Gameinfo.gi
GameInfo.gi is a KeyValues config file that describes a Source 2 games/mod. It is slightly different compared to the Source 1 counterpart (gameinfo.txt). For example, GameInfo.gi can contain a Source 2 equivalent of an "autoexec.cfg", which is defined in the "ConVars" KeyValue.
Note:Booleans are represented as 0 or 1.Note:If a string contains spaces or tabs you have to wrap it in "quote marks".
Counter-Strike 2 Example
