Updating and copying the maps over can be a pain. ⤶ # mount.cfg⤶ ⤶ With mount.cfg you can specify folders to add to the filesystem. Garry's Mod will scan the folder, mount any sub-folders and vpk files inside the given folder.⤶ ⤶ **mount.cfg** is located in **garrysmod/cfg/** and can be opened by any plain text editor - and should look something like this:⤶ ⤶ <br/>⤶ ## Mount Config⤶ ⤶ With `mount.cfg` you can specify folders to add to the filesystem. Garry's Mod will scan the folder, mount any sub-folders and vpk files inside the given folder.⤶ ⤶ `mount.cfg` is located in `garrysmod/cfg/` and can be opened by any plain text editor - and should look something like this:⤶ ⤶ ⤶ ``` "mountcfg" { "cstrike" "C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Source Dedicated Server\cstrike" "tf" "C:/mytf2server/tf" } ``` <note>Linux paths are case-sensitive</note> The key names ("tf", "cstrike" and "episodic" in this example) in the file tell Garry's Mod which game this path is for, i.e. which game should be marked as mounted for you. This affects <page>Global.IsMounted</page> and subsequently tells addons which games are mounted and which aren't. The key names ( `tf`, `cstrike` and `episodic` in this example) in the file tell Garry's Mod which game this path is for, i.e. which game should be marked as mounted for you. This affects <page>Global.IsMounted</page> and subsequently tells addons which games are mounted and which aren't. This method will also allow you to mount games (or folder addons) into **Hammer Editor**. ⤶ # mountdepots.txt⤶ ⤶ If you are experiencing:⤶ * Your clients are unable to spawn Hunters or NPCs from Half-Life: Source⤶ * Spawning the Jalopy doesn't do anything⤶ * Addons complaining that game content is not installed on the server, despite it being installed⤶ ⤶ Then you may need to ensure **mountdepots.txt** exists in **garrysmod/cfg/** with contents resembling:⤶ ⤶ <br/>⤶ ⤶ ## Depots Config⤶ ⤶ Instructs Garry's Mod which installed games it should attempt to mount.⤶ ⤶ *It doesn't actually matter if the games are present or not.*⤶ ⤶ <br/>⤶ ⤶ ### Missing or Corrupt⤶ ⤶ If you are experiencing one of the following cases, you should ⤶ compare your config to the defaults shown in the next section.⤶ ⤶ - Connected clients are unable to spawn Hunters / NPCs from HL:S⤶ ⤶ - Addons complain about missing game content that is installed⤶ ⤶ - Spawning the Jalopy doesn't do anything⤶ ⤶ <br/>⤶ ⤶ ### Default⤶ ⤶ You may need to create this file yourself at `/garrysmod/cfg/mountdepots.txt`⤶ ``` "gamedepotsystem" { "cstrike" "1" "hl1" "1" "hl1_hd" "1" "hl2" "1" "hl2mp" "1" "episodic" "1" "ep2" "1" "lostcoast" "1" } ``` ⤶ ⤶ This will tell Garry's Mod that those games are installed and should be mounted (regardless of whether they are actually installed or not)⤶ ⤶ Mounting necessary games using the method above should resolve the issues as well.⤶
