Im new to csgo hosting so i just wanted some clearance . Does file gamemode_server.txt completely replace gamemode.txt when active (it deactivates gamemodes.txt) or just some commands inside gamemode_server.txt which override commands in gamemodes.txt?
I assume just some command overriding as gamemodes.txt had a lost more code inside. Im asking because i just want to make an active mapgroup in gamemodes_server.txt and all the rest leave in gamemodes.txt which probably will be replaced with default gamemodes.txt after server update.
Thanks

*edit
- Do not edit gamemodes.txt or gamemode_*.cfg files. Those get overwritten after updates.
- Create and use override files, gamemodes_server.txt, gamemode_*_server.cfg
- You not need copy of all settings from base file into override file. Use just those you want change.



Something like this, it merge _server file into base gamemodes file.

	"block"
	{
		"key"	"value"
	}

_server, override file:
- Not remove keys or blocks.
- It can add new block and key with value.
- It can change value of already exist key, when you travel to right path (blocks). This is why we use it as override file, to change default value.

For quick example:
- If server not start with -maxplayers_override parameter,
you can change maxplayers size in different game modes (example coop vs casual).
It turn maxplayers as dynamic variable.
You can change maxplayers value with _server override file using key "maxplayers" (and for traveling in right gamemodes, gametypes etc. etc. you need mimic path).

- Base file have map group called "mg_de_dust2", it only have one map "de_dust2" "".
Because "de_dust2" "" map name is key, you can't remove it.
If you use override file to place another map into it, you just increase map count.

mapgroup mg_de_dust2
Setting mapgroup to 'mg_de_dust2'
print_mapgroup_sv
Map group: mg_de_dust2
     de_dust2
     cs_office

- In "mapgroups" section, you can create new map group with given map list, using override file and right path.

This is my opinion what I have test.
Game could do other things, I have not look into it deeper.

Most values inside gamemodes file, are maybe for client side things.
So all things not work from server side.

So as i assumed,just few commands from gamemodes_server file overrides commands from gamemodes file. Thank you.
