Title: Is there somewhere to find help with mods?
Post by: usarmy on January 11, 2008, 09:28:49 AM

Hi,
I have a Gmod 10 server and I have tried installing a couple of cool packs,

All Vehicle Packs

Military Vehicle Pack

Anti No Clip

And they arent working, I pasted into the servers addons folder and its not working in game. I tried restarting the server map changes etc.
Thanks,
usarmy

Most of the addon packs have release threads on FacePunch forums, just like we have a release thread on this forum.
Perhaps you can find the threads of the addons you have and ask questions in those Facepunch forum threads.

By the way... I've seen many addons compressed files include paths that make it difficult to know exactly where to extract to if you aren't used to what to look for.
Some to garrysmod folder, some to addons folder. Some even get more difficult than that.
A true 'addon' will have an info.txt file inside of it.
I think one of the most confusing ones I've seen was pheonix mod. It had like phx/phx/info.txt
When I dropped phx folder into my addons folder, it didn't work of course.
Instead of addons/phx/phx/info.txt, I had to drag the middle phx folder to addons, making it addons/phx/info.txt

As for help with non-addon mod packs, you'll have to see the readme files or release threads
