The Tutorial

Right Click Garry's Mod in Steam and choose properties
Click the Local Files tab then Browse Local Files...
In the new window open up the "garrysmod" folder and then open the "cfg" folder
Install NotePad++[notepad-plus-plus.org]
Open mount.cfg with NotePad++
Notice the written comments and the example
Open up Steam and select "Counter-Strike Source"
Right Click "Counter-Strike Source" and choose properties
Click the Local Files tab then Browse Local Files...
In the new window that opens up note the name of it's main folder, "cstrike"
Open the cstrike folder
Copy the directory address
Back in the mount.cfg create a new line inside the brackets and following the example add cstrike
Save the file and close it
In the cfg folder where you found mount.cfg go up two levels till you are back where you started
Open the bin folder
Run Hammer.exe
You will now find Counter-Strike Source assets mounted

NOTE: Running the map will still require your players to have the game installed and mounted properly inside of Garry's Mod

As demoenstrated in the video you can use this method to mount multiple Source Engine games such as Day of Defeat Source and Counter-Strike Global Offensive.

Here is an example of my mount.cfg PasteBin Link[pastebin.com] Ghostbin Link[ghostbin.com]

You should not be touching mount.lua, you only need to modify mount.cfg

Any idea what to do after it has changed to mount.lua in a different folder? Looking to add from other Source Games for prototyping my University Project.

@Wazanator I just unpack what I need into the models, materials, sounds, ect. folders, those will be loaded after I restart Hammer. I thought it can't load addons directly without manually unpack them ‒ not just I thought this, it's a common thing.

Wazanator [skapare] 25 nov, 2024 @ 9:20

It should be able to mount vpks this way but when I have done addons I have unpacked them first then pointed it at the folder. Give it try with unpacking them perhaps?

Example:

"PropPack" "G:\Programs\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\proppack"

The workshop content i'm trying to mount looks like this

"custom" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons"
Inside the folder are two .vpks for two different addons i want to mount, is this how it should be formatted out? In hammer it sees the mounted folder but not the .vpk files inside of the mounted folder.

Wazanator [skapare] 24 nov, 2024 @ 6:45

Should work. I've used it to mount unpacked addons

setup2134 24 nov, 2024 @ 0:59

but mounting games like l4d2 and cstrike and hl2 etc works well

setup2134 24 nov, 2024 @ 0:58

Can I use mount.cfg to mount custom made VPKs? I tried to mount one and it detected the folder it was in but not the vpk itself

Wazanator [skapare] 23 nov, 2024 @ 10:19

Yes, if you check the readme for the Gmod specific version of Hammer++ it mentions this.

-------
--- Other Information ---
If you want to mount content from other games such as Counter Strike Source, you can use Garry's Mod's "mount.cfg" feature.
This mount.cfg file is located in the "Garry's Mod/garrysmod/cfg/" folder. Open it in Notepad and follow the instructions.
