good stuff, thx I used to use the older one provided by srcds.com the example they had there, its good but yours is way cleaner

[Mooga]

Thanks nizoo.
A few months back to took SRCDS Guardian and did a full re-write to make it cleaner. I would use it all the time, and customizing it was a pain because you had to hunt down all the command line and all the game references.

I wonder if I'll ever find a way of cleaning it up even more...

[nizoo]

well all i know now is that it looks awesome
