A brand new version has been released. The project has been rewritten and is hopefully a little bit easier to use and update.

The only possible downside is that the version requirements have been bumped up. You now need to be running macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) or later. Hopefully this isn't a problem for most people though as a lot of other Mac software has been moving in this direction already.

In order to have less potential conflict with replacing files that might already exist, the files you install now have different names. The srcds_osx binary has been replaced with srcds-cli.bundle. And in order to start the server, you now must run srcds.sh rather than srcds_run.

Notable changes and improvements over srcds_osx:
  • Automatic updating of srcds binaries on server startup. This can be disabled by adding the -noupdate option to the command line. Please note that you still have to keep the game up to date using SteamCMD or the Steam client GUI.
  • Automatic downloading and updating of Steam libraries. This means the Steam client GUI is no longer required to set up a server; SteamCMD will suffice. This can be disabled by adding the -nosteamupdate option to the command line.
  • Added -steambeta command line option to switch to the beta branch for Steam libraries.
  • Added support for the 64-bit version of Day of Infamy. This version is run by default unless you add the -32 option to the command line.
  • Fixed support for Garry's Mod. The game update on December 18th broke things.
  • Fixed issue where the status command on CS:GO, Insurgency, and Day of Infamy did not display the current map.

Also note that there is now ONE download for all games, so no more figuring out which package to get. As usual the download is in the first post or you can just grab it here.
