When validate game server is checked and an update is performed, missing files do not appear. Seems to be an issue with SteamCMD. Found the bug, working on a fix. Due to recent changes with SteamCMD.

At present, the Options window is in English. The language cannot be changed on first load.

The language should change immediately upon selection, so that when the program initializes for the first time, the language specified is visible in the Options window. Setting up the Options window initially without changing the language can be confusing to users that are not fluent in English.

Using the Portuguese-BR translation there are some messages still to be translated, however in GitLocalize it shows as if it were in 100% the Portuguese, Brazil translation.

But the Discord & Emails notifications part does not update:

#56

Keep a list of timestamps? md5 checksums? for comparsion

Description
Whenever a scheduled restart is done it does not force close the game server.

To Reproduce
At the 5 in the morning scheduled restart, some server keep being stuck on "Pending restart".
No errors received nor in logs nor on discord.

Expected behavior
Just restart the game server as scheduled.

At the moment Metamod and SourceMod both select the top-most item in the dropdown list, which can appear as if the latest version is installed, unless you look at the version number differences.

Ideally if the version is outdated it should show up in red, or select a different item in the drop-down list to clearly identify that an older version is installed.

As a workaround, for now, create a file in C:\Program Files\seDirector called no.ping like so...

Describe the bug
When using Create Server to download or install TF2C, the download box immediately disappears.

Installing a local zip file fails as well.

Describe the bug
seDirector showing players connected to the server incorrectly, sometime even showed players on the server while there wasn't any.

At the moment, addons download each time they are installed. A better way to do this would be to save it and reuse the file. At least for 1 day.

Future versions will not require a restart.

Hello, I like this app.
But recently I would like to use same Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated folder and launch about 10 left 4 dead 2 servers

I know I can create 10 different folders to do that, but it is very inefficiency, and occupy much disk space.
Is there any option?

Caused by Status and Process Affinity saving in local language.

I believe it is a bug, better, just a lack of translation. It wouldn't be a big problem but I think it's good to let you know.

Everything is translated except this option/information:

https://github.com/log-ical/sp-discordrelay

At the moment, there is a list of stock maps to exclude from compression, but not a list of sounds, materials, models, or resources. While it's not a big deal that they are compressed, it is unnecessary since players already have the latest version of these items.

Created for tracking issue

Counter-Strike 2 has been out for a few months now, but we're still waiting on SourceMod to roll out support for it. The team at AlliedModders is hard at work on this – you can check their progress right here. They're getting there, but it's not quite ready yet.

Good news for Metamod, though – it's already up and running with CS2. We'll be adding that back into seDirector soon.

In the meantime, new alternatives to SourceMod are popping up. Take a look at CounterStrikeSharp, for instance. It's an good looking new option and even supports plugins, much like SourceMod.
Docs
Getting Started

We're thinking about creating an seDirector plugin using CounterStrikeSharp. That way it can keep CS2 up-to-date.

CounterStrikeSharp is now officially planned.

When specifying a time for a task, nothing happens.

Many users have requested the ability to use seDirector with additional games, beyond what is officially supported. Since most games use srcds.exe, that is what seDirector supports.

By incorporating the use of templates, we can extend the functionality of seDirector to support games that go beyond the traditional use of srcds.exe and its relative arguments. Virtually any game could be supported through this method, including the modification of stock games.

Some good news - SteamDB.info has a lot of data and some information is available. That means seDirector could import the data such as logo, icon, app ID, and some configuration.

Because this is a popular feature and would greatly extend the functionality of seDirector, it is now an officially planned feature.

What You Are Seeing?

When Dota 2 is being created using seDirector you may no longer be able to select srcds.exe after the server files are downloaded.

It now changed to dota2.exe (complete game) and vconsole2 ((not used for server purposes).

You also would need a Dota account if you would want to try and have it as a dedicated server while using the following parameters on the Dota 2 Shortcut:

-dedicated -game dota +map dota
-dedicated runs the game in dedicated server mode
-game dota run the Dota game
+map dota loads the Dota map

There is no possibility yet in seDirector to add these parameters due that it can't be added to a server because of the missing srcds.exe file.

What is Expected?

To have a srcds.exe file which in this case isn't existing.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

I tried to "add a server" and i chose Dota 2.

You can create the server by clicking on the "Create" button and choose a destination path.

Once created it asks to select the srcds.exe file, which in this case does not exist.

It now changed to dota2.exe (complete game) and vconsole2 ((not used for server purposes).

You also would need a Dota account if you would want to try and have it as a dedicated server while using the following parameters on the Dota 2 Shortcut:

Other games use the seDirector plugin to update. But since SourceMod doesn't work with CS2 yet, the plugin won't work. Therefore automatic updates will never occur.

To work around this issue, we can force games to automatically update without player notification. That's not ideal, but it should at least be an option for folks who want to do this.

Thoughts?

The only workaround right now is to create an update task that updates daily. But that's not preferred.
