Whats the differance between the two?

I am trying to set up multimod server on CS:GO, same one i had on CSS, but addition of this trash makes it bit confusing.

The whole server is set up. Progression, rewards, npcs, some fun stuff.
My last step was to install UMC and just simply install Deathmatch and Gungame from alliedmod.

So because CS:GO has these default game modes, I thought the most logical thing to do is set it to Casual and then run my different custom modes on top of that. And then just unload/load depending on the map. But it doesn't work like this. I have no idea why.

Server just crashes and I think the reason is because I cant run these game modes on Casual server, i need to make a custom mode right? Or I need to add my maps to these Gamemodes_server.txt on top of adding them to UMC?

If you can pass on any documentation from Valve, that would be great coz I haven't found anything helpful.

First you have game types, then you have game modes within those types. Given the most recent gamemodes.txt, they are:
  • 0 = Classic
    • 0 = Casual
    • 1 = Competitive
    • 2 = Scrim Competitive 2v2
    • 3 = Scrim Competitive 5v5
  • 1 = Gun Game
    • 0 = Arms Race
    • 1 = Demolition
    • 2 = Deathmatch
  • 2 = Training
    • 0 = Training
  • 3 = Custom
    • 0 = Custom
  • 4 = Cooperative
    • 0 = Cooperative
  • 5 = Skirmish
    • 0 = Skirmish

So, if you wanted Classic Competitive, that's gametype 0 gamemode 1. If you want custom, that's gametype 3 gamemode 0.

Basically a game mode is just a set of cvars that work well default for a particular game mode. But in theory, you can run any mod in any game mode - you might just have to change extra cvars. You should investigate other causes of the crash.

I understand it a lot better now, thank you. Its basically just extra cvars, when put together create the default csgo mods.

And for map groups I can just leave it empty?
It have UMC to sort map groups.

Yes, that is correct.
