fixed too.

That would be really good, we couldn't really ever keep up the RTCW 1.0 community, because many of the players left the game. Especially when Wolfenstein (2009) got released.

With this PB patch many of the 1.3 and 1.4 players started playing on 1.0 as well, so we can bring up the gameplay.

It would be really great to see new, old, active players around.
