What Is PBCool

2006-10-02T04:23:00.000-07:00

I first made this tool to automate the process of looking at PB SS's. It then turned into something that I could develop for for the whole AAO Community.

PBCool is an advanced free PunkBuster Screen Shot Viewer. Features include: Player Sorting, Online/Offline sorting, PBSS Time Filtering, Ultra Fast PBSVSS Log downloading in Three different modes, Quick Refreshing, User-friendly Interface, Useful hand tools such as instantly copying the GUID to clipboard from a PBSS, copying PBSS log entry, browsing PBSS's by user, Self-managing Master Ban List search engine which automatically scans the users your browsing, the MBL is compiled on an AoN server by yapple, it consists of all bans from AASA, ACI, PsB, and AON, over 58000 bans
