Hi, I've recently downloaded an addon (this one [URL]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=533906950[/URL]) that adds a transparent image as an overlay under post process. It adds this grid below:[url]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/389917471417466440/3110F47007C556FAF7EF622D1A8E00A4FE873EDA/[/url]
What I want to do is modify that grid and add my own.
I can't seem to find where exactly in the garrysmod folder the overlay images/effects are stored.
I've found garrysmod/materials/overlays but that one doesn't contain any of the overlays in post process so the overlays must be stored somewhere else.
This would probably help you. [url]https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/tree/master/garrysmod/lua/postprocess[/url]
Those files are stored in the addons/*.gma associated with the addon.
Okay I found the addon. I'm looking up how to extract the .gma files according to this tutorial.

It points out how I'm supposed to use gmad.exe to open the .gma but there's no such exe in my bin folder.
What would be the more recent way of opening a .gma? I'm finding some outdated 2012 threads with broken links so far.
drag the file into the gmad.exe
sourcegames/garrysmod/bin
not garrysmod/garrysmod/bin

definitely there
Alright, that worked! I managed to get it to open as a folder and found the .vtf texture file I wanted to edit. Now will it work in gmod or do I need to recompile it into a .gma again?
it should work just like a normal addon, literally you can drop that folder into addons and it will work exactly the same

so no you shouldnt have to put it back into a gma
