The code first loads gamemodes.txt, then it merges in gamemodes_server.txt and overwrites any key values if there are duplicates. So, yes, changing either will get the same result.
The reason we recommend not changing gamemodes.txt is because if we change it ( for example by moving free armor from being hard-coded into a convar that now needs to be included in every gamemode convar block ), you either don't get the changes or you have to manually diff your old version with the new one every update. Point taken on the documentation, and we'll improve it as we go, but fwiw, the wiki is a community wiki, and those of you that help each other out on the list should feel empowered to add to it and/or modify it. Thanks for running servers. Cheers.

Also wanted to agree with the notion that a more fully fleshed-out example server.cfg and gamemodes.txt would be greatly appreciated. -joe On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 8:30 AM, Mark Clifford-Jones <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all Firstly, apologies if this has already been covered, I can't seem to access the archived mails :( I have just installed a server using the guide from the wiki https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Dedicated_Servers The first thing I notice is the server.cfg is very minimal, but I'm pretty sure there are more vars that can go in there (I tried some CSS ones just to see!), does anybody have an example server.cfg with all the available options in? Also gamemodes.txt seems very complicated compared to how CSS worked, is there a simplified version anywhere? And is it possible to split the gamemodes out totally from there into seperate playlist configs and call them from command line when a change to the server is needed (or is it even possible to call them from server.cfg)? gamemodes.txt takes a LOT of trawling through.......!! The wiki was a good place to start but seems very vague in places, I wanted to know if a mixed rotation was possible so went to the map section and it just says Maps The types of maps you play are now controlled by map groups. And lastly does mp_maxplayers work? And if so does the command line override gamemode.txt? I tried to set max players on the command line but it seems to start with whatever I have it set at in gamesmode.txt..............
