Sometimes we want to mount multiple GCF's, for example: if you have made a new mod, based on HL2MP, that needs to loads files from HL2MP and HL2. Well, of course you could copy the files to your mod but that's just wasting bandwidth and space :)
Well, it's only a couple of lines of code:
The code
Open the file cdll_client.cpp and find the function int CHLClient::Init. Go to end of the function and add before return true;
filesystem->AddSearchPath("hl2", "GAME");
filesystem->MountSteamContent(220);
That's all :)
This only adds HL2 but you can add more, possible values are listed in Steam Application IDs, although mounting a Half-Life or a Third party game GCF might not be beneficial.
