Garrys Mod Help Thread

Well it was fun for about 3 hours but lets be reasonable here.
- Addon installation in-game takes forever
- Addon installation out of the game is confusing and some don't even mention they are for GMod 9
- Having fun in servers gets you banned
- Solo player is boring, because you want someone else there
- Long entity load time on the spawn menu if you have PHX or other mods for the entity list
- Fake addon scripts that force you to say messages. God damn I got these 3 times when trying to install addons
- The building system is not really fun or easy

1. You can't install add-ons ingame.
2. It's not confusing at all. If it has an info.txt drop it in addons, it's really simple. Gmod.org doesn't host addons for gmod 9, so I don't know where you're looking.
3. What
4. Host a listen server
5. It's called icon rendering, and it only happens once
6. Where the hell are you downloading stuff from
7. Spawn prop, use physgun, use tool. It's easy, and fun if you're creative.

its inreasonable

1. You can't install add-ons ingame.

Whenever I join a server, they have a huge pile of addons.

That's up to the server.

I don't have ANY of those issues. If you know what you're doing, installing addons is about as easy as installing addons in Blockland v8 and earlier.

Can someone just please answer my question?

6. Where the hell are you downloading stuff from

This is a virus that has been in Gmod since Chrisaster, usually it is downloaded in to your Gmod when you connect to one of the fake servers.

You can identify fake servers if the server list says that there is far more players then there is when you click on the Server Information.
Example: Players 40/60, when you go to the list there is only four names this is a virus.

- Addon installation in-game takes forever
What? I'm guessing you mean downloading from servers. Well that doesn't install addons, that only allows you to temporarily use them. And of course it takes forever. You are downloading from an active server that also has to balance between uploading to you and running the game for everyone.
- Addon installation out of the game is confusing and some don't even mention they are for GMod 9
It's not confusing at all, it's as simple as it was for old blockland(before that awesome .zip system)
- Having fun in servers gets you banned
Sounds like you were being a friend and messing with people.
- Solo player is boring, because you want someone else there
Then host your own server.
- Long entity load time on the spawn menu if you have PHX or other mods for the entity list
You mean props, not entities. Short time, but when you have over 9000 icons to generate, of course it will take time. However, once it's generated, you don't have to generate it again.
- Fake addon scripts that force you to say messages. God damn I got these 3 times when trying to install addons
Sounds like you were stupid and got something stupid that you thought was cool but it was actually stupid.
- The building system is not really fun or easy
It's easy, and physics is fun :D. It's not hard at all to create something simple and fun.

We can't help you without knowing the folder structure. If there's a folder with an info.txt in it, drop it in add-ons. If it does not have an info.txt, it's not an addon.

[Watcher In The Myst]

Already tried that, can someone download it and try it out?

[Watcher In The Myst]

Double post for bump. Please help.

[Jsk2003]

Argh I told you to go to facepunch, but you're too much of a friend to go to the official website.

Well I downloaded it and what the forget?
I lol'd hard.

If you can't figure this out for yourself, there's no hope.

All you need to extract this is:
 A program to extract it(actually you can use windows explorer).
 Knowledge of how to extract files/folders.
 A brain.
