[hlds] Automated SteamCMD updates for non-Valve game servers

2014-02-19 Thread Jesse Molina


Hi all

What methodologies are available for automatically updating non-Valve 
games with SteamCMD?  Specifically, I am working on Linux here, and I am 
trying to produce an automatic update system for the Starbound server 
(AppID 211820).


With TF2, CSGO, and other Valve games, I can query the WebAPI to find 
out what the remote version is, and I have the local version in the 
game's steam.inf file.  This makes it very easy to determine if my 
locally installed version needs to be updated via SteamCMD.


However, games which have a dedicated server, like Starbound, don't have 
an UpToDateCheck WebAPI interface, and there is nothing in the 
distribution files which indicate the local version.


Is it the responsibility of Steam customers (Starbound devs in this 
case) to do something to enable the UpToDateCheck WebAPI interface for 
their game, or is this a Valve-only feature?


Any advice?
