steam update for orangebox items

[teabag]

it seems (from updating my counter strike source update) that these updates are not going into the correct folder, for counter strike source, TF2 and any other orangebox update they need to go into the orangebox folder of the server not css

[Goran]

With latest update everything will and is located in "css" folder, change the paths in "Service settings" and "Supported games" in order to create correct paths when creating a new server.

Furthemore you can copy/paste the addons from "orangebox" to newly downloaded "css" folder.

Aaaahhhh I did not know that thanks for the info

Is this change in the directory structure permanent or a bug in the steam update?

yeah good question?!

[adamnp]

do it the other way around ---

 

This patch file includes the following:

 

Simply un-rar this, and paste into your 'orangebox' directory....No need to reset startup lines to 'css' folder and move everything. Appears 'css' folder was a typo, and will be restored back to 'orangebox' so utilize this patch and save yourself the effort of moving everything then moving everything back next update.

It was actually posted in the TCAdmin V2 bugs area? Not sure how that is 'linux' only support --

 

Just providing some help -- I can provide the same for *ix, however no ones requested it yet. Typically the providers utilizing *ix as a OS know how to update the servers properly.

stop the service

rename orangebox folder to css

run the steam update

rename css folder to orangebox

start the service

[frbnet]

directory structure is permanent so CSS dont needs to be updated every time TF2 and other Orangebox games been updated

Hopefully not, took me hours to update servers and mods

Im wondering of the same, dam that noone from Valve are here and answer us.

[adamnp]

CSS was the only game that 'changed' directories, and from what I understand and was told it was an accident, and that it will revert back to the orangebox directory.

[CloudCUBE]

we just changed orangebox to css and applied the updates - and adjusted the configuration files accordingly.

 

a little annoying, but what are you gonna do

Hi Adam,

 

Did someone form Valve say it was an accident? And that they will be reverting back to the orangebox directory?

Suhail.

[icekohl]

it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a build for both folders until the next update, get ahead of the curve if they revert back to orangebox. If they don't revert on next update, which is next week from my view, then we can count on it staying in the css folder.

This was a reponse from a moderator of the mailing list.... I submitted a thread to the mailing list - and for some reason it went to a moderator first, they never responded - so I wrote back asking why it wasn't posted in the list -- they then just responded with the answer to my question and didn't post my post.

 

My question:

 

"Is it just me? When running the update for the newest stuff, the first time I ran it it just closed, the second time it appeared to update some files but not all...Now upon third attempt to update servers, they are all now generating a new directory 'css' and attemping basically a fresh install?

 

What gives? Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Kind of annoying....lol Never had this issue before"

 

The response: 'It was an accident, we will fix this on the next open release"

 

 

I'm not stating this guy was correct -- Just this is what he told me.......All we can do is wait and see :} I see others on the mailing list stating that it was created purposely but I fail to be able to find that printed anywhere.

Same here.....Guess we got our answer lol!

 

Makes you appreciate developers who talk to their audience that much better.....tnx Kevin/Luis

 

What a waste of time this "decision" could/is/will be for some.

 

They going to move it to /orangebox/css/ next year?

 

This brings up a question I haven't checked into yet -- will TCA2 linux start games properly utilizing a symlink?
