• Best mods to get right off the bat?
    39 replies, posted
Hi, I just bought Gmod 10 and I was wondering what mods are recommended to have for build servers/independent building. Model packs, etc. are what I'm looking for. Thanks.
wire phx spacebuild model pack
If your not a ten year old, dismemberment mod, and also get Adv dupe, star gate and g combat, they are all pretty cool.
In addition to Prismatex, get Stargate.
[QUOTE=jmazouri;16405767]In addition to Prismatex, get Stargate.[/QUOTE] i should make a mod and name it after myself good idea
Oh, also a location to where I could get these would be awesome.
[url]www.garrysmod.org[/url] you can also use svn
Use SVN. Do not use garrysmod.org unless you can't find your content anywhere else. If you use garrysmod.org, you most likely will find loads of outdated content, that most likely will NOT work on other servers. Most servers use the most current wire and PHX from SVN.
DO not get Spacebuild Ever. Get PHX SVN. Wire SVN Unnofiical Wire Extras Extra NPC pack
[QUOTE=Soul-Chicken;16414898]DO not get Spacebuild Ever.[/QUOTE] Just because YOU can't use something, doesn't mean it's shit. Dumb or disagree ratings come from people who think Spacebuild or Wire or any other addon is shit because they are too fucktarded to use it. Bad Reading/Bad Spelling ratings come from people who don't know how to use the rating system. Also, get the "Look Back Through The GMod Discussion Forums" addon, you'll get all you need there

PHX can at least be useful for building a frame, SBMP just makes everything for you. A brain dead monkey could build a ship with SBMP. [editline]01:28PM[/editline] As for addons, Wiremod SVN PHX3 SVN SmartSnap Easy Precision Weight Stool Stacker Stool Conna's Tool Pack. Also, some links. To SVNs, for which you need an SVN client and some Garrysmod.orgs. Just copy and pasted this from my server MOTD. <li>GCombat08: "http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=35442"</li> <li>GCX SVN: "http://gcombat-extended.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GCX"</li> <li>PHX3 SVN: "https://phoenix-storms.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phoenix-storms"</li> <li>PHX3 Thread: "http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=488601"</li> <li>WireMod SVN: "https://svn.wiremod.com/svn/wiremod/"</li> <li>Wiremod Install Guide: "http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod-general-chat/4-wiremod-svn-guide.html"</li> <li>Wiremod Alternative Install: "http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod-general-chat/6349-super-easy-wire-download.html"</li> <li>Onslaught B15 Map: "http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=27641"</li>
Like others: (pretty much copying the above poster) Wiremod from SVN PHX3 from SVN SmartSnap Easy Precision (Very recommended) Weight stool Stacker stool These are not recommended by me, but you may need them to join a selection of servers: Gcombat Easy Engine Various Model packs

Hey, uh, what's SVN? I googled it but I have no idea exactly how to use it.

There is a very comprehensive tutorial in this section, made by Divran. I don't have a link, but it's not normally too hard to find.
Thanks.
Another "wut mds shud i gt/" thread. :suicide: I know you're new, and I deeply respect your good spelling and grammar, but there's [I]way[/I] too many threads like this, new to the forums or not.
for building: wire, phx for fun: garrys bombs 3
Someone should sticky one together then. A nice "getting started new to gmod?" like thing.
[QUOTE=DaltinWentworth;16470249]Someone should sticky one together then. A nice "getting started new to gmod?" like thing.[/QUOTE] Not a bad idea, but not going to happen :-/
Heres a question your probably wondering (unless its allready been said, im just too lazy to check) download winrar, then click the addon you want to download. then click open. once its been opened, right click the file and say: extract to the designated folder. extract it to: C:programfiles/steam/steamapps/[steamusernamehere]/garrysmod/garrysmod/ then addons folder for addons and maps folder for maps (its a good idea to extract maps to addons and the maps folder)
Dude get gm_botmap v3 and 2 they are good maps for building on singleplayer also, check out sled build,for wars,any DarkRP server, also try to stay away from dismemberment mod it can crash you if not installed correctly, OH and look for "gman" its an addon installer for gmod ^_^
Although spacebuild may be stupid, its worth getting it because when you go on a spacebuild server you want to see the other peoples ships, not just errors.
[QUOTE=supernub76;16532473]Although spacebuild may be stupid, its worth getting it because when you go on a spacebuild server you want to see the other peoples ships, not just errors.[/QUOTE] You mean if I want to go on a spacebuild server, I should download spacebuild? Sir, you have blown my mind.
these idiots r giving u WAY to complicated stuff no wire wire is complicated as F**K. i suggest the ultimate vehicle pack, some css sweps (guns) dismemberment mod or gibmod, i prefer gibmod. and if u dont want to go thru the headachees of SVn use garrysmod.org. its slow as hell but if u use it at night, it seems to go faster. (less ppl on maybe?)
Besides Wire SVN and PHX3 SVN, you will want some helpful mods like SmartSnap and Stacker, they help a lot while building. [url]http://gmodsvn.extra.hu/[/url] This site has loads of SVN stuff that the servers may have, from simple things like SmartSnap, to heavy things like PlayerModels and gamemodes, so you don't have to download it directly from the server, thus causing lag ;)
For building: phx,wire,bouyancy,and gcombat For fun: Your mom and penis mod :P

By your logic, if someone used Easy Precision to make a to-scale, highly detailed tank, Easy Precision is too complex for a new player to use. :buddy:
