O.P. Is it possible to link a file to another file?
Ok, here's the deal:

I go (well I actually used to go, but that's not a big deal :P) to an internet cafe that has a valve cyber cafe account, and I use that service to play Counter Strike: Source.
That's fine, but the problem is, that, before I play, I have to download the required files to play, which are a couple of GBs. They have made a program to do that automatically, but you need to wait 10-15mins before you can play.
The program copies the files from a network computer. I have traced down the location from which the files get copied.
So, I was wondering, is it somehow possible to make "fake" files, which once accessed, they will return the data of an actual file that I have selected?
By this way, I can make files that will point to the original files, and by that way, I won't need to wait for the files to get copied! :banana:

I know that, if I manage to do that, the game will run a little slower, but, I think that it's worth the try... :)


Thanks.....
