how do enable PB on our trinity gaming server? i cant see the command on the control panel and i tryed typing pb_sv_enable in console and it came up "ignoring pb commands" .
You have to type admin pb_sv_enable, you also have to be logged in as admin to this.

From Evenbalance- There are two ways to enable the PunkBuster Server. You can either join the server logged in as a server administrator and use the following console command (without the quotes): "admin pb_sv_enable". Alternatively, edit the pbsvgame.cfg file in the "System/pb" folder on the game server and use "sv_punkbuster 1". Again, if pbsvgame.cfg is edited or changed, the server instance must be restarted for the change to take effect.
You might have to make the pbsvgame.cfg file useing notepad, and saving with that name as file type ALL.

And if that doesnt work, then you have to make a pb config file, and put it into your pb/sys folder via your ftp access. Then you need to reboot the server for it to be turned on. For more help go to http://www.punksbusted.com, or http://www.evenbalance.com <--official pb website.

If you can not figure it out, you can always put in a support ticket with them, and they will do it for you.
