-autoupdate feature

Hey guys, does anyone know how to get the autoupdate feature to work. Id like to have updates automatically pushed out when they are released.

just adding -autoupdate will work.

because the autoupdate updates when the map changes, you'll need to have the map changing regularly. If there isn't anyone in your server, then the map won't change, and you won't get the updates.

An easy work around for this is to leave 2 bots on your server in fill mode

Code:

bot_quota 2
bot_quota_mode fill

put those commands in your autoexec.cfg or server.cfg file.

This way, the minimum number of players in your server is at least 2 bots. They play each other, rounds end, maps change, and you get your updates when they come out.

Sounds to me like the user that installed the server and the user that runs the server are different. did you install it as root or something?

i did install the server as root. sounds like a good answer to me. im currently upgrading boxes and starting from scratch regardless. Ill install it as my primary user account and see what happens.
