Garry's Mod
Game Resources
Auto Refresh
Autorefresh can lag the server when certain Lua files are edited. This happens when the refreshing cascades. This can be unwanted behavior when editing the scripts of a large project on a live server.
To disable autorefresh, add -disableluarefresh
to parms.
Loading Screen
Loading screens are added by defining a website with sv_loadingurl
, which is in gmodserver.cfg
by default. This file overrides other files.
Links should not have http://
or an ending/
.
Gamemode
Gamemode is changed by editing start parameters in the LinuxGSM config file.
Other game modes like Zombie Survival can be found on the steam workshop.
Workshop
Garry's Mod does not require an API/Auth Key anymore.
For Garry's Mod, add the collection ID in LinuxGSM config using wscollectionid
setting. This will download the collection when the server starts.
Mounting Game Content
Some Garry's Mod addons like TTT use content from other games. To do this the content will need to be "mounted".
All source engine games should be mountable.
This guide is for installing another game server with LinuxGSM and using that content, copying that game's files, and mounting the game to Garry's Mod. This guide is for CS:S but should work for any other game.
There are multiple ways to potentially mount content. The below example is just one example
First install a Counter-Strike: Source server, if you already have a server installed this step can be skipped. If the server will be deleted after copying files.
Install CS:S Server with LinuxGSM
Copy the cstrike
the directory from the Counter-Strike: Source to the Gmod folder.
Ensure that the copied files are owned by the gmodserver
user.
Open mount.cfg file.
Add game to mount.cfg
Restart the server. Check if the mount was successful by changing the level to a mounted map with console or rcon.
