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
• GMod9 Server files

File locations

This guide assumes the following locations:

• steamcmd.exe location: D:\games\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe

• srcds 2006 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 like this (3 folders will be created):

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

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

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir ../hl2mp_server +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\ 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\ 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*

• 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:\gamdes\server_final\gameinfo.txt with the contents from Attachment 1 (See Attachments)

• Create the file D:\games\server_final\gmod9\autoexec.cfg and add the contents from from Attachment 2 (See Attachments)

• Run srcds.exe like this: srcds.exe -insecure -nohltv -flushlog -port 27015 -console -game gmod9 -maxplayers 16 +map gm_construct
