Ok , to clarify things out and keep things calm... In the early days of the server (beta era) , when valve made updates , the gamemodes.txt file was being replaced. So , you had to first back it up , and restore it after the update was done from you. And that's the reason valve implemented the gamemodes_server.txt file. However , people (server operators like me and you and everybody on this mailing list) later notice that there were also some files , like motd.txt , pure_server_whitelist.txt which were replaced too after an update (and that pissed us off too), so they were forced to back them up too. Same apllied to the gamemode_(gametypehere).cfg files.
All the above are depicted in the following .sh script for linux : *cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/mapcycle.txt /root/csgo_updates/pub cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/motd.txt /root/csgo_updates/pub cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/pure_server_whitelist.txt /root/csgo_updates/pub cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg/gamemode_competitive.cfg /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg/gamemode_armsrace.cfg /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg/gamemode_demolition.cfg /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg cp /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg/gamemode_deathmatch.cfg /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg STEAMEXE=steamcmd ./steam.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir csgo_ds/ +app_update 740 +quit cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/mapcycle.txt /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/motd.txt /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/pure_server_whitelist.txt /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg/gamemode_competitive.cfg /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg/gamemode_armsrace.cfg /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg/gamemode_demolition.cfg /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg cp /root/csgo_updates/pub/cfg/gamemode_deathmatch.cfg /root/csgo/csgo_ds/csgo/cfg sleep 5 cd csgo_ds screen -S pub -d -m nice -n -10 ./srcds_run -game csgo -console -tickrate 128 -usercon ........(and so on)* which just back up these kind of files , runs a csgo server update and then restore the files. ( it is still used by me). So , my question is simple , are these files still replacable today? What other files you know that are replacable every csgo update? Because I have a friend owning a csgo windows server and helping him out with that stuff, in windows you can't automate everything.. And for people saying that it could be easy to just create a gamemode_competitive_server.cfg file , well it was not yet that way when it was first time implemented...so I just create the script for backing them up.
