nope. (no update has been released since I was finished :D)
But it works fine, if i try it with a command...

Re: [ANY] Outdated do?

Really nice idea o.o

Can't wait to try this out after an update.

Re: [ANY] Outdated do?

So this plugin will simply auto update a server when there is a new update? Or does it create a file saying you need to update?

It do one, of the following thing, when Steam master servers report that your server is outdated
sm_outdated_do 2 - Specific what to do when 'your server is reported outdated'

0 = Disabled
1 = Create need.update
2 = Create need.update if no players or only bots
3 = same as 1 but also shutdown the server
4 = same as 2 but also shutdown the server

So you could make a script there every 30 min, there check if need.update is found, and if yes, then shutdown you server, update it, and start it again :)

So it will say, it only create need.update, in your mod dir :) (ex orangebox/cstrike)

Re: [ANY] Outdated do?

Love it. Can you add the option to notify players that the server is shutting down? Maybe you could add a cfg file so a server admin could change what it says easily.

Re: [ANY] Outdated do?

this is extremely brilliant, my dear sir

Re: [ANY] Outdated do?

I think you can add a option wich run a user specified command, like a servernamechange.... hostname="-=Outdatet=-Servernameblabla" and after do a mapchange, when servername is changed. So the changed servername is publicied.

So a admin can see in programs like HLSW: "Oh my server is outdatet."

A other thing is a other adminnotification like an email to admin.

Any programer use the notification system in Tellwell (http://www.telwell.de/) (similar like ICQ) with their script. Or you use a email notification, but i thing it's a littlebit heavier to realise.
