How do you run Garrys Mod?

Answer 1

I have a video on you tube showing how to do this the link is

http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Y5cE12po_uk

All the files like server.cfg, adv loader and basic loader are on my website which is http://www.fireplay.co.UK

to make a garrys mod server properly liek server providers do you have to go to this link and download the server package from steam

http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.exe

now you have downloaded it install it to the place you want and select YOUR LOCATION not a differant one or it won't work.

now run the hldsupdate tool in the folder u made server in to get essential server files.

after create a shortcut of this file

go on properties on the shortcut then insert this WITH A SPACE after the current information in it but change the directory at the end to the directory you had chosen.

-command update -game garrysmod -dir C:\srcds

apply changes to the shortcut

run the shortcut and will say cannot find the files in the directory so it will start to write them if it doesn't load then check the DIRECTORY or the repeat instructions above

now the server has installed we need a basic loader for the server if it will not load from this try re-updating your server due to daily updates

Basic Server Loader:

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Load server and it will work fine but if it crashes it will not reload on its own.

Advanced Server Loader

@echo off

cls

echo Protecting srcds from crashes...

echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.

title srcds.com Watchdog

:srcds

echo (%time%) srcds started.

start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 16

echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.

goto srcds

Load server and it will work fine and it will reload on its own if it crashes.

Get a server.cfg and insert it into the cdf folder if you used the same directory as me it will be C:/srcds/orangebox/cfg

then reset your server for the changes to be set and there you have it your server is fully finished.

To find your server ip go to http://www.whatismyip.com and add the port 27015 or 27016 etc depending on your freeport but the easiest way is to go on steam and check servers go on the lan tab and view game info and look at the port information and ignore the ip because its you lan ip and ad the port to the ip on http://www.whatismyip.com

if you need to port forward i would recommend looking at http://www.portforward.com because it has a massive list of router and how to port forward your router.

Answer 2

First you buy the game of course

But it's not complete yet. You need a source for it.

Now sources include Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat.

Buying anyone of those will do the trick. Once bought you don't need ot do anything else. They will integrate themselves with Garrys Mod. So then you'll be able to play Garrys mod.

ITT: Buy TF2, Half Life, or Day of Defeat and there you go. i say you should buy team fortress 2 because its free.
