Buffalo Bad Asses

hello all,

i've been playing bba for years now and not once had a problem,
now i am :(

when i connect its saying

WARNING CAVAR CL_ maxpackets (=15) must be inside 30 to 125

i have no idea what it means so if someone can explain in a step by step guid then it would muchly be appreciated

It probably says.........CVAR..........................................................................................inside 30 to 125

Wrong, ignore next paragraph
Simplest way is to start ET. Do not connect to a server. Open the console. Type /seta cl_maxpackets 30. Connect to a server.

You can type /cl_maxpackets in console to check it at any time.
You could also type that line into your autoexec.cfg.


I suspect that PunkBuster sometimes corrupts the very cvars it has sworn to protect.

cheers will give it a try

its still not working :(

saw you connect, then disconnect, did not see any error statements.

Does he need to load the Jyamod mod before entering the cvar statement?

yeah i exited it b4 i got kicked. nothing seems to work, ive tryed to do what you said but nothing happend

I believe so but its been so many years since I have messed with client side cfgs.

Load Jaymod from the MOD menu when you start ET, then pull down console ( ~ key next to the 1 ) and type what Krispy said.

I have never heard of PB writing peoples values below the basic setting, sounds more like using other peoples cfgs and not knowing what the settings do.

***Confirm it has worked then by typing cl_maxpackets again without the set command. It will return the current setting.

This is ALL done when NOT being connected to a server.

cheers

I was wrong.

A method I've tested is to
connect to BBA, get kicked, open the console, type

/seta cl_maxpackets 30

then /reconnect. In this case, jaymod is still loaded, but PB is not running.
When you reconnect, PB starts up and checks the cvars.
OR,
you can highlight and copy the cl_ line above, connect to BBA, and while PB is giving you the series of warnings before kicking you, paste it into the console (with ctr-v) and press enter. There can be no spaces before the /.
OR,
you could create a file called something like "maxpac.cfg" in your etmain or jaymod folders, copy & paste the /seta line above into it, save file, connect to BBA, and while PB is issuing warnings, type /exec maxpac.cfg.
OR,
did you fix it already?

Just simply test your settings like I posted, entering any cvar without a number will give you your current setting, so typing in cl_maxpackets wil then return where "xx" is the setting in your cfg.

this will do the same for ALL cvars.

cool thanks for the info guys will try it all tomorrow

thanks for the advice but for some reason, its seemed to have worked on its own!!!!!!! yay
