The drive physically failed. It's not a complicated tool and most of what it does is in the link above.

Hey so the tool has a very major flaw. When I originally wrote it I had only one hard drive, so it only checks your primary steam install. So if it is not installed in your primary steam folder it will not see it.

That said all this tool does is run the vpk.exe with parameters. You can easily do the same exact thing by running vpk.exe using PowerShell https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VPK#Commands

Sure if you want to throw a GPL license on it that's fine.

No idea where it would be grabbing the other one from as it only looks in the same folder that gameinfo.txt is located. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VRAD#Lights_files

It should, you can also pick which one using -lights <filename>

Yeah, my newer one just looks at libraryfolders.vdf which is a much better way of handling it. Best of luck with your tool!

Yeah that's fine!

But really all I did was take what I wrote in this guide and automated it a bit, keep in mind the tool has a fairly bad bug on my part for finding what you have installed. I assumed at the time the registry entry for Steams install location would be the only place players would have games installed since I never considered people having multiple hard drives. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=187235526

Sadly I lost the source code for it the same year from a hard drive failure before I was using GitHub.

It's rather simple, it just makes a fake source mod and modifies the gameinfo.txt to load assets. For figuring out what games they had available I just looked through everything in their steam directory for known source games. The code was also really really poorly made. 80% of it was just a giant switch statement.

This is the rewrite I started on a few months ago https://github.com/Jesse-Culver/SourceMultiTool_CSharp/blob/master/SourceMultiToolCSharp/mainMenuForm.cs
I didn't get very far with it before I had to stop to focus on some other stuff.

For Gmod though I later found out you can just change the mount.cfg (garrysmod/cfg/) and it mounts whatever you put in there which is probably what you want. It also will mount any files found in the addons folder as long as it is setup properly (e.g. addons/myassets/models/house/myhouse01.mdl)

If this is for Garry's Mod I would recommend using this newer method https://youtu.be/kLBIK4_nJiY

You'll mount all your content no problem.
