How can I get my models to download?

[Deathtitan77]

All the help I got so far is make a resources.lua file located in lua/autorun/server but what do I place in this .lua file?

You should really check out Gmod Wiki, and the mauritus archive of the old one.
It contains several 'gmod server 101' articles, including, a direct mention of the file you're asking about.
http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index411f.html#Forced_Downloads

ULX also has a downloads.txt, but, it's questioned in another thread whether it's working or not.
Our readme files give a path to check out for many options.

No truly good server admin should rely on XGUI alone.
Learn and know the behind the scenes capability of any mod you use.

[Deathtitan77]

Thank you for all the kind replies, will be responding after testing.

[Deathtitan77]

MrPresident's code seems to work perfectly fine, but any idea why the models are in a T pose?


Used the model over here:
http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=127679

Note: I only took out the material and the model files.

[MrPresident]

Are you sure that is a player model?

You can't just use any ragdoll as a player model. If it's not set up to be a player model it'll be a T pose.

[JamminR]

Additionally, if it's a Gmod12 model, GMod13 are different if I remember reading somewhere correctly.
(ie, most likely won't work)
The Source update Garry used increased some skeleton stuff in gm13.

[Deathtitan77]

It was a NPC, that's why it didn't work.
