How do you download other peoples maps on GMOD?

[atomic7732]

I need to get a Weather Mod (tornado) and other cool things!

[Chaotic Cow]

Well, Maps most you just download and put them in your garrysmod/garrysmod/maps

Folder.

Weather Mod I beleive is an addon so you just stick it in your addons folder.

[atomic7732]

Confuzed now. 

Go to http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?tag=tornado

The first and second one on the left.

[atomic7732]

I downloaded the whole thing. I put it (the whole folder) in the maps and addon folder. I go to single player... hmmm... What do I see? The normal ones.

[Chaotic Cow]

I'm not sure. I never used Weather Mod.

[atomic7732]

... So... What about other ones? (Another day not playing GMod...)

Sorry... I said that because I am slightly irritated with my dad. When I am irritated at someone, I usually give some to everyone else (depending on mood).

I downloaded the whole thing. I put it (the whole folder) in the maps and addon folder. I go to single player... hmmm... What do I see? The normal ones.

Please re-read the quoe above, because I fear you have missed it. That is what I did. How do you do it?

I also looked in some places in the in game q menu.

I'm not constantly reading the forums.

After you stick it in Addons and start the game.

Check your Entities Tab?

[atomic7732]

I know but you were posting in other things, and not in here!

Entieties... Is that in the q menu? Or the main? I'll see in a minute.

[atomic7732]

Here's a good example:

http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=31863

This is a map. I think.

Where do i extract this to? maps folder? Then in the game, how do I find it! This game is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Boring when you have to wait 3... 4... WHO KNOWS HOW MANY days to actually have fun.

If you download something and it has a "Info.txt" in the folder.

You stick it in addons.

[atomic7732]

Just the info.txt?

Didn't work.

[Chaotic Cow]

Just the info.txt?

Didn't work.

No.

Example:  Let's say you downloaded SUPERMOD5 (Not a real mod/addon)

You look in the SUPERMOD5 folder and see a info.txt

So you stick the SUPERMOD5 into your addons folder.

Not just the info.txt

[atomic7732]

That is what I did. So now... Where would I look to load these things like above the WeatherMod. Please download it and make it work, and tell me how you did it so I can make it work.

You'll need Wiremod too.


http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod-general-chat/4-wiremod-svn-guide.html

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<Username>\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons

Thats where I put mine and it works.

It's in the Entities Tab in the Q menu.

Tornado you have to use wiremod to use.


This is a quote from Facepunch on how to use the tornado.

I found out how to make tornadoes spawn!!! I found this on the gm_tornadochase thread (btw I can't wait for the release!!! ). You need wire mod. You first spawn a Adv. Input. Make sure the toggleable is on. Then spawn a tornado. Get the wire tool out and move your curser over the tornado (shaped like a heli bomb). Right click. The first option is fire. You don't want that. You want the second option. Once thats up left click the tornado. Then left click the Adv. Input. RUN!!!!! The tornado has spawned!!! It's awefully big so look back on your "Increase" "Decrease" options in the Adv. Input menu. If you want it to decrease click the numpad key you selected to decrease. On the Adv. Input you will see the number 10 decrease slowly (you do not want it to reach 0 or it'll disapate). Once your at a number of your choice (3 or 4 around there I like) quickly press the increase numpad key and the tornado will stop getting smaller. Opposite to make it bigger (increase button, your number, decrease button).

I think it isn't showing up (enteties) because I don't have wiremod, but it should show up even if it doesn't work. Does that go for the track (above)?

3. Tip: Buy GMOD for the fraction of the cost on Steam: Deoxy Edition!

[atomic7732]

My problem now is... WHEN WILL IT BE DONE DOWNLOADING?  

Question: Does this add more items to GMod?

[Chaotic Cow]

Yes. Adds loads of things you can make if you learn to use Wiremod you can make awwesome stuff.
