• Private install of .gma possible?
    3 replies, posted
I took a couple furniture models I made a while back in Blender and successfully converted them and compiled them to .gma . I'm not sure that after the compile they will show right or be any good so I am apprehensive publishing them where they could be viewed by the public. I put the .gma files into /addons where my subscribed addons are but as you would expect gmod doesn't see them. Is there a way I can install the gma files without publishing them for testing? I'm still pretty noob and information seems very scarce or not straight forward (converting them wasn't fun). Either that or my google-fu is extremely weak. Thanks for reading :) .
Try dropping the models (NOT the .gma) directly into your models folder that way you can spawn them by searching in your spawnmenu. You have to start a singleplayer game to do this. If there's an issue with them they won't show up, which means the issue will carry over once packed into a gma.
Drop the .gma's outside of the addons/ folder. Either to common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/<your gmas here> or inside a folder in addons/, for example common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons/gmas/<your gmas here>.
That worked, thank you guys :) .
