You can find them in SteamApps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/garrysmod_dir.vpk/materials/entities.

You'll need [URL="http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/?p=26"]GCFScape[/URL] to open the gmod .VPK file though

That particular one is materials/entities/weapon_357.png.

If you want to get the string of a weapon so you can find its image, I think you just need to use the weapon's class like so:

local weaponclass = "weapon_stunstick" -- or any weapon class

local imagepath = "materials/entities/"..weaponclass..".png"

Note that not all weapons have images for them

Now this works however i need to be able to call like all weapons... for example the darkrp weapons..

these weapons when using that code you posted create a texture error...

i also assume that M9K or FAS weapons would do the same

It seems the DarkRP weapons are in [URL="https://github.com/FPtje/DarkRP/tree/master/content/materials/vgui/entities"]materials/vgui/entities[/URL].

They also seem to all be .vtf files. I guess if you looked around in gmod's menu code for a while you could find how it finds all the weapon icons, but I guess it must just search both directories

not really sure where that source code is on the [URL="https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod"]github[/URL] if someone could point me in the correct direction that would be great!

Kind of trying to use the code used in that file you sent however not sure how to make it expand to other weapon packs...

		-- Loop through the weapons and add them to the menu
		local Weapons = list.Get( "Weapon" )
		local Categorised = {}

		-- Build into categories
		for k, weapon in pairs( Weapons ) do
			if weapon.ClassName == v[5] then
				print(weapon.ClassName)
				Categorised[ weapon.Category ] = Categorised[ weapon.Category ] or {}
				table.insert( Categorised[ weapon.Category ], weapon )
			end
		end

		Weapons = nil

		for CategoryName, v in SortedPairs( Categorised ) do
			for k, ent in SortedPairsByMemberValue( v, "PrintName" ) do
				theweaponent = "materials/entities/"..ent.ClassName..".png"
			end
		end

again it works for hl2 weapons but nothing outside of that

Use the wiki. That combined with a basic "if/elseif" check should get you what you need.

Hmm this could work but what are the ONLY possible files that can hold the spawnicons?

[TFA]

Generally, the two locations are:
"vgui/entities/classname.vtf"
and
"entities/classname.png"

There's no way to get all possible locations without a long file search. These, however, are what the spawnmenu supports.
