Aighty, so I got a problem with garry's mod currently where apparently multiple different types of textures and models from HL2 (including the episodes) are either missing or replaced with HL1 shit - even though I 100% have the games involved properly mounted and the actual files carefully checked.

An example can be seen here;

from the looks of the screenshot above, one of the citadel cloud textures from EP1 seems to have been replaced by another texture which resembles a texture from HL1 in my eyes. In addition to this "error", when I attempt to spawn in the NPCs the G-Man and Barney, they surprisingly spawn in as the models from HL1 instead.

I have done all that I can to erase and find the issue that is causing this transgender shit. Verifying all of the involved games' cache files doesn't work, literally deleting all files manually and reinstalling the games from scratch and disabling all addons doesn't work either.

please, help a fellow member of this community out aye?
