I removed the section of code you said, and the spawnicons/lists are now in Gmod. But upon clicking them, nothing spawns. Guns don't work, npcs are giant error signs, props aren't there. Same thing happened to me when I still had undeadpatched gmod about TF2 props, when I didn't have the full TF2 gcf. Which leads me to believe somehow the extraction of the gcf failed... It appears that if you tell GCFExplorer to extract a gcf a second time, it checks the first install and only installs what is needed. I tried extracting HL2 EP2 things, and I received "Stream read error", which canceled the install (Though the partial files were still there). Trying again made the first half very fast (Hence I'm assuming reading) and the second normal (Finishing where it left off). These read errors were on files like dustspark01.vmf, which I assume is rendering instructions for a particular particle. Would that be very critical? Would this reextracting correct it possibly?
Somewhere I read that the cstrike/dod/portal folders (the ones that contained the materials) would need to be in garrysmod/addons. Possibility?
EDIT: The above was correct. By putting the entire dod folder into day-of-defeat (already stored in garrysmod/addons) all of dod loaded. Excellent. However this destroys the below, as those folders are no longer in the base directory. A simple shortcut from dod (stored in root) to garrysmod/addons (renamed day-of-defeat) did NOT work, the folder physically needs to be there.
EDIT 2: Moving the folders mostly made sense. Transfer portal -> portal, ep2 -> hl2_ep2, cstrike -> counter-strike, dod -> day-of-defeat. But I've a leftover folder called Episodic, which does contain new models and such, but where would that go? The preexisting folders were critical because they had spawnlists in them, telling gmod which new things were added. So there must be a spawnlist corresponding with Episodic, right? I'm unsure which that would be... I would guess Episodic is the HL2 EP 1 stuff, as well as shared EP2 stuff...
EDIT 3... getting silly now: Though they all load properly, there is no sound attached to the CSS/DoD/EP2 stuff. As in, if I spawn an EP2 NPC, and I kill it, there is sound of bullets hitting. Of the body falling. But no sound from the NPC actually being in pain (As used to happen). If I summon a CSS gun, and shoot, I hear the bullets hitting the target, but not the gun actually firing. Obviously this isn't too much of a concern, but just pointing out that it isn't 100%. I am currently locked out because of the Visual Studio C++ Libraries error again, but I'm assuming that will go away if I either wait, restart, or keep trying Gmod, as it did before...
EDIT 4 O.o: I found a fix for the Visual Studio C++ Libraries problem!! Open Steam. Done. Apparently, my problem only occured when Steam was closed. Doesn't matter if the copy of steam has ANY GCF'S at all or not, just that it is open (Mine was Undeadpatched, and I removed the entire Steamapps folder for this test), but perhaps even that's unnecessary). Internet games work just fine, and its not loading any GCF's from steam, but Steam must be running in order for my Standalone, built using your instructions, to work. Attempting to close Steam with said Standalone open is denied, saying I must close all Steam applications first. Odd?
I was also hoping, though it was not critical, to have DoD and HLDM working, which they are not. The error they give is "Could not load Library client". You say for Source 2007 games, to extract only Source 2007 Binaries, and not base source 2.gcf, which would be needed for said two games. What is now possible? Gmod is more important to me, and I don't really have the hard drive space for two sets of extracted gcfs (Using an external drive for this testing). Would loading the base source 2.gcf and source engine.gcf in the same folder as Source 2007 binaries.gcf be a problem?
