// Mapbase has a fairly unique file system that needs some explanation.
// In its rawest form, it is spread out across 2-3 folders:
//
// mapbase_shared - Shared Mapbase content, like editor icons, that are not unique to Half-Life 2.
// mapbase_hl2 - Original HL2 branch of Mapbase.
// mapbase_episodic - Episodic branch of Mapbase.
//
// Each folder relies on the previous, meaning mapbase_episodic cannot function without mapbase_hl2 and
// mapbase_hl2 cannot function without mapbase_shared.
//
// mapbase_episodic > mapbase_hl2 > mapbase_shared
//
// Each Mapbase folder has its own "content" subfolder contianing VPKs.
// These are mounted similar to the "custom" folder in which everything is mounted without listing out their names.
//
SearchPaths
{
// First, mount all user customizations. This will search for VPKs and subfolders
// and mount them in alphabetical order. The easiest way to distribute a mod is to
// pack up the custom content into a VPK. To "install" a mod, just drop it in this
// folder.
//
// Note that this folder is scanned only when the game is booted.

// Now search loose files. We'll set the directory containing the gameinfo.txt file
// as the first "mod" search path (after any user customizations). This is also the one
// that's used when writing to the "mod" path.
