PunkBuster Update

Posted by Fluke at 16:54 26/10/2001.

The linux version of PunkBuster's pbctojpg program has been released and can be found on their download page. The utility can be used by PB Admins to convert PB Screen Captures (pbc files) into JPEG format (though PNG format files are also supported).

In related news, Tony Ray (Administrator/Programmer of PunkBuster) has posted a message on the PB forums, attempting to clear up any misconceptions or rumours concerning PunkBuster's withdrawal of HL/CS support:

"Particularly troubling to me are all of the people surmising that the PB Team used the community or left due to greed to some other such nonsense. What was said in our news post is the accurate and full truth. The current version of PunkBuster cannot be appreciably improved without support from the game developers. We have tried many times and in many ways over the past year to get such support and have failed miserably each time. I have no idea why. Offers were made to do work for free, for the symbolic sum of $1, and for reasonable fees. All types of offers drew zero interest. I'm baffled. Yet we continue to desire relationships with any and all game developers/publishers who would like to support our system and service. It is a dis-service to the community to continue trying to develop PunkBuster when the few remaining flaws cannot be properly addressed and there is no hope that they ever will be."
