Hi. I uploaded the Obsidian Conflict Mounting stuff me and Hyperjag3 wrote.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z5znn0gjjmn Just use a file comparison software to determine the changes. Everything should be in that rar but if it isn't let me know. I hope in the future we can just release all the OC code. Our gameinfo block looks like this: FileSystem { SteamAppId 218 ToolsAppId 211 SearchPaths { Game |gameinfo_path|. Game |all_source_engine_paths|hl2 } } Anyway the code should be helpful since we got dynamic mounting running and working. There is the issue with clearing the material cache on ATI cards though, which you will notice is worked around with the static mounting. Valve would have to fix that on the engine I believe, or perhaps the ATI driver is to blame. Hard to say, maybe its no longer an issue. Cheers!
