FileSystem

{

SteamAppId 420 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).

//

// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:

//

// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in \bin

// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _ at the end.

// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.

// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".

// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".

//

//

// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.

//

// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.

// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so

// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in

// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\half-life 2.

//

SearchPaths

{

// First, mount all user customizations. This will search for VPKs and subfolders

// and mount them in alphabetical order. The easiest way to distribute a mod is to

// pack up the custom content into a VPK. To "install" a mod, just drop it in this

// folder.

//

// Note that this folder is scanned only when the game is booted.

game+mod |gameinfo_path|.

platform |gameinfo_path|.

// We search VPK files before ordinary folders, because most files will be found in

// VPK and we can avoid making thousands of file system calls to attempt to open files

// in folders where they don't exist. (Searching a VPK is much faster than making an operating

// system call.)

// Now search loose files. We'll set the directory containing the gameinfo.txt file

// as the first "mod" search path (after any user customizations). This is also the one

// that's used when writing to the "mod" path.

mod+mod_write+default_write_path |gameinfo_path|.

// Add the HL2 directory as a game search path. This is also where where writes

// to the "game" path go.

game+game_write |gameinfo_path|.

// Where the game's binaries are

// Last, mount in shared HL2 loose files
