To mount one of these particular games to your Garry's Mod server, you'll first need to download the game (note: some of the above games require that you buy them). Once you've downloaded the game(s), follow these steps below to mount the content:

  1. Navigate to the installation directory of the game in question (typically found under this folder for Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common).
  2. Open the folder named after the game in question (e.g. cstrike, dods, hl2mp, lfd2, tf).
  3. Compress/zip all of the .vpk files for the game content being mounted and save the file for later.
  4. Login to our Game Panel.
  5. Navigate to your game server home.
  6. Click the FTP button.
  7. Login to your FTP.
  8. Create a new folder in your root directory and name it "gmod_content".
  9. Create another folder inside of "gmod_content" named after the folder where you found the .vpk files (e.g. "cstrike", "dods", "hl2mp", "lfd2", "tf" [this will be where the compressed/zipped file containing the .vpk files will go]).
  10. Upload the compressed/zipped file containing the .vpk files to the folder created in step 9.
  11. Extract the compressed/zipped file.
  12. Navigate to the /garrysmod/cfg/ folder.
  13. Edit the mount.cfg file.
  14. Add the following new line between the curly brackets {} and replace the text with the appropriate data (be sure to remove the double slashes //): "[folder name entered in step 9]" "[absolute directory]/gmod_content/[folder name entered in step 9]"
  15. Save changes to the mount.cfg file.
