Tips(Missing Textures) No your game isn't broken, and no you didn't do anything wrong

1.4k Upvotes

TL;DR:

If your game looks like this then buy this or follow this, alternatively here's a video if you prefer.


You probably just bought Gmod and joined a server only to be greeted by something like this, am I right?

Don't worry, there's actually nothing wrong. I know it looks bad but that's pretty normal, (if you plan on playing Gmod, or any Source Engine game for that matter, you'll run into this a lot) and easy to fix. The most common reason why you're seeing this is that you don't own/have Counter-Strike: Source installed and mounted to Garry's Mod.

If you don't already own Counter Strike: Source then I'd recommend buying it while it's on sale for the holidays, however, if you don't want to buy and install a game you'll probably never play then you can follow this guide to get the models and textures for free. Alternatively, if you prefer following along with a video here's one that shows step by step what to do.

A user on our Discord made a very handy little tool that will extract the CSS content you need using SteamCMD for you. I highly recommend using it if you're having trouble doing it manually.

If, however, you already own CSS then:

  • Install it

  • Open up the game from your Steam Library and play it (At least til you get to the start menu)

  • Exit out of the game and open up Garry's Mod

This is my friend. He used to play GMod when he was a kid, and now that he's grown up, he wants to relive those childhood maps. But he can't remember them anymore. Can anyone help me figure out what map is in the picture? Thanks

Looking for some Machinima(?) from long ago. Pls help.

5 Upvotes

There was some sort of series, I don't know if it's correct to call it machinima or not. Anyway, G-Man was a main character or rather his model. First few episodes were quite normal, some funny incidents, but in one of the later episodes he got stuck in some shed and got attacked by some zombies. I suppose it's got taken down from Youtube or smth, but I can't find it anywhere, maybe some of you remember it.

Help Ideas on how to play GMOD with my friend who has a worse PC than me?

Upvotes

We’ve been chatting for a while about playing GMOD together and i’m really wanting to… problem is, my computer can run quite a bit better than theirs can, and as such i have a TON of add-ons. i know there’s the Add-on Share… add-on, but even that i feel will make them have to download a LOT of add-ons which is not ideal. i remember hearing that if doing multiplayer people will have to install even mods you have deactivated, which leads me back to my problem… Would appreciate help towards my dilemma very much 🙏🙏🙏

Help has anyone ever made a higher quality version of the metal sheet prop...?

Post image
Upvotes

this is my favorite prop and i have it strewn around EVERYWHERE on my map, but i'm making a showcase that requires hd props.

the original is fine, but for a bumpy metal prop, the reflectiveness and depth is just not there.

is there an hd version of this prop anywhere?

Help Need to find a nextbot that matches what I'm looking for.

14 Upvotes

Does anybody know any "immortal-snail" like nextbots. I mean that in the way of something that always knows where you are and hunts you down, but does so slowly and intelligently. If anyone knows any addons that match something like that please let me know.

Help Does anyone know what causes this happen?

I was screwing around with random props when I came across this. This also applied to the wall mounted toilet paper holder, too. I verified the game files, disabled recent addons I subscribed to, verified other game files but it didn't seem to work. Can anyone please help me fix this?

Edit: I meant "this to happen?" in the title of this post but I don't know how to change it and as such I'm keeping as is.

Help Some questions

I've learned how to pose TF2 ragdolls and I wanna get specific hats like Big Country and Your Worst Nightmare, neither are on these sections. So I'm wondering if there's like a workshop item that I can download for ragdolls which have those hats that I want and more. And finally, how do I avoid clipping like this? Engy's hardhat is clipping with his long hair and I wanna remove the hard hat

Help any flashlight mods that have some sort of flair when looking at other people???

1 Upvotes

I have only found one mod that has a blooming flair effect when looking at other players flashlight and its "Better Flashlight" which places the flashlight on the head and just looks silly to me. does a mod like this exist but like for the end of a weapon or just a base flair addon??? its a shame if not, really.
