If your cfg file is not named server.cfg it won't run unless you tell srcds to run it.

So, you could open the existing server.cfg and at the end add a line:

Code:

exec <newcfgfile.cfg>

Or if you want your new cfg file to replace the original one, just rename it server.cfg

are you sure it's not named server.cfg.txt or something like that? you have to select the "show file extensions" in the folder properties to see especially if you used notepad to edit the file.

You didnt actually add:

Code:

exec <newcfgfile.cfg>

to it did you?

Replace <newcfgfile.cfg> with whatever your new cfg file is called.

e.g

Code:

exec mynewconfig.cfg
