Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Mounting would be great because copying an entire 28GB game is not nice

Describe the solution you'd like
Posibility to mount tf2 games files for team comtress 2

Describe alternatives you've considered
i have copied the gameinfo.txt from the tffolder of my tf2 install and copyed it on the tf folder of team comtress 2, i modyfied it so anything pointing to a tf2 vpk file would point to a vpk file of my tf2 install, hoewer it did nothing when trying to launch with start_tf2.bat or hl2.exe

While convenient in some cases, it might obfuscate the project a bit too much, and cause unintentional bugs.

We might revisit this in the future, but for now we're going to stick with duplicate game files, for ease of development and debugging.

You can probably make symbolic links instead of copying files, but it might be too much trouble to be worth it.
