Considering this program I made was originally intended for gmod and synergy servers, and maybe HL2 Deathmatch servers, you can use it for whatever you need it for, regarding source content, for machinima sounds or whatever.

What does it do?This program automatically extracts all required GCF content for HL2 and/or EP1, and/or EP2, in proper file order. to the SRCDS directory as well as allows updates and server download installation, utilizing HLDSUpdateTool, HLEXTRACT, and HLLib.

This program saves a LOT of time and frustration of manually extracting all the required content, for say, Synergy and Garry's Mod, as well as simplifies updating.

Oh wow this actually is very useful because gcfscape was being really buggy for me on windows 7, Thanks!

I appreciate it, if you or anyone come up with useful features to add to it, I could implement them.

On another note, you can try updating it via their website since the HLEXTRACT and HLLIB modules contained in this program were created by the creator of GCFScape.

 
A note to all users: Version 1.46 has just been released, due to me noticing that the Hl2 Pre-2007 source engine maps were failing to extract due to a missing extension in the extraction code.

The maps will now extract properly. ALSO: Version 1.5 just came out now, with a major GUI overhaul as seen in the first post. Checkout the SVN to update to it.

 
Old news relative to Facepunch Forums, but new news to here:

In case someone wanted to use the program, it has been majorly updated, and most of the information in this post is a mirror copy of what was said on the Facepunch Forums.
