I reinstalled steam last night and installed garrys mod and my half life games and left some other games like COD, TF2, terraria, etc uninstalled.
I went onto gmod after installing and running my games so i could get the folders for the games, etc.
It didn't pick up the half life 2 maps like it usually did before reinstallation of steam, it would get the half life 2 content put into gmod, maps, models, etc, but there wasn't any content coming from half life 2, there was some, for example the default hl2 content it puts into gmod, but it didn't give me any maps or anything else.
I found out the GMod folder was put into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common, here is a screenie of the games in there:
As you see there is only 2 games that have to do with half life, half life 2 deathmatch and the original half life.
While in the other folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\myusername:
The games are there, but the content isn't showing up as it should in GMod.
By default content I mean this area:
As you see, you dont need half life 2 to get that part of content, but I dont get the maps in GMod, as shown here:
There should be a Half Life 2 tab, where you get all the half life 2 maps.
Why am I not getting the content from the games in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\myusername folder?
Anyone know a fix for this? I really need help on it because its really confusing, it is getting annoying as I need HL2 Episode 2 and CSS to work so I can play the GMod storm chasers maps without errors and missing textures.
I get the counter strike maps and things like that, but I'm not getting Half Life 2 maps and other content.
Will moving the folders in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\myusername folder to the common folder work?
