"Sorry can't spawn that npc" message. - Developers

I have my own gmod dedicated server, and have recently mounted tf2, css, and both hl2 episodes, , L4D, L4D 2 but when i try to spawn npc's from episodes 1, 2 or Lost Coasts L4D, L4D 2, it gives the famous "sorry you can't spawn this npc" message. But wait there is more, i tried to work around it by using the,vehicles, props etc. headcrab plague addon, and it worked, it made a zombine, so its seems to be mounting right, but it does not let me spawn it. please help.

Are they mounted on the client and server?

Yeah they are.. I was trying to spawn some proops from Spawn menu and they work, but not all. All NPCs, vehicle don't work.. I forgot I can't mount L4D and L4D2 it shows this error... I haven't found anything to fix it yet... :( [IMG]http://oi57.tinypic.com/23ldw87.jpg[/IMG]

To get rid of those messages you will need to mount the games by editing a file. cfg/mountdepos.txt or something. Easiest way to do this is to enable all desired games On your client and then copy&paste the file from your client to your server.

What? Is there any tutorial or video tutorial?

I think he doesn't set cfg/mount.cfg file correctly. I also had this problem. PM me, I will send you video.

Make sure you use Force Install Dir when using SteamCMD; if you don't you're given some directory names that don't always work because hyphens and parenthesis, () -, sometimes create issues with mounting. Here's how to set up SRCDS: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/server_srcds_steamcmd/setting_up_a_server_with_steamcmd.lua.html[/url]

[QUOTE=code_gs;47094507]Can you spawn them in singleplayer?[/QUOTE] Yes I can...

Then it is likely a prop-protection addon. Search gma files for that text "Sorry you can't spawn" in addition to your game-mode files. A lot of addons add a singleplayer clause to allow spawning there.
