change the command line from: [CODE]+sv_gamemode "Garry's Mod Stranded"[/CODE] to [CODE]+sv_gamemode "gmstranded"[/CODE]

Hey Nate, I just tried it and it did not work, please help anyone! :)

It's supposed to be +gamemode. Do you get a console output? Any errors?

You set the gamemode based on the folder name, not the actual name of the gamemode. In addition to that, the command to change the gamemode is "gamemode", not "sv_defaultgamemode" or "sv_gamemode".

So what do I need to change? [editline]22nd May 2013[/editline] I changed the cfg instead of sv_gamemode and default I changed it to just gamemode "Garry's Mod Stranded" [editline]22nd May 2013[/editline] It says Couldn't change active gamemode - Garry's Mod Stranded not found

I [i]just[/i] said it's based on the folder name. Whatever the folder is named, make it that.

I did, and it did not work. :(

EDIT: READ MY LATER POST, PROBLEM SOLVED Rename the Stranded folder in gamemodes to [code]stranded[/code] In your server.cfg, put this line somewhere in it [code]gamemode "stranded"[/code] Then, obviously, restart the server. I did this for another gamemode called Tiramisu 2. gamemode "Tiramisu 2" didn't work for me for some reason, so I renamed the folder to "tiramisu" and set the line to gamemode "tiramisu", and it worked. Also, make sure the version of Stranded you have is actually meant for Garry's Mod 13. So updated sometime after November 2012 preferably.

Also, make sure the gamemode is up to date. I haven't heard of it. We get a lot of littluns who download ancient gamemodes off of gmod.org.

But it says cannot find gamemode 'stranded' still? It still isn't working :P

Are you using Linux or Windows to host your server?

Windows!

Just set up a SRCDS server and tried running stranded off of it. Yep, can't switch gamemodes. I got the gma off of workshop, extracted it, put it in, and it won't switch.

How recent is it?

Fixed. Name the folder gmstranded in your gamemodes folder just for the sake of this. In the command line for your server, add the line: [code]+sv_defaultgamemode gmstranded[/code] It switched over for me then.

It only lets you use +sv_defaultgamemode. I left that blank while I was trying other methods. The second I filled that in and restarted the server, it worked. Putting it in server.cfg does indeed work as our main community servers have been doing this for the last 5-6 months when we didn't realize +sv_defaultgamemode (apparently?) came back. Either way, Garry switching all this stuff around behind the scenes is starting to confuse a lot of people.

I think you need to create a txt file for the gamemode to work. This happened to me once and when I did this it worked. Name it gmstranded.txt and add [code] "Stranded" { "base" "base" "title" "Stranded" "menusystem" "1" "settings" { // TODO: put some settings here } } [/code] Place this file in the stranded gamemode then try +sv_defaultgamemode gmstranded and it should work.
