By the Steam rules, is it illegal to use the .gcf files not owning the game? E.g. if I want to use CS:S GCF files without buying CS:S for models and maps in Garry's Mod, is it actually against the rules and bannable?
Thanks in advance.

The asian hacker compromised user accounts on steam through some sort of "spider"-tool or whatever it is. It was on the news a while ago, I now have and use a much complex + safer password that I can remember quite decently (muscle memory is under rated).
Valve should make their games available in CD form, with all content on it and make it require a CD to play the game instead, it's the only way to create a decent game from my opinion. Why hide game files inside of GCF files? indeed that makes no sense to me.

-> Fast Update
-> Fast checksum check
-> Play games while download/update.
-> Unable to change something for cheating (Before start, Steam checksum the ~3 gcf files and not 2.296 other files. So it's faster.)
That's the sense about a "game cache file".
And you own css without buying css? weird.. I think the support would think, that you downloaded css from some pirate sites. So.. that's not a good idea. And I know, that GMOD check for the first, if you own css. If not, then gmod don't load the files. Also extract the files would not work (I tested it on a LAN-Party for other friends).

GMOD comes with models and stuff, I'm almost certain you can't just drag that into your gmod directory and use it.
Apache uwu has writtenYeah I think that is illegal. Are you using a map editor, is it for GMOD? I know for certain that hammer is part of the orange box and you shouldn't have it unless you bought the orange box.

Eh you can download Source SDK by Steam and get usefull stuff, like model poser and hammer editor for source games.
I dont have Gmod10, but I heard you can extract stuff from other source games into gmod10.

Yeah that's only if you own the game.
Seekay has writtenYou just need one source game.
Yeah you only need 1 game such as counterstrike to get the gcf files from counterstrike. I don't think it's legal to use file from games you do not own.
EDIT1: The GCF file was corrupt so I take my words back - it may work, but I found another way that works for sure, so I have CSS content.
