The problem is clearly the lack of up-to-date DOCUMENTATION at this point. I'm sorry, but you DO only need to edit the 1 file (gamemodes_server.txt) and you should NOT be modifying the other. If you are, you are simply doing things wrong (this is not a personal criticism of you, but due to said lack of documentation).
For example, Collin has just replied (like so many on this list) to offer advice on this issue below, but his advice is again wrong. It was stated previously that maxplayers should NOT be in the cvars section as they are a special case a couple of patches ago. Ido (valve) has also already responded on this list to help the individual out and highlight that fact. I am scanning this mailing list every day, and so many people are still tripping over on the same pitfalls constantly: config file format / syntax, launch commands etc. The official wiki is well out of date, and all the patch changes / official advice is lost or strewn across this mailing list / patch notes / twitter / wiki / website. Cmon Valve, spend 5 minutes to just collate all the key information and update the Wiki or something. If you want to re-invent the wheel for configs, then at least guide people through it fully and clearly, as its obvious some are struggling. - Nick From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Clifford-Jones Sent: 17 August 2012 00:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] GameModes_Server.txt - anyone got it working? I disagree (repectfully) Gordon, it's not just 'a' text file with vars, it's at least 2. I did post on the list earlier about running a 'mixed' map config, I had no reply but finally got it working tonight - after editing 2 configs (including that one that says "do not modify!") Most server admins are quite happy to trawl through a server config to see what works, but when you have to make duplicate edits in more than one file to get things working it's not great - and alse the gamemode* files are not laid out in a very user friendly way. I can just see now we will have a lot of questions on how to get things running how the server admin wants when this gets released......... _____ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:55:59 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] GameModes_Server.txt - anyone got it working? Honestly it's just a text file with values, and this is kind of the same thing we've been doing for years. If this is too complicated for the average server admin then I'd be happy with the average server admins being culled to make way for those with the ability to edit text files. :( Some more clarity on the change from CS:S to CS:GO would have been nice - I do agree that a lot of people were blindsided by the huge change in how you setup/config your servers.
