Really disappointing problem with Easy Bonemerge Tool - Help

Hello, I have a really crappy problem with Easy Bonemerge Tool when I try to put items on models. I used Bone Merger instead this whole time and it was great. But I got a bunch models with strangely boring outfits and I was pretty sure I saw they had more options. Then I learned that you can change bodygroups on clothes too before merging them. That's amazing. But when I merged them after changing bodygroups, all bodygroup changes got reset. People said Easy Bonemerge Tool didn't have this problem. It doesn't, but it has an even worse problem instead. The bodygroup changes stay, but now the clothes just merge with the air somewhere nearby. It just creates a copy of the item stuck in the air, instead of putting it on the ragdoll. The original item stays where I spawned it and the ragdoll stays without the item. It even shows a transparent preview on the ragdoll when I'm about to merge the item. But it still just duplicates the item somewhere else in the air. Any additional items I try just get added to the one stuck in the air. So I'm either able to add items to models, but without being able to change bodygroups...or I'm able to change body groups, but can't get the items to merge with models properly. It also gives me this error in the console every time I Left Click to add items to a model using Easy Bonemerge Tool...

Do not use extracted/edited/non official/non workshop versions and you wont have this problem.

I got it from here https://gamebanana.com/tools/6192 So it doesn't work? I only have the Easy Bodygroup Tool from workshop and some other utilities + models. But I hate the workshop and I'm not getting anything from there anymore.

Anything that isn't a map or character model (with standard hl2 animations/valve biped) from gamebanana or garrysmods.org shouldn't be installed into your files EVER. Most scripts are usually redistributed with exploits, backdoors or all kinds of nasty things that can break your installation and force a factory reset, and that's honestly last resort. They're also usually outdated and not updated as often as addons on the workshop. Easy Bonemerge tool is updated and functions fine on the workshop. That copy was redistributed almost a year ago without Rubat's Permission and since then the game has been through a few major updates. Most scripts you will find on these sites are heavily outdated or broken as well. They only exist for legacy purposes so people can refurbish/remake them, and so that their hard work isn't lost forever in the abyss. But in this case it isn't even a legacy issue or a preservation, just a simple redistribution without permission. Always be wary of non official addons and never download one without checking the workshop for it's official version first. Old maps,base npcs, playermodels are okay, but just be weary of unintended replacement textures and check the lua with notepad++ before launching gmod.

Thanks, buddy. I'll keep that in mind. That copy there seems like an innocent upload. Aside from the no-permission part then, heh. Well, I also had a look at the faulty code of Easy Bonemerge Tool and fixed the problem. Works like a charm now. Discussed the problem more thoroughly elsewhere and I'll go post the fix now.
