@YM_Industries Garry's Mod is the exception, not the rule. The HL2 shared files are now stored separately for each Valve game that uses them. If you don't believe me, download Counter-Strike Source then look in its hl2 directory. You'll see the formerly-shared HL2 vpks in it: hl2_misc_dir.vpk, hl2_sound_misc_dir.vpk, hl2_sound_vo_english_dir.vpk, and hl2_textures_dir.vpk.

Additionally, Garry has made numerous blog posts about the "mounting" system that gmod uses to load content from other games. This is why you still need to own CS:S in order to get those materials/sounds/other resources for gmod. The issue is I don't know where the base content is stored. | |
