Long has it annoyed me that the -autoupdate option didn't seem to work. It'd just hang. Well, I fixed it. I had to rewrite some of Valve's start script, but I got it working. And I added a SourceMod plugin that will kick off a server restart countdown when it sees an indication that the server needs updating.

So in theory the server should be a bit more self-sufficient now. Which is good because I'm a lazy fuck that's never been good at keeping it updated.

Not that it matters much right now since it's still in UGC practice mode, but it's a good lesson learned if it ever goes public again, or when we someday get the new server with new hosted TF2 instances.

Anyway. Yeah. That happened. Now go back to talking about Cantrip's poop adventures.

Just confirmed that it works.

Unfortunately, now it's trying to update at the very same time god-knows-how-many other servers are, so it's a pretty slow process trying to establish connections and getting the data...
