[cod] Now what ...Am I missing something

[Robert Mount]

PB will work either way... With a .callofduty folder or as a sub in the same 
location as "main" (or "uo").  I've run it both ways.  All that matters is 
where the games looks and that there's PB files there.

Using the start string "+set fs_homepath /path/to/stuff/here" will force 
where the game looks for its configs and PB and suppress the creation of the 
.callofduty folder.  If you don't use it, CoD will create the .callofduty 
folder structure and populate it with files (logs, pb screenshots).  It 
won't actually copy in all the needed PB files.

If you use the .callofduty/pb method and PB shows as disabled even though 
you're used "+set sv_punkbuster 1" in your start script, then you need to 
populate that directory will all the PB files.  Easiest way to do that is to 
download the PBWEB util from Even Balance:
