Personally, I would be hesitant to overwrite files that are part of the update file list; what if they get updated to address a bug or implement a new feature? Obviously this doesn't apply to a motd.txt, but for files that essentially define fame behavior I would be a little more skeptical.
Just my two cents, take it for what it's worth. -----Original Message----- From: Collin Howard Sent: 2/23/2013 10:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] About gamemode_(gametypehere).cfg files? on my server, I have noticed that gamemodes.txt does not get replaced with each update anymore. It still will get replaced sometimes though so before each update, I ALWAYS backup the gamemodes.txt. Its just the smart thing to do. The files that matter most are gamemodes.txt and the gamemode_gametype.txt files. If you rename or create a new file with _server at the end, then those will not get replaced. So, gamemodes_server.txt and gamemode_gametype_server.txt will not get replaced. Do not that when you use app_update 740 validate, it will replace everything, so just dont add validate in the end. For me motd.txt or server.cfg etc have not been replaced in a while.

The easiest way to answer your question is to check the last modified dates on the files. See if they are from before or after the most recent update.

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. _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list [email protected] https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list [email protected] https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers
