GMod 9 Server Setup
========================

## What does this do?
This guide will create a fully working install of source dedicated server running gmod9:
* The blue container (models/props_junk/TrashDumpster02.mdl) will not be weightless anymore
* Tripmines and Stunsticks will work properly
* Jeeps and Airboats can be spawned
* Airboat steering isn't broken anymore
* NPCs no longer die instantly
* NPC Animations (sort of) work again

## Things you need
* [Steamcmd](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD)
* [GMod 9 Server files](https://gmod9.com/files/srv_gmod9_0_4b.zip)
* [GCFScape](https://nemstools.github.io/pages/GCFScape-Download.html)

## File locations
This guide assumes the following locations:
* steamcmd.exe location:
`D:\games\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe`

* Final server location:
`D:\games\server_final\`

* Source SDK Base 2006 location:
`D:\games\sdk_base_2006\`

* Half Life 2 Deathmatch Dedicated Server location:
`D:\games\hl2mp_server\`

* Final GMod9 gameinfo.txt location:
`D:\games\server_final\gmod9\gameinfo.txt`

## How to install
* Download steamcmd to `D:\games\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe`
*(hldsupdatetool was replaced by this when the steampipe update arrived)* 

* Download the required content by executing the following commands (3 folders will be created):

`steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ../server_final +login anonymous +app_update 205 validate +quit`

`steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ../sdk_base_2006 +login anonymous +app_update 215 validate +quit`

`steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ../hl2mp_server +login anonymous +app_update 232370 validate +quit`

* **Delete** the contents of `D:\games\server_final\hl2\`
 *We delete this because this hl2 content folder is incomplete*

* **Extract** all `*_dir.vpk` files from `D:\games\sdk_base_2006\vpks\` to `D:\games\server_final\hl2\` using **GCFScape**
 *This will make sure gmod9 has access to all required hl2 content*
 
* **Extract** all `*_dir.vpk` files from `D:\games\hl2mp_server\hl2mp\` to `D:\games\server_final\hl2mp\` using **GCFScape**
 *This will make sure gmod9 has access to all required hl2mp content*
 
 * **Copy** all files (excluding .vpk files) from `D:\games\hl2mp_server\hl2mp\` to `D:\games\server_final\hl2mp\`
 *This will also make sure gmod9 has access to all required hl2mp content*

* **Delete** `steam.inf` from `D:\games\server_final\hl2mp\`

* **Extract** the GMod9 server files so that the final path looks like this:
`D:\games\server_final\gmod9\` 

* **Delete** `vstdlib_s.dll`, `tier0_s.dll`, and `steamclient.dll` from `D:\games\server_final\`

* **Replace** the contents of `D:\games\server_final\gmod9\gameinfo.txt` with the contents from **Attachment 1** (Scroll down for attachments)
 
* **Create** the file `D:\games\server_final\gmod9\cfg\autoexec.cfg` and add the contents from from **Attachment 2** (Scroll down for attachments)

* **Start** your GMod9 server by executing the following command:

`srcds.exe -insecure -nohltv -flushlog -port 27015 -console -game gmod9 -maxplayers 16 +map gm_construct`

## Gmod9 Server Hosting
If you don't have a network capable of hosting a server (or you just want a server instantly), you can purchase a Gmod9 server from [FaceServers](https://faceservers.com/gmod9), which is run by the same people that created FaceWAN. All servers are provisioned instantly and have a fully featured control panel.
