Server How to use the screen shot feature in the web-ui's Player page

[Ducky]

On the web-ui players page there is an option in the pulldown menu to get s screenshot from the remote players screen. But how does it work? If I select it and press go, then nothing happens. Or is it stored in some directory on our server. If so, then because we use a rented server and do not have direct access to the file system. We only have ftp access, but I can't find any folder where the screenshots are stored.

They're stored in the PunkBuster Screenshot folder.

I looked there. The only thing there are some HTML files with the content Screenshot was not returned by Client. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Major_Day]

Nothing, just means the SS wasn't completed, happens quite a lot.

Is the PB ss feature working now?

 

[Major_Day]

Well i got one completed shot and 4 incomplete, so the answer is: i don't know lol

I tried to make several shots, though none did work. Maybe I need to wait for a PB update.

So check me if I am wrong here chucky. So this PB screen shot is going to show if a player is using an aimbot through a static image?

Does it pick up the assists the hack provides the player?

Does it ever work?

Tried a bunch of times and got Screenshot was not returned by Client in each file.

Does it put a lot of strain on the server ?

It will show the image as it is on the players screen including the color scheme used by the player (neon skins and so on). It can reveal if a player did change the ini files to get those terrible graphics just to spot the enemy a bit easier. It will also show the overlays that some hacks (radar, enemy markers) do at to the in-game image, though some of the cheat engines are smart enough to detect when PB makes the screenshot and they quickly remove the overlay.

Well that sounds fantastic. I have tried a fair few times and I am getting no images at all. just basically empty files for each person and another html log of all the players and their steam ideas.

Same here. What I explained was how it should work, but regretfully it doesn't work. It seems to be broken somehow. Though it's a PB issue. I wonder if we manually need to update the PB engine at our servers to get this fix. Is there any PB guru here that can help us out?

It was disabled several PB versions ago.

When PB was first released, there were screenshots made. Check the dates on those that you may have. I'll bet that they are pre-09/09/11
