where to put modules?

[grunewald]

so i want to create my own module for my gamemode, but where would i put it? can't figure it out on my own :(

ERROR: Couldn't include file 'includes\modules\skills.lua' (File not found)

[lua]local skill = require("skills")[/lua]

garrysmod/lua/includes/modules/skills.lua in the server install of Garrys Mod.

so your saying it's impossible to have it somewhere in my "\garrysmod\gamemodes\xxx" ??

If you're trying to make a modular based system, the way I've done it is like so:
[lua]
local function loadModules()
local fol = "mods/"
local files, folders = file.Find(fol .. "*", "LUA")
for k,v in pairs(files) do
print("Including - ".. v)
include(fol..v)
end
end

loadModules()
[/lua]

That's where it's looking for it. Pretty sure you could also put it in your game-mode directory as a module but I'm not 100% on that but if I recall correctly I think I've seen it done. Just include it instead of require it.
