Setting up DarkRP

[sandbag]

Hi Folks,

I've read A LOT of forum posts here about DarkRP but I still seem to be missing some key point about setting up and running the server in DarkRP gamemode.

Im a server admin for our gaming community and was asked to install this server. I know nothing about Gmod, but would appreciate any help and/or links you think may be helpful.

[B]Server.cfg[/B]
hostname "PR-Gaming.net DarkRP"
gamemode "darkrp"
rcon_password "xxxxx"
sbox_noclip "0"
sbox_godmode "0"
sbox_plpldamage "0"
rp_toolgun "1"
sbox_maxprops "1000"
sbox_maxragdolls "0"
sbox_maxeffects "0"
sbox_maxdynamite "0"
sbox_maxlamps "0"
sbox_maxthrusters "0"
sbox_maxwheels "4"
sbox_maxhoverballs "0"
sbox_maxvehicles "0"
sbox_maxbuttons "20"
sbox_maxemitters "0"
sbox_maxspawners "0"
sbox_maxturrets "0"

I DID have an autoexec.cfg with gametype darkrp in various combinations (capitalised, with and without quotes, with sv_, without) I have since removed it as I only found it mentioned in one thread.

[B]Command line to start server[/B]
./srcds_run -game garrysmod -ip xxx.xx.xx.xxx -port 27017 +maxplayers 20 +map gm_construct +gamemode darkrp

again I appreciate any help I can get at this point.

This is the server.cfg I use, and it works.
