Missing textures Gmod

[Big Justice]

Is there any way i can get textures from hlf2 and CSS without buying the games?

No. Any other method of acquiring them is considered piracy.

The WInter Sale starts on the 19th. Buy them when they're cheap.

Then why hasn't that guide in the Garry's Mod hub not been removed yet (the one that uses SteamCMD)? Asking seriously here. It's certainly giving some mixed vibes considering the guide has been up since July.

I've just reported it to Valve.

Just because something exists doesn't mean it is allowed.

The thing that crossed my mind was, it's probably also possible if someone owns CSS and HL2 and you download (and then launch once to finish the installation.) from his/her library. (Family Sharing.)

The shared games' location is the same as those that aren't shared, so they'd probably work on Gmod too anyway.

The only downside to this is, you need a friend who trusts you enough for the job, and owns the two games. If I were you I'd probably ask people in real life.

Of course, but when it exists in front of the public eye for that long it starts to raise some question. As Teutep mentioned, the same result can possibly be achieved if you had someone you knew download the content to your machine either through signing in onto the machine or through Family Sharing. The latter of which is completely within bounds.

If no one reports it, some things will stay up until found. There are not enough people to search and patrol everything everywhere. As you have seen, however, it will eventually be found. The more popular it is, the more people that go to it, the more likely it is to get reported and closed.

Yes, the difference is in the licensing. The way that guide mentions goes against the server's licensing. The family share is a different license with different restrictions.

But what of the former thing I mentioned (having a friend without family sharing log in and download the content)? I could only assume something like that would be similar to the server scenario.

Anyhow, this will be duly noted for the future.
