I realise i'm a little late to the party, but I only just got a pc capable of playing garry's mod...
Theres a few issues i've been having problems with and wasn't sure where I was supposed to post for advice, I hope this is the right area 0.o
For now I only have left4dead and garry's mod (I will be buying the complete valve set soon) yet on garry's mod I have a lot of the half life items, but nothing from left4dead .. How can I import the items I have from left4dead .. and will I have to do this for all source games?
So far i've only really played single player, just getting to grips with the basics, i'm having a bit of trouble with the face modeller, it doesn't seem to be worknig for me at all, I right click a face to get the circle over it, but have no idea how to edit it as anything I try doesn't change the expressions.
I've seen a lot of user generated content that I really like, and have managed to download and get a decent amount of maps working for me. But i'm not quite sure what to do with the extracted files for NPC's and weapons. Most of the packs I have downloaded haven't had Read Me files so i'm a little confused as to where I should be putting the items.
For example I just downloaded dans_snpcs-final NPC pack.. but i'm not sure where to extract all the files to.
I tried downloading a mission.. (Kill_breen) and I can load the map fine, but when I try load the single player game Garry's mod closes and I get an engine error (ED_Alloc: no free eddicts) .. I have no idea what this means or how to fix it.
Also if anyone has any reccomended downloads for a new player that would be cool, some really good mpas / weapons and missions i'd appreciate it. I've been reading a lot of the forum, it seems i'll have to venture online soon as that looks to be where the real fun is to be had. Though attatching clock wheels and thrusters to a horse then riding it around killing headcrabs is pretty fun too.
All help and replies appreciated :)
I'm not sure about the left 4 dead stuff, but with the faceposer, after you move the sliders around, you need to left click and "fire" the toolgun to actually change the face.

Oh, and things such as dan's npc pack go into the folder called "addons". When you download something and it has an info.txt file, it goes into addons, unless it's a gamemode. Then it goes into the gamemodes folder.

I tried putting all the files into the addons folder... but when I went on single player i couldnt find anything new.. no extra npc's in any of the menus... I can't work out what i'm doing wrong
A bunch of downloads I personally feel are nessecary. A couple other people may disagree, but these are what I need on my computer before I start building stuff on Gmod.

Go to "GMod settings" at the main menu of GMod, and click on the checkbox next to Left4Dead. This will mount the game onto Gmod so you can use all of the maps/props.
Oh, and you need to restart Gmod before an addon/map/etc takes effect.

You aren't missing anything. Kill Breen missions are all shit.

I should make an actual MAP kill Breen mission, and then people may catch on, and the SAVE FILES WILL BE NO MORE!

I find it good in singeplayer, while making contraptions or movies.

I gave him a bunch of non-SVN links because it seems that everyone who asks questions in the help section are completely lost when it comes to doing stuff on their own in the first place (generalizations). Let alone installing an SVN, right clicking a folder, and clicking checkout. ;|

Well yeah. If you go to single player you could need it.
