3. Copy the following configuration:

Mounting Games #

In order for Hammer++ to load content from the various games that Momentum Mod mounts, follow these steps:

1. Extract materials, models, and sounds from .vpk files:
   • Extract Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\pak01_dir.vpk into Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\csgo_content
   • Extract Counter-Strike Source\cstrike\cstrike_pak_dir.vpk into Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cstrike_content
   • Extract Portal 2\portal2\pak01_dir.vpk into Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\portal2_content
   • Extract Team Fortress 2\tf\tf2_misc_dir.vpk and Team Fortress 2\tf\tf2_textures_dir.vpk into Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\tf2_content
2. Mount Momentum Mod content by running this command in a command prompt: mklink /D "<path to steam games>\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\momentum_content" "<path to steam games>\Momentum Mod Playtest\momentum"
3. Open Momentum Mod Playtest\momentum\gameinfo.txt and copy the following contents into the SearchPaths section:

game        "csgo/csgo_content"
game        "csgo/cstrike_content"
game        "csgo/portal2_content"
game        "csgo/tf2_content"
game        "csgo/momentum_content"

4. Open Hammer++ and the content from these games should load now.

Warning: If Hammer++ crashes on startup, you may have to delete the particles folders that were extracted from the .vpk files.

In order to support light emitting textures from Portal 2, copy the contents from Portal 2\portal2\lights.rad and paste them into Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\lights.rad
