First "ttorial" (niko pls)

This tutorial is only for Steam user's that they already puchased the game ,I Created This tutorial for the help of those users who doesnt know how to install a non-workshop addon , due to The Latest Gmod's Updates


Extended Spawnmenu: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles…

<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Questions and answers


Q: Why i need The Workshop Addon "Extended Spawnmenu"?

A: Extended Spawnmenu is a Add-on Script which add Abilities at your Spawnmenu
in this case , one of them gave us the ability to Install Addons in the old style of the gmod (Before The rise of gmod workshop)}
and find them easily via folder legacy addons on the spawnlist

Q: Why the addon I Installed Doesn't Load?

A: There are 2 Reasons
    1-The addon doesn't have The Folder "Models" which it cause the addon not work completely
    2-You installed Incorrectly the folder "Models" And/or "Materials"
    3-the addon is not compatible with the game ,and only works with another (example ,SFM)



Q: When i spawn a Model , it Has Black&Purple Squares , Why this happened?


A: V
     1-.if the addon asks a Source game content like team fortress 2 , portal or Counter strike Source  , be sure to have them installed at garry's mod , if not ,you have to puchase Their games or alternative , find a page which they can give you the content
     2-. Materials are corrupted or wrong placed (example ,bad directory from the materials)



Q: When i Spawn a Model , its invisible , why it is not showing while the ragdoll is still there?

A: Its because it probably is not compatible with your game , example , The Ragdoll/prop is for only SFM
In this case ,just find another addon that has compatibility of the model
If it says is compatible with Garry's Mod , Contact with the Author of the Model



Q: My Garry's Mod is non-steam (Game not puchased , or pirated game) , how can i get that addon from the workshop?

A: You can follow my new Tutorial Here GmodTutorial #2-Installing Addons For Gmod Pirated



Q: My Addons are not appearing!, How can i fix it!?

A:-Be sure to check That you have installed Correctly the Required Workshop Addon so the Folder "Addons Legacy" would appear
   -Check that your non-workshop addons are Correctly located in The Addons folder with their names , and their "Models & Materials" Folders



Q: My Game Crashes Every spawn , What did you do!!?!?!

A:Im not responsible of any problem you get when installing your non-workshop addon, you must be clear that the addons are uploaded and created from "their creators" , and you must check if they dont have any common problems



Q: Does maps Works too?

A:Yes , But maps has a different Installation for have them in your game,do the next , When you are inside the Game's folder , get in The Folder Garrysmod , and then instead of clicking the folders  "addons" , put your .Bsp File to The Folder "Maps" ,if in any case it has too a .nav file , put it also inside "maps" folder , it will be needed in case you want to do something with The bots in the fact of movement



<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->



If nothing of those questions are here , please comment down so i will try my best to answer.

I don't have folders in the addons, just files. The ones I'm putting in are addons that are on workshop, but I'm not subscribed to (too many to bother with trying to find them all.)

there's a green circle when they are in game, anyway to make them physical objects like ragdolls?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nikoiro In reply to JasonDaBomber [2018-03-17 19:46:35 +0000 UTC]

If the object has a Green circle ,it means that the prop is a "effect prop" where they dont have collisions of the model itself except probably the green circle and you can only move it with the physgun
eeh ,about making them physical objects like a ragdoll, I don't know more of than knowledge, try to ask someone that has better experience in modelling

Have you tried checking the player model panel? maybe they are actually inside , or it's just a problem.

I have an "Addons Legacy" folder, and I have downloaded 2 addons from DA. However, I don't have a + next to the folder, so it won't let me view the addon list.

GrayDaKing [2017-11-12 05:31:38 +0000 UTC]

I followed every instruction exactly and my all my models spawn as a green circle with no "invisible ragdoll". When I select "Edit Bones" the bones for the models do show up.

nikoiro In reply to GrayDaKing [2017-11-17 04:55:45 +0000 UTC]

The green circle would instantly tell us that instead of a physical prop/ragdoll model, it's instead an Effect Prop, example, particles in-game that are from designing purposes at maps, or other stuff.
In general, probably the model has been bad ported or something, ask the author for any help.

lorddeathv [2017-09-18 18:19:19 +0000 UTC]

I've got a question. I don't have an "Addons Legacy" folder, however, my addons still function. However, there are some addons listed in the Extended Spawnmenu as "Incorrectly Installed Addons." They appear to have the models and materials folders, so I'm not sure why they're listed as not working. They also won't load. Can you help?

Hello , i would like to see it in a image ,if you can send it here ,thanks :^)
meanwhile , when you said about the addons legacy folder ,you meant in-game (Spawnlist menu)? or in the game's directory?

Where is the "Legacy Addons" option in the spawn list? I can't find it and ONLY the mods from workshop show up.

Any chance of a screenshot?

Thanks

nikoiro In reply to Wikkid1 [2017-09-22 20:23:22 +0000 UTC]

greetings , for sadly ,i dont have a screenshot where you can clearly see the location of the folder in-game , Due to not having installed Garry's mod in these moments.
However, i could technically show you another screenshot but just "edited" of where it is supposed to be located
The Legacy addon folder should appear inside the "Browse" category
probably in few days i can share you another screenshot where it actually shows the folder with its addons ,for now ,hope this would help.
if it doesnt show the folder ,probably something is happening at the workshop addon ,if anything contact me.
Thank you

nikoiro In reply to kirlta [2016-09-10 01:57:15 +0000 UTC]

If Your model Has An Error Model , that must mean that the model is missing , be sure it has their models and read the descriptions of the addon you just downloaded , maybe it asks you To have As Requeriment one or more of the Source games (Example , Counter Strike Source ,Portal,HL2:EP2 , etc.)
