The server refuses to update. I'm trying to see if this is due to the overloaded servers or just Valve servers being overloaded with requests for files.
Continually refresh this page for information. Do not message me, I'm busy enough with this.

The server is doing one of the two things:
1. Checking to see it is updated, taking a long time, confirming that it is done updating, refusing to start.
2. Checking to see it is updated, timing out, telling me it's fully updated, refusing to start.
I don't know which one. I'm really tempted to do a full reinstall of everything, which will take hours to get up to functional, days to get back to what it was two hours ago.

That sucks. Period. Shame I have absolutely no way to help with this faded, but my server skills are equivalent to non-existent.

I've been trying to update the server for nearly two hours. I'm doing a fresh install from scratch.
Wish me luck.

The server is now installing the newest version of Team Fortress 2 automatically. I will be emailed when the install is complete. Things I will need to do when the install finishes:
Check the backup copies of the following files, then restore from the backups:
arena_mapcycle.txt
mapcycle.txt
mapcycle_admin.txt
maplist.txt
motd.txt
motd_text.txt
tf/config.cfg
tf/config_arena.cfg
tf/server.cfg
tf/adminmenu/*
tf/sourcemod/*
At this point, the server will be vanilla, with no custom maps. In order to allow me to work in the background while having the server functional, the server will be nonstop koth_harvest_event until everything is fixed. Further things I have to do:
Install the newest version of MetaMod
Install the newest version of SourceMod
Download the custom maps from the redirect
Uncompress the maps from the redirect
Upload to the server
Hate my life
Rewrite the configs for each map file.

Server will be playable in 30 minutes.
Note: Reserve slots will not exist until I install SourceMod.

SourceMod is back on the server. Admins now have all their powers again, and reserve slots work again.
Admins, please don't change the map off of koth_harvest_event. None of the other maps are configured correctly.

Man, uploading maps takes a bitch of a long time.

Server ran great, thanks!
I did notice that some non-regulars were having bad lag issues on the event map where they usually ran fine on the non-event maps, tho. They thought it might be a server problem. Shouldn't matter any more, of course.

Yeah, event is borked, and has been since release. On many servers, actually. I forgot to copy over the old config_arena.cfg, so I need to rewrite that, but I don't have any clue how I fixed anything before.  |

Arena might be back up to normal. Tell me if it's not.
