hello, I have been trying to create a general library on another hard drive that I would be able to search under the asset browser for greater variety in textures and assets mostly when working on projects, I tried creating a symlink from my personal materials folder into the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo_addons\project1 but nothing showed up after a restart in the asset browser csgo_addons/project1 mod. I was wondering if I just targeted the wrong folder or what the better alternative to this would be if my desired method isn't possible/ideal. Sorry if this is a common question, I tried looking up other threads but was not able to find much
Thanks

I don't believe it's possible to have a library that can be used in multiple addons

#

I think you have to have them in each addon

What's the best course of action then? Drag a large folder into each addon, cause I'm assuming you also mean symlink wouldn't work

you can use stuff like mega/dropbox for your addons but II'm not realy sure about the best way of making assets go from one project to another in the best way

pretty sure you can do it with a junction

#

mklink /j

the junction worked perfectly, my only other problem is that I have alot of .VMT and not .VMAT lmao
