I've use 2 different server hosts. The first one was an easy xenon server with pretty restart buttons and all pre-setup for me. The second one was a virtual server. I had to install steamcmd on through a linux command line, and wasn't quite as easy. Whenever I modified files on the virtual server, it required a map change for the file to re-load. The xenon server files would edit live. Each had it's own pros and cons, if I was changing the rate of fire on a weapon, xenon is great. Cause the file would edit live and I could balance weapons much faster. With the virtual server, Every time I wanted something to take effect, a map change was necessary. But if I wanted to change a core gamemode file on the xenon... server crash... The virtual server on the other hand would implement the core modification next map. Is there a way to choose which one I get? I would really like to not have to deal with server restarts when testing something.
I may be wrong, but I don't think Linux supports Lua refresh.
Well there we go, lol. But why would any server host not use linux though?

Each OS has its pros and cons.
You can mimic refresh though. Use file.Find to list files in directories and reload the files through recursion..

Does that actually work? I've gotten some nasty errors just running lua_openscript on one file.

It does if done properly.
