I am trying to set Darkrp as the default gamemode yet my server keeps starting up with the sandbox gamemode. i have done
“sv_defaultgamemode” “DarkRP”
“sv_gamemode” “DarkRP”
tried that in the server.cfg, aautoexe.cfg and nothing works
I think it’s
-sv_defaultgamemode "DarkRP"
just add that to the command line.
Or you could remove the quotes
sv_defaultgamemode “DarkRP”
sv_gamemode “DarkRP”
Still doesnt work 
set…
sv_defaultgamemode “%FolderNameThatHasTheGM.LuaFiles%”
ex. in garrysmod/gamemodes/
DarkRP1
sandbox
SSbox
FortBuild
so for DarkRP (which is inside DarkRP1) the cvar would look like: sv_defaultgamemode “DarkRP1”
it still keeps starting up with sandbox
you might have another command line somewhere saying to startup with sandbox. Look thoroughly
