Re: Is it just me, or are test and live over-writing the same files?

I am, if nothing else, quite Kafka'ed out.

That said... the whole patching/repatching every time you change from Live to Test is getting a little old, especially since the Launcher has been really unresponsive in the last week or two. I'm surprised such a cobbled-together solution has been put out. I'm usually very keen to spend time on test servers (the community is usually great), but right now I don't think I'm going to touch it with a bargepole till I know I can do both without being penalised.

(EDIT -- to be fair, I've noticed it's much wiser to restart between sessions, which I didn't do last night when I had issues and got all cranky about it. So the problems I'm seeing are likely as much at my end as anything else, as far as Launching & stuff goes.)

Thanks for the scripts, even though I clearly don't understand how to use them.
Rename the VGUIAssets directory to VGUIAssets.live
Copy VGUIAssets.live to VGUIAssets.test
Then my script can rename the dirs as needed without conflicts.
