I'll change the default location to be ../steam in the L4D and TF/OB srcds_run,
since this seems to be what everyone expects it to be. I'll see if I can make
locating the steam binary a little smarter. The change I made to allow you to
specify the steam binary location didn't make it into this release.
./steam definitely doesn't make sense. ../steam makes more sense, but it isn't
perfect because if someone runs the install like this:
./steam <...> -dir valvegames
Or something else, then steam isn't ../steam. It is ../../steam or something
completely different.

Hello,
It looks like the autoupdate on startup is still broken. I am using
-autoupdate and -steamverify but I still get the message "Could not locate
steam binary" and then startup moves on without checking for updates.
It looks like the culprit is this section of updatesingle() in srcds_run:
if test -f "$STEAM"; then
echo "Updating server using Steam."
DEPOT_ROOT=".."
DEPOT_NAME=$GAME
When this is reached, the value of $STEAM is "./steam" and since the steam
binary does not exist in the current directory (left4dead2_demo), the test
fails. I think that changing the initial value of $STEAM to "../steam" would
work, but I can't test it right now because I don't want to kick all the
players off my server.
- Dave
