content-export-tools

These tools consist of a set of console commands that are designed to make extracting content from the game significantly easier by automating several aspects.

• Files are written to the garrysmod/data/_export folder directly from the game's virtual filesystem, no need to download or unpack gma files.
• You can perform bulk operations to export entire folder structures in one go.
• Any content part of the base game or any mounted source games is ignored.
• Dependencies are automatically handled. Models include all of their materials, materials include all of their textures and soundscripts export all of their sounds.

Console commands

• mdl_export <mdl> - Exports a model and it's materials.
• mat_export <material> - Exports a material and it's textures.
• snd_export <sound> - Exports a single sound file.
• soundscript_export <script> - Exports all of the sounds used in a specific soundscript.
• pcf_export <pcf> - Exports a .pcf file with all of it's materials.

Bulk commands

Each of the above commands also has a _bulk variant, which takes a partial path (e.g. models/hunter/misc) and recursively handles all the files it finds. For soundscripts, it supports patterns instead.

Console variables

• cet_filter_folders - A comma-separated list of patterns used to ignore specific file paths when exporting files.
