- Use the new SteamCMD tool to install TF2. It will be a SteamPipe installation. It will be a much faster download because it's a much smaller server installation and SteamPipe is faster in general. It is highly recommended to do a fresh install so you don't have duplicate files. - Meta/SourceMod stay in their current directories. There might (or will) be some problems with the latest releases because new gamedata can not be synced until the official release - SteamCMD is pretty much the only thing you need to learn: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD - SMAC is the major thing that broke on the plugin side. Gamedata issues hit a lot of plugins but can only be resolved with the release as stated above. You can get beta gamedata from somewhere, someone else will have to direct you to that. I don't know of any other breakage - I'm not 100% on top of this but I don't believe SteamPipe brought anything new to the table. The only thing is sv_consistency and sv_pure being merged:

(Similar to turning off sv_pure and sv_consistency That's my current knowledge. Others might know more or prove me wrong :) On Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 12:22 AM, Harsh Baid <harshbai...@gmail.com> wrote: > So i have really been ignoring this SteamPipe thing in a while, but seeing > that it is coming up.
