Hey spbogie,
That's correct, they worked through the console, but I didn't get a spawn category. VMF Loader/CopyGun and my eSwep menu showed up, but not uSwep. I thought that ESwep might be the problem (don't ask why, there really wasn't any logic behind it) so I removed it and was left with no ESwep or USwep. Unfortunately this is the least of my problems.
I jumped the gun and upgraded my server to GMOD10 when it was released. Unfortunately during this process I was not aware that GMOD10 linux binaries haven't been released! So basically I deleted my GMOD9 directory and didn't have anything to replace with...
Now I am left without any server at all. I will try this again as soon as I'm done reinstalling GMOD9.
I really appreciate your interest in my problem.
P.S. (offtopic)
I wish there was an ETA from Garry on when linux binaries will be out for GMOD10...
