<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
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.

Then if it has purple and black squares , the materials are missing , check if their materials are in the folder

What do you mean that? you mean the .exe file of Garry's mod?
If you have that problem when trying to open the game, simply right click in gmod when you are in steam , and press properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache

nikoiro In reply to toastyymarshmallow [2016-01-29 03:20:15 +0000 UTC]
??? it is not suppose to have gone all your addon stuff , Verifying the integrity of game cache just makes check all the files of your game if something is corrupted or missing (not existing)
i dont think that could make dissapear all your addons
also if you suscribe your addons in the workshop , isnt suppose to re-download all the addons if they are not downloaded inside the game?

nikoiro In reply to AndyPurro [2016-01-15 15:02:26 +0000 UTC]
Did you tested the addon after install at least only the models folder?
sometimes the addons can use the required content from source game available (example , portal , l4d2 , etc) in this case , if problems gets on the textures obviously (black&purple textures) , talk to the author.

yo m8 i has a question, what if the thing u downloaded didnt have a materials and/or models folders?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nikoiro In reply to Dunkle-S [2016-01-09 01:29:20 +0000 UTC]
well , it will have common errors , we can tell , not having the materials or models folders with the stuff inside , it has differences of problems
When you dont have Any material incluyed inside or literally the folder is not longer here , the model will still work , except the fact you can see as textures "black&Purple Squares" , that tells you the specific texture place is missing
When The model is not incluyed , the problem will be bigger , as the model that you want to see , it cannot be spawned ,
also it affects when you download a map and needs a model , which you dont have ,and opening that map , you can see the "Error" model , which is the place that the specific model is missing

Dunkle-S In reply to nikoiro [2016-01-09 01:35:09 +0000 UTC]

your problem is completely simple ,you can check in my F.A.Q , second question , and see the number 3 of the reason
you must wait until someone must port it to the current game in this case SFM > GMOD

nikoiro In reply to AhhhhhhhhhhhhhSoupz [2015-11-29 02:28:27 +0000 UTC]
Sadly i need to know what specifically doesnt work.
if you mean it doesnt appear , be sure you have it suscribed in workshop &/or check if its installed the addon inside the game in addons
if your game is non-steam (you didnt brought the game via steam) sorry but i can help you in this situation
You can check The Description &/or Discussions of that addon for more info
