Essential Garry's Mod Content and Map Pack

"What? You've got large purple and black textures everywhere with giant ERROR signs floating around? Fuck you, you purchase our games or you can't play Garry's Mod like it should be played."

~ Valve Software, Garry Newman, and the Garry's Mod community.

Garry's Mod is the only mod in existence where you have to purchase other games you don't want, in order for what you see in the screenshots to not happen.

These games range from $10-$100 USD extra and the support you will receive is awful at best on how to play. Many members of the community will try to circumvent the logic of having to purchase things that are essential for the mod to work, but should have been needed. The inevitable issues of 3rd party mods on the Steam Workshop and multiplayer servers not working is because the game you have installed isn't the correct one. Members of the FacePunch and Steam communities will be autistic in their logic as they try to browbeat you into purchasing games you don't want and shouldn't need.

Here's a partial solution to that problem.

This isn't guaranteed to eliminate ALL the problems. Rumored are some files on the Steam Workshop being somehow tied to the GCF archives of the official games. Still, it's a far cry from having to throw money and time away because of bad design and business issues.

INCLUDED IN THIS TORRENT:

Textures, audio, models, materials, and map geometry for the following games:

Counter-Strike: Source
Day of Defeat: Source
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Portal 1
Left 4 Dead 2 [No maps]
Portal 2 [No maps]
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive [No maps]

Total Size: 23 Gigabytes
Total Files: 140,000+

NOTE: While you can play around in the levels from all the games, they will still play as a Half-LifeGarry's Mod game regardless of what you do. This isn't Warez because it doesn't allow you to play the required game like it should be played. This is only a content pack for Garry's Mod.
