Ah thanks, i didn't know that if you have a configarena.cfg for instance and it finds it "first" that I will disregard the version found afterwards. I'll just make an empty file then for that.
But I only started using this recently with the -insert_search_path option since I run multiple servers from 1 install. Hence placing them in custom folder would also load those files for other instances too. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Saul Rennison Sent: vrijdag 17 mei 2013 23:51 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] tf2 replay configs 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.
