Im talking about Team Fortress 2, Portal, DoD, and other valve games. Like css why doesn't gmod have Tf2, portal or other weapons like the css weapons? It would be nice because I and many other people, wouldn't keep getting bugs and glitches with the tf2 sweps from gmod.org. It's just my opinion but if you have the game you should get the weapons and other props like Portal Turrets and cube automatically without having to download files that might be harmful to a pc. If you don't know what i mean im talking about, how css has weapons and props already. But if you want tf2 weapons you have to download a pack which might take up a bit more space than just adding it into an update.

Tl;DR - add props/sweps from games you own automatically without downloading possibly harmful files from the internet.

I think the point of all that is to promote Valve games or the Orange Box. Seriously, you should just buy that plus DoD:S and CS:S and you'd only drop $70. Keep in mind that's 7 games, so that's a perfect deal.
tl;dr: stop whining

It would be illegal to do so, mostly becuase GMod doesn't belong to Valve (hence it being a mod).

Anyone who is putting up files from TF2, Portal, or other Source games is doing so illegally. Until and unless Valve buy out GMod or gives Garry permission to use those games, it will not be possible.

Did you two read it? It's only doing it for games that the person owns.

Sorry, misread it; let me try again:

The Portal and TF2 engines are slightly different from the source engine that GMod uses. for example, they had to put in special coding in Portal that allow the player to change angles and coding in TF2 that let's only specific classes use certain weapons.

Until the two versions are merged, it will not be possible to get things from there into GMod without bugs.

Also, if you already own TF2 and Portal, you should automatically get the props (check in the Browse tab).

I know this is off-topic, but that really helped me with a question I had in another topic. Thanks!

Well you see, TF2 weapons are a bit more complicated than TF2 weapons. TF2 weapons can easily break with new updates and are a lot more tough to code.
