In Garry's Mod, many servers utilise content from Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2. This article covers mounting the content from these games to your server so that you may utilise maps, models, and other resources from these games.
MOUNTING CS:S / TF2 FILES ONTO YOUR SERVER
You can mount your CS:S & TF2 files directly to your server by uploading them via FTP and making the appriopriate configuration changes.
- Install the game you wish to mount on your PC using Steam.
- Right-click CS:S/TF2 within your Steam Library, and navigate to Properties... > Local Files > Browse...
- Connect to your server's FTP, we suggest using FileZilla.
- Upload the game folder to the root directory of your server files. This will be cstrike for CS:S, and tf for TF2 (these uploads may take a while).
- Edit mount.cfg located under the path
/garrysmod/cfgas appropriate for the game you are mounting.- If you are mounting CS:S, change
// "cstrike" "C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Source Dedicated Server\cstrike"to"cstrike" "cstrike". - If you are mounting TF2, change
// "tf" "C:\mytf2server\tf"to"tf" "tf".
- If you are mounting CS:S, change
- Save mount.cfg and Restart your server to apply the changes.
- To test if CS:S was mounted successfully, you can run the console command
changelevel de_dust2. If the map changes to Dust 2, CS:S is mounted. - To test if TF2 was mounted successfully, you can run the console command
changelevel ctf_2fort. If the map changes to 2 Fort, TF2 is mounted.
- To test if CS:S was mounted successfully, you can run the console command
