I got GMod this past weekend, and have created around 4 poses and 1 catapult. However, I have a few questions. First, is there a Gordon Freeman ragdoll? Or a mod? How do I install my add-ons? I have a large amount dled, but when I put them in my add-ons folder, they won't show up anywhere. Do I have to extract them? Thanks for the help, and I'll post a screenie of one of my poses. :D

(I've already shown this in the GMod topic in Creativity)

Yes you extract.  Not sure about Freeman...

Thanks. But do I extract all the contents just into the add-ons folder to float around? I also just got a Freeman NPC. :D (Can't wait to figure out how to use it :P)

Garrysmod.org has more than one Freeman ragdoll/npc.

Guys, I just loaded garrysmod.org, it's having problems. Anyone else getting this? All my other internet pages work, but not this.

I'm pretty sure Garrysmod.org worked yesterday. Just keep trying. Else, you can search the rest of the web.

addons go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\[username]\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons

Bold text means it's a folder, non-bold are files

If the folder structure is like this
Quote
ExampleAddonV1
-materials
--<insert material files here>

-models
--<insert model files here>
It goes in the garrysmod/garrysmod directory, just drag the materials and models folder out of the 'ExampleAddonV1' folder, the materials and models folder will overwrite the already existing materials and models folder, but it won't delete anything, it'll only place the materials and models in the folders of the addon you're installing

If the folder structure is like this
Quote
ExampleAddonV2
-info.txt

-materials
--<insert material files here>

-models
--<insert model files here>
It goes in the garrysmod/garrysmod/addons directory, drag the 'ExampleAddonV2' folder into said directory

Not all addons with new models (like ragdolls, props, etc) will have spawn lists so after installing them and running Gmod, you'll need to open the spawn menu (Q is the default key) and click the [Browse] tab

I know how to go to the spawn menu :P. Thanks for the help MLD, but I'm gonna keep it open for other people/if I have more questions.
