Hi everyone, this may be a dumb question, but I am trying to solve a problem by deleting Garrys Mod and completely reinstalling it. I want it to come up with the 'first time installation' when I click to run it the first time, so I thought deleting the Garrys Mod folder from the steam folder would do this for me but it didn't.
Is there more places where Garrys Mod keeps its files?
If so where can I find them
Thanks
google a bit, theres a programm that fully cleans your steam and removes old install files.
Dunno if its allowed, but incase you're lazy, click -->[URL="http://aezay.dk/aezay/steamsweeper/"]HERE[/URL]<--

Isn't the first-time installation just for things like DirectX? Reinstalling those is extremely unlikely to fix your issues. Deleting local content and maybe remove any leftover files (like downloads and addons) in ../Steam/SteamApps/common/Garry's Mod should be enough to completely uninstall the game.

Use the tool I posted above to clear steam (AFTER deleting garrys mod localy), then reinstall and poof.

i don't get it though, this program just deletes the directx that is located in 'D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\_CommonRedist'

No, thats an example image, you can set custom paths, check what it shall check for etc, by default it'll check for all install files it needed from the /steam/directory, including directx etc, and you also can make it delete the _commonRedist dir from games. Just try it and look for yourself.

I tried it, deleted basically everything, but no first time install :(
I'm giving up with this problem now because I seem to be the only one with it xD

What exactly is the problem? Is it just a problem with ShadowPlay? Is it only with Garry's Mod? What makes you think reinstalling Garry's Mod will fix anything? What are you trying to fix by reinstalling Garry's Mod?
Is ShadowPlay not working in Garry's Mod for you? Are you running the game on your NVidia graphics card? Are you running the game in fullscreen mode? ( Shadowplay won't work in windowed mode if "your desktop is running on another graphics card", such as Intel Graphics on Laptops )
Have you tested to make sure Shadowplay isn't doing the same thing on other games? - Might be a stupid question, I'd hope you'd have checked.

Also, as above, what is the actual problem?

Yes to all of your questions, and it works on all my other games, just not garrys mod... :(

My problem is that I can open up any other game on my PC, and the shadowplay symbol appears, indicating it is ready to record, but it does not do that for Gmod anymore, and I have tried literally everything, from re-installing drivers with DDU to re-installing DirectX

Run Garry's Mod in full screen. Try adding -dxlevel 95 to launch parameters

This is the last thing that comes to my mind that could cause your problem.

I'm moving on to OBS now which is a million times better, but thanks anyway mate

OBS doesn't do the same as Shadow Play as far as I know. The main feature of shadow player other then on-demand recording is the ability to save the last X minutes of game-play without having to have hit record first. The 'constant' recording.

But if it's doing what you need it to then sure :P
