Whether or not it's tidy is up to each server owner, I for one prefer to keep my stuff in folders related to each server (randomizer, vsh, surf etc etc), and when Valve broke that by not allowing VPK's to be in subdirectories this is how I have to do it. Might also be because ocd.

[Huntereb]

I'm on Windows, and I thought I recently updated it correctly... I'll try again though, thanks!

GCFScape 1.8.4 can open up VPKs, if it helps.

Just make sure to open the ones that end in _dir.vpk

Those are the main directory files for SteamPipe-style vpks.

Oh, remember how we were discussing VPK versioning earlier? SteamPipe-style VPKs are how Valve handles it. Once a _001.vpk file exists, updating it will generate a _002 and new _dir file. I believe you use the -P option to vpk.exe to generate this style VPK.

[FlaminSarge]

Right, and that's not useful for us. Even less useful is that clients don't download VPKs, though that's reasonable.

EDIT: Quick update to fix the empty attribute string issue and add something to the Army of One. Make sure you've got the latest TF2Items snapshot from http://builds.limetech.org

Steampipe broke everything.
It used to crash my server, but now it just unloads itself.

Also it causes my client to crash when I connect. Any idea why?

Getting a lot of crashes (like every 10 minutes) with the latest version.

Otter: wrong plugin

pcmaster: does it happen on round start/sudden death?

[pcmaster]

No, it happens at complete random times (as I have sudden death disabled) - mostly when the server is above 12 Players (I guess it's a certain weapon combination). Still wondering why the Server gets killed with Signal 6...

[FlaminSarge]

And when you set the cvar con_logfile "logs/conlog.log", and then check the end of the file after the crash, there's nothing of significance there?
