Garrysmod - Mounting CSS

[Winter]

I have tryed everything i cant seem to get css to mount to garrys mod in tcadmin 2.0. Is there a diffrent way to do it now. Do i have to put cstrike in a diffrent directory now? I also tryed to configure mount.cfg but that dont seem to work with the path anyone helping would be great.

Upload cstrike to the garrysmod/ folder and edit your mount.cfg like this:

//

// Use this file to mount additional paths to the filesystem

// DO NOT add a slash to the end of the filename

//

 

"mountcfg"

{

"cstrike" "garrysmod/cstrike"

// "tf" "C:\mytf2server\tf"

}

That is the only way I was able to get it to work as well.

Isn't it the only way to do it?

Hi after talking to support they were able to help me out and get it to work.

I was able to put it in a directory outside of the gameserver instead of it being apart of it. Simply had to give the permissions to tcadmin to read the file path. Saves space.

[Dennis]

Hmm, could you tell us about it? Would be helpful.

[Pureone-Rich]

Yes it would be very helpful for all of us if this could be updated

It's simple. Use steamcmd to install CSS and TF2 in any directory, anywhere. Then edit the mount.cfg in the garrysmod folder and change it to the directories that your content is installed it. That way, whenever you install a server, it's already the right directory.

Thanks that KissNode but the mounted files only works when they are on the same hard drive as the game server files?

 

When i move them to a diffent HD and change it in the mount file they dont seen to work on the server?

Yes, the mounted files must be on the same server that the server is created on. They can be placed anywhere. If you need more help, let me know.

I disagree Kissnode. You do not need to have them in the same directory as the gameserver. If you have the game files outside the game server's folder make sure the group named "TCAdmin Game Users" has permissions to read that folder. When you find it Right click on the folder. Add the permission in the security tab. And the mount should be able to read the files outside the clients directory. That way they cant edit the content and saves space good for if you use ssd drives.

This is an incredibly graceful solution, nor did I know about the security group of TCAdmin.

 

I applaud you McLovin!

What are you talking about? I never said that they had to be in the same directory, I even personally keep my folders outside the game server folder. I simply said they had to be on the same server; It's somewhat common sense, but it seems as if the OP thought you could have the files on a separate hard drive. I keep my mounted games in a completely separate directory, just for mounts, and I have the mount.cfg file pointed to the games within it.

But to be fair, the files does not have to be on the same hard drive

How so?

[Dennis]

A machine can have multiple hard drives, as far as I'm aware

[Winter]

Thats correct. I dont see why it wont read it on other drives on sure it will if setup correctly .
