Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/136

I would like to add another option line after asking if the server directory is correct to check if the server wants Counter Strike: Source content to be installed as well as the server. I believe the default value should be true as you will rarely if ever see a garrysmod server that does not have CS:S mounted as it's required for popular gamemodes and addons.

Schooling will be overrunning my life again shortly so if anybody else want's to snag this before I get around to it go ahead.

This would be useful. If this can be done with all extra game content that would be great. Maybe a a new option to download and mount certain content.

I will work on this later today when I am home. I am thinking of having it take user input as a string then having it grep to see if a number assigned to each of the possible servers are there.

In English:

[1] Counter Strike: Source [Installed]
[2] Team Fortress 2 [Not installed]
[3] Portal [Not Installed]

[0] None

Select which server content you would like to be installed: [0]

You get the point.

I'm thinking of having this as a built-in function of the script that would only execute this feature and not the whole installation, though will still be included there.

Sounds good. Something like ./gmodserver content maybe. Ideally the ability to add and remove content as required would be ideal.

I like it, 90℅ of gmod servers need it, either darkrp or prophunt, many main mods need it.
If you can make it so it's easier to add other game content it's even better !

I personally made an srcds user that has all the needed content, which comes mainly from LGSM script installations. Then i edited mount.cfg to use that content. Sometimes i make an update of those, like every 6 months, just in case, and that does the trick.

I would guess CSS would need an update in a shorter period than 6 months ... however I may be wrong ..so the script installs gmod ... then has the ability to CSS ... from that the validate function should perhaps check the contents of mount.cfg & update it ..... but to be fair I'm near 60 & have no idea what players expect

I never had an issue working like that (with very few update of the content), as gmod mainly uses texture and sound files, that are not updated frequently. I could setup a cronjob to update that, i just didn't do it as it doesn't seem very useful. Would be cool to have a command like gmodserver update-content btw.
For the validate function, good idea, but i think the validate function doesn't touch mount.cfg, otherwise i should have rebuilt it several times ! As some gmod update worked only with a validate command, and never had to rebuild it.
( You're near 60 ? Rly ? You're kind of our dad/grandpa then ! Amazing :D )

yes I am old ... is that an issue ? .. so update/validate Gmod should also update the paths that are defined in mount.cfg ?

It's all but an issue, i love knowing that i'm talking with a more experienced person !
Sorry if i didn't explain well :
I mean update/validate functions won't touch the mount.cfg as it is.
So maybe this will require another function such as ./gmodserver mount-content that will download and add required variables to mount.cfg
Need to define how the user choose what content to add, or if it's a css content only function.
I should have a look at what dgibbs64 did to tell more about it.

but perhaps the script should just validate the mounts when it validates it's self ... else the some content could be out of date ?

If that's what you meant i totally agree. It should validate the content when validating gmod, and update it when updating gmod !

Ok we are talking buggy Gmod ... who knows how it works ... but to be fair if you have a valid path in mount.cfg the script should update the mount ... but again why not use the workshop to add content .. simpluz (sorry UK TV add)

You can't add css content with the workshop !
That's why this function would be useful.
Update the game according to the mount, that's clever. But in my case it wouldn't work as the mounted content is owned by another user, this to only download it once and share it across multiple servers. It would have to check if the owner of the file is the same as the one running the script.
Maybe an external lgsm settings file would be preferable for this. The discussion is still open.

How else would you update the content than via steamcmd ? I don't see your point.
But if you mounted content from another user (eg : my case) you won't be able to update it anyways.
Didn't get the end of your sentence about mods btw, sorry.

Should be easy to update the content. Just needs to loop though the various appid and update with gmod. The hard part is allowing the user to customise which content to mount

Because of the massive number of possible appids to mount and the complexity of managing it all. Sadly I am not going to implement this feature. I think a whole new script would probably be the best way to manage it. There is a basic guide on how to mount CS:S in the docs https://docs.linuxgsm.com/game-servers/garrys-mod/mounting-game-content
