Garry's Mod

[Ori]

I'm surprised there isn't a active GMod thread right now, especially since 13 is just out.

For those who don't know, Garry's Mod is the physics sandbox Source game by Garry. What makes it so interesting is the huge amount of add-ons that it has (which probably are 45% or more broken since 13's lua changes. Thanks for nothing, Garry.) and the freedom of the gameplay. You have the tools. You have the vanilla props and you can port more. Now it's up to you. You can build anything from crazy mechas to comics or funny pictures with GMod, and it all takes just a hour or so to get used to, if you are used to FPS games. If you have anything interesting to share here, like a add-on you or a friend made, be sure to share it here.

And if you are one among the huge mob of people that hate Garry for breaking everything, grab a lead pipe or a bomb... Tell you what, grab a pipebomb and make sure to throw it tied to your rant. That's right, i guess it's relevant to rant a bit about the useless changes that broke everything here. Just no drama.

Okay, i guess that's what i have to say for now. I have some screencaps at my Steam account (little Steam square at sig), so if you want, go on, take a look and be sure to leave a comment.

(In a unrelated noob side note, i have no idea how to put models into GMod 13, so if you are in know of this, be sure to tell me. Uh.)

And before i forget; If you have anything SF-related in GMod, DO SHARE IT HERE

As much as i would like to bash garry over the head with an oversized mallet, the changes he has brought with gmod 13 outweigh the amount of broken mods. From what ive noticed the game loads significantly faster, despite the amount of mods i have installed. And if a mods doesnt work, i dont need to hunt through my gmod folder to see if i cant erase every scrap of it. The tool box was a great idea, but the fact that the mods you downloaded couldn't be accessed unless you went into the gmod folder from the spawn menu made things complicated. The new system allows for easy removal of addons that dont work/suck.

As for Starfox mods, i know Onewingedangel/fallenangel used a few star fox models, but the person he got them from was never going to put them up for download anyway so i don't see those ever seeing the light of day.

I don't care about the broken mods XD, I didn't use too many of them anyway. The mods I used were largely ragdolls that I would pose and make cool scenes with. On another forum I'm on, we had a screenshot thread for Gmod. Even though technically this isn't a screenshot thread, have some screenshots anyway!

Movie time!

Rampage!

Who let her into the test chamber!?

The Merchant of Death(And Waffles getting OWNT by a prop)

How Matrixesque

A nice shot of shells falling and landing on the ground

Actually models aren't so broken since apparently you just need to rename info.txt in addon's folder to addon.txt. I'll have to try that later.

Who let her into the test chamber!?

1. Haha, LOL! I can even hear that on Kleiner's voice! XD

2. Now, i wanna see someone be the dork i was and happen to manage to do that in ported BMS maps to GMod 13. (I didn't get to share it because it wasn't in addon format. And was really buggy anyway.)

3. It seems that there are apparently about 4 people who originally had that model. I searched for it since eons ago. (Oh god, my eyes never burned so much if not with all the crap i've seen in such searches) Lucky you, Kage. Lucky. You. *Turns all shades of green in envy*

4. Now, you guys will probably all hate me for this (especially the author of that good model, and i sincerely say sorry in advance), but... any... You know... chance you could... like... upload that one... please?

[Arashikage]

Unfortunately, I am unable to upload that model as the creator wanted it to be a private thing or some bullshit(And technically I'm not supposed to have it). If I do have it, I can see what I can do, but I don't remember if I accidentally got rid of it in the Great Gmod Purge of 2011 or not.

[Ori]

@Kage: Oh well then. Dunno if it's right to be asking this but thanks anyway. Tell me if you manage to find something.

But in other news, GMod 13 apparently already has some devs 'patching' their stuff to 13, like ApocHedgie or Sakarias88. So that's already good.

Also, apparently there are some ways to convert .msh objects to other file formats, which can be ported into .mdl format. Long story short: .msh files are meshes from Orbiter, so i can see in a soon-ish future someone packing up some cool Orbiter spacecraft (Like the XR2 or DGIV) and putting it into GMod. I would've done it before, if i had any clue for modelling and texturing...

I want to learn how to use Garry's mod and how and where to download some of that created contect to use in the mod.

Can anyone in this website help me with this?

I guess that will do until you get into add-on creation. Help you with that, i cannot.

And about downloading content, it is available in the Steam Workshop.

I don't actually know much of GMod 13 since i didn't actually get to try it out much. (Especially since i am procrastinating avoiding it due to something you may already have noticed i'm doing/trying to do)
