You should really put all your configs in a tf/custom/XXX/cfg/ folder (XXX
can be anything you want).

When the game tries to open a file, it will search all VPKs and subfolders
in tf/custom folder first. For example, if the game wanted to load
"cfg/configarena.cfg" it would search:

* tf/custom/another_addon.vpk/*cfg/configarena.cfg*
* tf/custom/my_addon.vpk/*cfg/configarena.cfg*
* tf/custom/subfolder/*cfg/configarena.cfg <-- you should use this*
* tf/tf_cantrememberthename_dir.vpk
* tf/*cfg/configarena.cfg*

Basically, the *tf/cfg/configarena.cfg* file will be the *last* place the
server looks, so you can put all your config files in a custom subfolder
and the server will run as normal, and you're free from conflicts with
steamcmd validation/updates.



Kind regards,
