I did some research and here's what I found.

When switching to SteamCMD from HLDSUpdateTool, SteamCMD will replace the core files (cfg, maps, scripts), however, it will not replace custom files like custom cfgs, maps, sounds (except modified resources).

SteamCMD has the "validate" parameter which matches EXACTLY what Steam has on their servers. Even if you have previously used SteamCMD, using the "validate" parameter will replace files that have changed. seDirector 0.7 beta used the "validate" parameter in SteamCMD by default, so in version 0.8 beta, it has been removed.

So in short..

If you are currently using SteamCMD:

-You'll be fine as long as you install seDirector 0.8 beta or higher.

If you are currently using HLDSUpdateTool for a SteamCMD supported game:

-Make a backup of your server before switching to SteamCMD as it will overwrite your data.
-OR create a new server in a new directory, then copy/move your data into there

Starting with seDirector 0.8 beta, users switching from HLDSUpdateTool to SteamCMD will be reminded to back up the server before proceeding.

I'll be releasing the update shortly!

Thanks!

You should definitely do a clean install, or you end up with gigabytes of unused files.

For some reason using this, my server does not respond to logs using hlsw. When I click on get log (internet) it cannot be done.

However its fine when I don't use seDirector and use a manual batch script to start the server.

Okay thanks for reporting the issue. I'll take a look and let you know.

Can you post this issue over at the bug tracker on GitHub? https://github.com/AsherSoftware/seDirector
Thank you.

Sorry if this was already asked but, is there a reason you don't open-source it?

Yours sincerely

one feature that would be nice to have, its automated restarts.

In a few months there will be some advanced features like having it call your cell phone if your server crashes, and moving servers between physical servers. For those pieces there will be a cost associated with it, however, the features out right now will always remain free. So that's why!

Thanks for the request. It is something that will be available for sure.

Multi-host = Want. Would be awesome because I have 10 TF2 servers on my personal server, 4 on a friends group of servers, and 3 on another friends servers. And updating them all is a bitch.

I bet. The plan is to make seDirector able to access any of your servers from any of your physical servers. So you just log on one server and you can control them all from there. You'll also be able to move servers from one physical server (hosts) automatically. This will come in time. We just added someone to our team today to speed up the development. Good things are coming.
