I dont who or who doesn't own it, but i need help. Whenever i download an addon for garrys mod ( let's say a weapon pack, SWEP ), the models always are either the "ERROR" sign or a black&pink checker box. Any help on this? BTW if it helps, i put most of my addons in C/rogramfiles/steam/username/steamapps/garrysmod/garrysmod folder. unless it says otherwise in the file.
o, but it's only with weapons, i can't "spawn" them and do this. when i give myself a weapon it has two big red boxes at the top corners of my screen. it still shoots, but i can't see the gun and sometime theres no sound
You're probably putting the mesh and/or textures in the wrong place. Make sure that when you're extracting the files that the meshes go in the mesh folder and the textures go in the texture folders. This similar problem happened to me in Oblivion but oblivion had giant yellow boxes with exclamation marks on them.
I'm sorry guys, but talk of game mods aren't allowed on Forgehub. Can't really help you either, I've only ever played modded Halo 3 maps and they're all **** so yeah :/
Garry's mod's like, ultra popular. It's like Halo CE in terms of modding popularity. It play similar to L4D in terms of engine. This not helping.. Uhrm.... I haven't got it... can't help. Sorry
Technically not all mods are illegal. I don't know about Gary's mod however, I'm guessing it's legal due to popularity. For instance, Bethseda often puts direct links to popular mods for their games on their sites. I know bungie takes a hard stance on modding. So it may just be their games are not supposed to be talked about in regards to mods.
It's a mod, but so is counter strike ( half life mod. ) And you pay for the game. Anyways, i don't think valve wouldn't want people to play it if they sell it on steam...
Really Gmod's fine, yes its a mod, but is it modding halo 3? No its for a comply diffrent game series and platform. so people stop complain really. For the problem there may be some problems. One if the Addons mooches off a game thats not installed it wont work. Also a graphics card may be a problem (unlikely but still). Also if its an addon (when specified) it should go into the addon folder. This also may be a problem of wrong placemet. Hope this helped at all.
Allright, Garry's Mod isn't illegal, why would Steam sell it? Anywho, with your issue, you have to put your downloads in the addons folder. From there you can go ingame, for example gm_flatgrass, press Q (or whatever you switched it to). then click weapons on the top bar. You can spawn weapons as props too, but you cant pick them up ( as far as I know). Here I have my weapons just extract the .zip to the addons, it'll look like this: Sorry if that image was too large. Anywho, you can see that the "Chainsaw Gun V2" is in my addons and it appears in weapons. If I click on it it'll equip, if the file of course doesn't work, you won't have a weapon or something crappy will happen. Hope I helped.
Okay, it looks like we're running into a bit of confusion here. There are mods, and then there are hacks. I believe what Epicfishfingers is talking about us not being allowed to discuss on forgehub are 'hacks'- game modifications that change a game in some way that the original developers did not intend, or which they would not approve of. Modded and hacked maps for Halo 3 are against Bungie's TOS. A "Mod Chip" for an Xbox is not technically a mod in the sense that we're speaking- it's an illegal hardware modification. Personally, I don't support this kind of modification, and I laugh at anyone who gets banned from a game for taking part in it. Interface Mods for World of Warcraft, and mods for Oblivion, or for Half Life 2, or for Warcraft III, and ANY mod that is sold on Steam are NOT illegal- Either they are developer supported or developer approved. So, 'modding' in the sense of 'hacking' is what we're not allowed to discuss- talking about 'mods' such as Gmod or Counter Strike does not break any rule that I am aware of.
This isent a debate for "If Gmod is a Mod or not" He has a problem with Gmod and needs a solution to it. Stop spamming this thread over if its a mod or not, really.
I already posted the solution. Would it now be wise to close this thread? Or does it not work that way here.. >_<
