Custom mounted directories pathnames

[lodyb]

My textures are organised something like:

.\cstrike\custom\lody\materials\lody

I typically store raw png/tga in here and drag them into VMT Editor to auto convert to VTF/VMT.

Games like Counter Strike will mount anything in custom as if it were included at the root directory.

However, VMT Editor is creating the $basetexture like this:

$basetexture "../custom/lody/materials/lody/texture"

This actually works in Hammer, but the textures like this do not get picked up for the inclusion list when packed.

My suggestion is to detect when the {game}/custom/{name}/{texture} directory is used and map it to {texture}

So in my example it would be:

$basetexture "lody/texture"

I have also noticed that the image preview works for the long name, but no preview appears for the shortened one.
