it is very simple.
-download tortoise svn
-make a new folder on the desktop called "wiremod"
nowhere
when you download an addon, put in in program files, steam, steamapps, <your user name>, garrysmod, garrysmod, addons. extract all files to this folder.
Whatever type of addon it is you put it in this folder: C/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/{username}/Garry's mod/Garry's mod/addons/ Assuming you have windows, i don't know about Macs so you should have specified.
Right basically you can make many different things and then put them in an addon so firstly: How to build a gmod addon: 1. create a folder which will go in the gmod addons folder(lets pretend you call it downloaded-map) 2. create more folders inside this folder named after where you would normally put stuff, not making sense? Well basically i mean take for example a map file (.bsp) and you put it in steamapps\garrysmod\garrysmod\maps To do this with an addon you would put a folder named maps inside your addon folder(named anything but downloaded-map in this case) and put the map file(.bsp) inside maps steamapps\garrysmod\garrysmod\maps\downloadedmapfile.bsp is the same as: steamapps\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons\<my addon>\maps\downloadedmapfile.bsp and once you've done that you put a text file(create 1) inbside your addon folder and call it info.txt then inside the text file you have to put the following: (but eveything between the {} is optional) "AddonInfo" { "name" "my addon name" "version" "1 or 2 or 3 etc" "up_date" "what ever date you want in any format numbers or letters or symbols" "author_name" "whatever your name is" "author_email" "put you email addy here if you want" "override" "1 means it overwrite anyfiles with the same name 0 means it doesnt if you don't know what your doing don't include this" } any of the above is between the { and } is optional for the full lsit of commands search on Google! And to make weapons is an entirely different thing you have to learn a code called Lua lookup "how to make a gmod swep" on Google to find tutorials.
well its just like addons really but if you are using garrys mod 10 theres a mp3 player addon and you can add your own music and sounds but theres a soundthing calledEasy Use BILLY MAYS EXOSOUNDSsearch that on garrysmod.org and download it then transfer the easy use billy..... folder with all the files in it to [if you use the steam version] program files/steam/steamapps/your user name/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons. just look for the folder addons in garrys mod folder if you torrented or not using steam- program files/valve/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons.check youtube too
Addons are quite simple to install into Gmod 10/11:-Firstly you need a properly structured addon (should be a folder containing other folders and a text file called "info.txt". The text inside "info.txt" should also be structured properly. As long as the maker of the addon has done this, all you need to do is copy the folder to:%SteamDirectory%\steamapps\%SteamUsername%\garrysmod\garrysmod\addonsTo clear things up:-%SteamDirectory% means the folder that steam is installed to. This is usually something like "C:\Program Files\Steam".-%SteamUsername% is your steam user name (the name you use to log into steam)-There are two "garrysmod" folders there for a reason, i havent just made a mistakeAs long as the addon has been made correctly and you have followed the steps above, the addon should be loaded next time Garry's Mod starts. To check without actually starting a game, click 'Extensions' on the main menu and then click 'Addons'. The name of the addon should be somewhere.Earlier versions of Gmod (Like Gmod 9) work slightly differently, but theres plenty of forums/sites out there to help if you google it.
You put it in garrysmod\garrysmod\addons
Go to windows explorer (go to my computer). Browse to where you installed steam. For example "C:\Program Files\Steam" and from there click on the folder called steamapps, then your username, then click on the garrysmod folder, and inside that click on another garrysmod folder, this is where the garrysmod files are. For example: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<username>\garrysmod\garrysmod
I'm not sure which gamestartup file. But you can have background music when you start garrysmod, this file is gamestartup.mp3. The file can be placed here: <STEAM USERNAME>\garrysmod\garrysmod\sound\ui Hope this helps.
on addons ( steam/steamapps/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons)
It depends on what you want to download, first get what you want to download off of garrysmod.org Maps go in the steam/steamapps/(username)/garrysmod/garrysmod/maps file addons go in the steam/steamapps/(username)/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons file
when you have downloaded an add on, extract the file to: :C/Program Files/steam/steamapps/<your user name>/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons. you put in maps to : :C/Program Files/steam/steamapps/<your user name>/garrysmod/garrysmod/maps.
