Now open your own garrys mod folder; for this: open steam go to Libary rightclick on Garry's Mod click on properties click on local files click on Browse Local files; in your own garrysmod Folder open the garrysmod folder open the Steam.inf File in here, too; now copy the text in there with Crtl + C or Strg + C. About a month ago a Garry's Mod update was released. Just today / yesterday another. What makes this one and the other one mentioned special, is that the last one came along with a user agreement. I read through it and accepted. However I came across a part that stood out to me.
Subversion (often abbreviated SVN is the source code control system used by most of GMOD. Source code control systems, also known as revision control or version control systems are used to record changes to computer files. GMOD's main source code repository is at SourceForge.
This page explains how to both download and update the main GMOD repository at SourceForge. For more on SVN itself see the Subversion Home Page and the official Subversion Book.
SVN is used by GMOD developers to update the components. SVN is also used by some GMOD users, most of whom never modify any GMOD code. GMOD users access SVN when they want to get component source code so they can use the latest development version of that component, without having to wait for the next official release. Please note, however, that components pulled from SVN are development versions, and may not always work as expected.
Browsing SVN Repositories
GMOD SVN repositories can be browsed via web: http://gmod.svn.sourceforge.net/gmod/.
SVN Read-only Access
The GMOD SVN repository can be checked out through anonymous SVN with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified in place of PROJECTNAME.
See http://gmod.svn.sourceforge.net/ for available GMOD projects in SVN repositories.
You can then get updates with the svn update command.
SVN Developer Access
Steam Workshop Garry's Mod
Developer access uses the same URLs as read-only access. When performing write operations, you will simply be prompted for your SourceForge.net username and password. To perform write operations, a GMOD project administrator must have granted you write access to the repository.
Legacy CVS Read-only Access
GMOD has migrated all projects from CVS to Subversion as of September 15, 2009. See the CVS to Subversion Conversion page.
How To Update Your Gmod Server
The old GMOD CVS repositories can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter or Return key.
If you need to check out a particular revision/tag in the repository, add -r tag_name to the command. For example, if you needed the 'stable' branch of the GBrowse repository, you would do this in your checkout command:
See http://gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net/ for available CVS repositories.
You can then get updates with the cvs update -d command (the -d command tells CVS to get any new directories that have been added to the repository since the last update).
GMOD CVS repositories can also be browsed on the web: http://gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net/gmod/.
Automatic Downloads
All Multiplayer content *SHOULD* be downloadable by simply joining the server with your multiplayer server downloads turned on.
*HINT: Sometimes after joining the first time your GMod needs to restart to load everything properly. If you are missing a lot of content when you first join, give your GMod a restart.*
Manually Subscribing to Collections
THIS WILL NOT MAKE JOINING THE SERVERS FASTER. IT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT A LOT SLOWER.
What you can do for this is simply go to the server's website you are trying to join and look for their collection pack.
Find the server you are trying to play on and hit subscribe to all at the top.
Ensure you open your gmod and let all the files download. There should be a loading bar at the bottom of the screen showing progress.
After the downloads finish, go ahead and restart your game so that everything is loaded properly for joining the server.
How To Update Gmod Manually
Join the server once you reopen your game and enjoy no errors.
Download CSS Content
Sometimes maps do not pack all their content into the maps the way most of us like. When they use CSS content this is even bigger of an issue. This can be fixed by downloading CSS Content at https://gmodcontent.com/. After downloading just extra, drag, and drop it into your garrysmod folder and restart your game.
Gmod Latest Version
GMOD Reinstall
In late January 2020, GMod released an update that changed the way that workshop and addon downloads are handled. If you have not done so since then I would HIGHLY *HIGHLY* recommend that you reinstall your full gmod to ensure that there are no conflicts.
Now, this does not just mean going into steam and hitting uninstall and reinstall.
You will need to manually delete some files to ensure you have the freshest install.
First, uninstall in steam as you would normally do.
Then, go into your program files and locate the Garry's Mod folder. Mine looks like this D:steamappssteamappscommonGarrysMod
- Delete that whole folder.
Next, navigate to your workshop downloads folder which is now saved in a new location. Here is what mine looks like D:steamappssteamappsworkshopcontent4000
- Delete that whole folder as well.
Now you are all set to reinstall through steam and can start back at step 1 if you are missing content.
Main Takeaways
How To Update Gmod Client
- Sometimes, if you can't see certain content a simple restart of your game can fix it.
- Keep your custom downloads on regardless unless you want to be missing content on every server you go on (I know some people don't like all the storage but don't complain about missing stuff if you have custom downloads turned off).
- Reinstall your GMod.
- Frees up unused addons as well!
