I have tried to set up opposing force server on my ubuntu machine with steam CMD. I have read tutorial on valve wiki and set up counter strike source server and was able to connect to it without any issue.

With application id 90 on the other hand there was no way to make it work with any mod and I have used multiple of them evrytime I get error message Invalid game type 'cstrike' sepecified or Invalid game type 'gearbox' sepecified or any other mod. What i did is

/home/steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "/home/steam/steamcmd/op4" +app_set_config "90 mod gearbox" +app_update 90 validate +quit

I found some workarounds here : https://danielgibbs.co.uk/2013/11/hlds-steamcmd-workaround-appid-90/

Unfortunately it might be outdate cause steamcmd never creates this directory with a long name in my app install directory.

I have reached a point when I am total upset and refuse to continue trying to figure this out. It is ridiculous I have not expected steamcmd to be such crapy implementation.

If anyone was able to solve this issue pls let me know

Cheers

I have had a couple of reports of this issue recently. I think valve broke somthing

Yep, they did broke something..

I tested on a Debian, and it only downloads 27 files (~60mb) 8 folders, i tested with and without the validate and the -beta beta.
nothing.. i have a left 4 dead 2 and 7days to die servers up and running on that machine, downloaded with no big deal using steamcmd.

Just to make sure im wrong a put a loop.sh running infinite times my steamcmd script, and even after a hour, still 27 files and 8 folders (~60mb)..

I think they dont want us making old games servers anymore, everything was fine with hldsupdatetool, until they move it to steampipe, never worked fine for older games.
