Why was the choice made to go with gamemodes_server.txt at all then?
It seems to me like you could have made modifications to the way the
existing mapcycle file works if that is the only important section of
that file. The current system is needlessly confusing.

Ngamache is incorrect. There's been no depreciation[sic] or

By this point the only thing that gamemodes_server.txt is absolutely
required for is setting up mapgroups.
Everything else can be achieved on the command line or in server.cfg.

Is there no intention to change this? This will only fuel the anger
against
the changes if the new system proves to be un-flexible.
Particularly misleading is the direction you are taking when the
original
wiki documentation amended by "ngamache" on 10th May said:
"server.cfg
This file has been significantly depreciated with CS:GO. It is no
longer used as the primary way of configuring the convars of the
server.
Certain convars, like mp_timelimit, are not even available through
the
console, as they are now loaded using a different file (see
gamemodes.txt
below)."
So which is it? Use a cfg file as the primary cvar configuration or
not?
There is no consistency to where this is going if gamemode files
cannot be
reloaded.
Whilst you typically would not expect to change cvars during server
operation on paper, the amount of times you do is actually quite
surprising.
If for example in the midst of playing with friends they propose a
change, I
do not expect to have to reload the server and have them all
reconnect (and
lose any public people). Equally I do not expect to make duplicate
bodge
edits to secondary cfg files.

Nick

Gamemodes.txt does not reload.
If you need to switch between sets of cvars while the server is
running then
I recommend putting them in a cfg instead.

In other source games if you make edits to server.cfg the changes are
parsed
and set when the server changes maps. This doesn't appear to be the
case
with gamemodes_server.txt in CS:GO. Is there anyway to manually
reload
cvars from this file without rebooting the server?
