gm_mount2 – Use any source-engine content in GMod

February 19th, 2010 aVoN Leave a comment Go to comments

Description
This addon allows you mounting any source-engine games in Garry’s Mod including default VALVE games, Steamworks content like D.I.P.R.I.P, Left 4 Dead and every installed SourceMod.

Download

The full version includes spawnicons for some models (several MB). The light version doesn’t, so it is much smaller. But you have to generate the icons yourself.

Annotations for Left 4 Dead 1/2:
Left 4 Dead maps are not compatible with Garry’s Mod. Don’t try loading them – This will only cause GMod to crash.

Why another mounting addon?
You may know the orginal mounting addon and it’s extension for sourcemods. They work well but I wasn’t really satisfied with the way they work and I disliked their messy sourcecode so I wrote up my own from scratch.
My addon directly integrates into GMod and works on dedicated servers which is not possible without many modifications of the old gm_mount addon.
It also can mount Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 which is the main purpose of this addon, which took me over 3 weeks, around 2000 lines of C++ code and much coffee to figure that out.

    there is an update for the menu of Garry’s mod and now in instead of, gmod options, it’s extensions and it doesn’t give you the full list of all the games. it leaves out left 4 dead 1 and 2, so I don’t have any idea on how to get it to work. I think you should make GM_mount3 so I can use it for this update.

    @crackhead & @rome :
    Run the game in at least DirectX9 with High Shader Details.

    Why can’t I find the boomette and the spitter? And the special infected (hunter, smoker, etc) of L4D use the skins of those of L4D2… Is there a way to fix this?

    @Mendoza
    If you have both games mounted, L4D1 and L4D2, the content of L4D2 has priority over L4D1. So if the models have the same name the one of L4D2 is picked instead. There is nothing I can do about it without modifying the Source Engine. Sorry.

    @Bill
    Alien Swarm is already “supported” in beta-mode. Just update to the latest version and READ THE CHANGELOG.TXT.
    Currently, Alien Swarm is disabled by default because most textures are failing and some models crash the game.

    @Mendoza
    Either try to search the boomette in Spawnmenu/Browse/Left 4 Dead 2 or delete /garrysmod/settings/spawnlists/*any left 4 dead spawnlist you see here*. Reinstall mount2 now.

    Hey, I downloaded and installed gm_mount using the setup, but when I loaded up gmod after nothing had changed, there was no evidence that I had installed anything at all, no new prop menus, nothing in the browse folder nothing changed in extensions/game content. same results after I tried copying and pasting the garrysmod folder to the one in the steam folder.

    I have a legit copt of L4D and L4D2 on steam, so I’m not sure what the problem is.

    Am I missing something?

    Hello, chap! Just wondering, how do I use this? Nothing shows up in game content or extensions. I used setup.exe.

    I recently downloaded an addon and when I went to spawn some L4D/2 props most of the spawn icons just say error, but when I click them the prop appears. I was wanting to know if there’s a possible fix to the prop icons.
