Adding content from other games on the Source engine
Important preface:

  • Weapons and NPCs will not be added with this content, ONLY props and models (sometimes there are NPCs);
  • Without CS:Source content, you can forget about playing on most maps and servers, but we'll figure it out anyway, but a little later;
  • You can include only those games that are in this list:

Adding CS:Source Content
Short video guide:
https://youtu.be/gO8qUfp7y-U

Link to CSS Content: http://mp.ru.net/cloud/css.zip

How do enable Content?
Let's start with the fact that you must have the game on your account, and end with the fact that it must be downloaded from you. From the whole list, Left 4 Dead 2 is right for me right now, so I'll choose it.

To turn on the content, I select the "Games" button in the main menu, which is located in the lower right corner and click the check mark on the L4D2 icon.

Where can I find the added Content?
We pinch Q and lower our gaze to the lowest icon with the inscription "Games", click on + and see a new tab, where we also click on + and see all the added content.
▼▼▼Game process▼▼▼
Parsing the Q menu tabs
Spawnlist
Spawnlist is a list of created content in the form of: props, models, mods (content), games on the Source engine.

Parsing "C menu"
A separate guide on this topic:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2962459998

▼▼How to enable "C menu"▼▼
Let's start with the simplest
To turn on Menu, we need to hold down the C key, and visit any Subject.
It doesn't matter what it will be, even if the NPC is even transport, there is no difference, in my case it is propaganda.
After we hover the cursor over the object we need, we Right-click on it
It will look like in the picture below

▼▼Interaction "With menu" with objects▼▼

Hold Vertically
This function does not allow the object to roll over on its side.

Set it on fire
Sets fire to the object. Can break the destructible object. The fire does not pass from object to object, only what you have chosen will burn.
Deals damage if you touch it and continues to burn in the water.

Remove
A function that deletes the object you selected.

Manage
Using the "Manage" function, you will be able to control any object from a third person. It is possible to fly through any obstacles (including through the map).
While your camera is flying, your character will stand in the "Telekinesis" pose, putting one hand to his head, and the other will point at the object he controls.
To exit the control, you need to either delete the object using "Z" or press the English key "E".

Turn off collision
Thanks to this function, you can walk through objects and all other objects will pass through them (exc. map).

Levitation
When using the function, gravity will not work on the object. It starts to fly smoothly, but in order for him to start doing it, he needs to be pushed.

Body Groups
Body groups are something that can mostly be found in mods. Thanks to this function, you can change certain parts on the NPC, models or item.

Skin
Skin as a body group, only replaces the entire appearance of the object at once.

Change Properties
To begin with, this function can only be used on "Edible balls" and "Cubes changing the background" (I haven't found it anywhere else)
Thanks to this function, you can change the color of the ball or its size, and on the lips you can change the range of clouds, sun and other things

▼▼What can be done with NPCs/Models using the "C menu"▼▼

Change the dice
The function for changing the bones of the NPCs can be called one of the most fun, because thanks to it you will be able to stretch the limbs of the NPCs in different directions.

Zoom in and Out
Thanks to these functions, you can both increase and decrease the NPC, and its hitbox can also change along with the NPC itself.

Static
The static function can make a mobile statue out of a model, which can be moved with the help of a physical gun.
Parsing Utilities
A separate guide on this topic:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981737066

▼▼Where is the Utilities?▼▼
The Utilities button can be found by holding down the Q key and looking to the right side of the floated panel

▼▼User Settings▼▼
It is worth saying that the user settings are responsible only for the settings in relation to you. This will not affect the game of other players in any way.
In fact, these are interface settings. Whatever you choose here will just show or not show a certain effect.

