I don't understand why i got banned

The following is happening to me:

On july 25th i downloaded ET for linux from this server:
http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/
Because i am using Ubuntu 7.04

I started playing but punkbuster says im cheating :s. I really don't know how to cheat! I removed my config files but the problem stays. The only thing i want is to play ET normal without problems.

A few years ago i was mod at a CS server. The most thing i hated then was cheating and still now.

I hope you believe me and will help me because its driving me crazy.

Hmm.. Pb thinks your cheating, and your a linux user.. Well i use windows i cant help you there sorry. but maybe can you post what Pb said you did! ie aimbot, wallhack ect ect.

Are you sure you enabled punkbuster in the first place?

PB at ps1 (and others) automatic kicks/bans when the client hasnt enabled punkbuster.

I believe I didnt enable pb. So I'll try that in the morning.

One of the messages i got was:

that there was a problem with:

cg_fontQAScale

en so i had another 2 or 3 messages. I will look tomorrow and write down te messages.

Thanks for helping.

New information:

Just now i wanted to play and i've been kicked. Reason:

Violating game integrity #20004

And ingame i got the message:

Hacked Cvar cg_mapzoom

I really dont understand it

i know what is the problem, cause i'm a linux user too

The problem is that you didn't give right permission to PB, so it could'nt update itself, and so you have this #2004 error.

I think you have installed ET in the following directory, right ?

/usr/local/game/enemy-territory

So you have two solution now (or even three) :

1/ Update _manually_ PB (I dont try this solution)

$ sudo your_password
# cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb
# ./pbweb.x86

2/ move PB in your local directory (I use this solution, cause PB could update itself automatically)

$ cp /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb/pbweb.x86 ~/.etwolf/pb/pbweb.x86
$ chmod +x ~/.etwolf/pb/pbweb.x86

Update manually (i dont think that is really necessary, but do it on first time)
$ ~/.etwolf/pb/pbweb.x86

3/ Third solution : Perhaps give user right to /usr/local/game/enemy-territory ? (this is not an elegant solution, so I dont recommand it... )

Now I'm on a Windows station, so I just write this from memory - perhaps should you lightly adapt the above commands.

If any problem, just ask me : i'm still ready to help any happy Linux user

Thanx i'll try it later on. My pc is having problems today

So now im on my laptop.

ET is in /media/hdb1/enemy-territory

(thats because i had enough disk space there

)

Could that also be the problem for the hacked cvar?

Because just now i got the message:
hacked cvar: cg_tracerwidth

Im letting now if the tip works for me.

i remeber having this #20004 error with hacked c_var, too.

This c_var probem comes from the no-updated PB, I think.
