How is it possible to let the game run even when the user does not have the AppID purchased and/or installed. In Garry's Mod it works fine in just showing error models, but if I don't error check the Mount Content calls in my mod then I get a popup informing me the AppID, is missing,etc. Does he possible search for the .gcf file to see if one exists for that AppID and only try to mount if one was found?
