Create a folder named CSS Content Addon. Garry's Mod Modding at its finest Discover addons, save games, demos, and more, and add them to Garry's Mod with a click of a button. In my case, it was located atĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons It should be somewhere, inside Steam’s folder. Wait a few seconds, close the ad, and download the file (~700MB). Download this zip package, which contains all the most used textures. Solution: you need to manually download and install all those textures. It seems that most gmod maps depend on a lot of Counter Strike textures, and for some weird reason they are not included in the installation. That’s because the map requires textures not included in the standard installation. If you join a multiplayer map you will most probably see the whole map covered on bright fuchsia/pink and black squares and ERROR messages. Now that you’re all geared up with your F6 key, get out there and start saving to your heart’s content.If you try to play Garry’s Mod right after you download and install it you’ll have a bad time. This will make a save state.īy the way, console commands can do other nifty things in Garry’s Mod, like turning on third person or kicking annoying players. Type in “gm_save” (without the quotation marks) and hit enter. Now you can bring up the console by hitting the tilde key on your keyboard (the little squiggle that looks like this: ~). Go into Advanced options and check mark the box that enables the console.
First, enable the console by heading to the Options section of the main menu. BUT, if you’d like to complicate the process, there is another method of saving your game.Īlternatively, you can use console commands. This is the simplest and easiest method, and probably the one you’re going to use. While in the game, simply hit F6 to quick save your game. There’s a faster way to do this, however. You can save by holding Q, bringing up the menu, and then clicking on the Saves tab towards the right.
Luckily, there’s an easy way to save your progress and make sure any of your project aren’t wiped. With all the hours you’ve probably put into Garry’s Mod, whether by creating or causing havoc, saving your game world is a must.
