Steam updates with Orangebox

[cyberwolfie]

Has anyone noticed sometimes steam updates dont work if you specify the folder name?

 

I am guessing this is to do with some files outside of the folder need updating.

 

-command update -game "%gametype%" -dir "%gameserverfolder%"

 

Is it safe to edit this command line to always not specify the -dir ?

Currently we have to do some of these updates manually via a batch file from within the service name folder.

If you remove the directory then TCAdmin will not know where to place the files. You may want to change the default directory in the game config instead.

Hmm, there must be a simple way round this.

 

If I do it from a batch file inside the game folder with the following command

HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "garrysmod"

 

It will work, if I do it with

HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "garrysmod" -dir .

It fails, obviously tcadmin uses the 2nd option.

 

This only seems to be the case on Garrysmod and TF2, which both use the Orangebox setup.

I don't have issues updating STEAM for my TF2 or GMod servers with TCAdmin.

Same here, update from TcAdmin works perfectly on both of those games.
