i just put a client mod on a server… for the second time punkbuster is being a b*tch. its giving ppl 5 minute bans for game integrity. first time this happened: after i changed the cvars for third person. all i did was CHANGE the cvars. second time it banned ppl (now) is when i changed the knife’s alternate fire to send the /throwknife console command. i submitted a ticket to evenbalance, but wanted to know if anyone here had an issue like this or any suggestions.

PB has hardcoded checks for a few specific cvars. You can avoid the thirdperson problem by renaming the cg_thridperson cvar in your mods code (the cvar name, not the C variable name).
Not sure why /throwknife would be a problem. Assuming your mods client dlls are in a .pk3 on the server, you should be able to do pretty much whatever you want in cgame. Perhaps you could provide more details.
they are [in a pk3]. and also im pretty sure i did try changing only the cvars but it still kicked.
doesnt matter now tho i got both 3rd person and throwing knifes working. for 3rd person i just added NEW cvars and replaced the code where it would use cg_thirdperson with ete_thirdperson. the old cvars are still there but do nothing.