Clean up
It is mainly needed to clear the entire map, but you can also clear many other objects separately

Physics Gun settings
  • The display of the glow - when lifting the physical affect the contour of the prop, highlighting it
  • The display of the rays of the physical cannon - speaks for itself, turning it off you will not see the beam
  • Display of freezing effects - affect the effect when pressing the PCM while holding the prop
  • Displaying the effects of defrosting, the same as freezing, only vice versa

Sandbox Setting
  • The interface is HP cartridges - changing the object in the hands of the mouse wheel.
  • Information about the tools - these are tooltips when you select a function to use.
  • Instrument effects - this is a pancake that appears when you press the left mouse button with a toolgun
  • Tooltips of the world - these are the hints that pop up when using the tool
  • The creation effect - is the dry creation of an object immediately,without animation, as if it appears over time only very quickly
  • Rings of effects - affect the same pancakes when spawning items
  • The display of cameras - affect the visibility of cameras
  • Displaying pushers - affect pushers

Undo
A function that allows you to delete everything that you have set, with one click of the LMB on the line you need, from priests to tools

▼▼Admin Settings▼▼

Clean up
Everything is the same, just cleaning everything, not just your props

Physics Gun settings
  • Maximum beam range - beam length adjustment
  • The maximum speed of the object - the lower the more difficult it is to raise the throughput
  • The maximum turning speed - the lower the harder it is to turn.

Sandbox Settings
  • Giving weapons when reborn - gives us most of the arsenal from HL2
  • Invulnerability - speaks for itself
  • Damage between players - is like invulnerability only you can still take damage from other things
  • Allow flight mode - enables noclip
  • Changing NPC bones - allows you to change NPC bones
  • Changing the players bonus - allows you to change the players' bones
  • Changing the bones of everything - allows you to change the bones of everything
  • The sliders are no longer so important - since these are the settings that are available before you start the game

  • Sliders
  • Gravity - affects the jump
  • Ground friction - works like ice
  • The speed of physics - changes the speed of physics
  • Flight speed - changes the flight speed
  • Maximum Ammo - setting your maximum ammo for all your weapons

Server Settings
  • kick for clientside errors - is useless to expel for clinical errors
  • Allow client scripts - apparently creating sites in gmod...?
  • Stick to the ground - without it you can slide down slopes and jump like in hl2 speedrun
  • Lifting items - is the basic function of the game
  • Realistic fall damage - deals you more height damage when falling.
  • Enable the functionality of the HEV suit - when activated, you get an additional suit interface
Parsing the settings NPC
A separate guide on this topic:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2971158847

▼▼Spawn NPC▼▼
Hold down Q, open the NPC tab and click on the square

▼▼Sections of NPCs and their features▼▼

Animal
The section with "Animals" contains only 4 NPCs.
3 of them are just birds that include crows, pigeons and seagulls.
But what is Father Gregory doing there? Everything is even too simple as you might think at first glance, this is a simple mistake or a joke from Garry.

Combine
This is a section with hostile soldiers and their equipment from HL2 or just Combines.
It represents little of interest, because all this has already been perfectly shown in HL2.
But, these NPCs, together with the NPCs from Humans + Resistance, have one isolation that we will move on to a little later.

Humans + Resistance
This is a section consisting of key and partner NPCs from HL2, they can join the player's squad and fight with the NPCs from the Combine tab, they also have some feature that we will move on to again later.

Nexbot
"Nexbot" is a section containing a Test NPC, most likely it was made to test the animation of these same NPCs. Also, if you download a mod that says "Nexbot", then it will appear in this tab.

Zombies + Enemy Aliens
This tab contains Zombies, antlions and similar monsters from Zen, except Vortigonts.

▼▼NPC management▼▼
And so, to control the NPC, we need to hold down Q, then select the "NPC" tab and then its settings will be available to you.

Disable thinking
is a feature that allows you to literally stop time for NPCs

Ignore players
NPCs live their own lives, but they don't care about you

Keep corpses
By enabling this feature, all the NPCs you killed become Ragdolls and you can now play with them.

Join the player's squad
If you have this function enabled, then NPCs will follow you as in HL2, and a window with the number of these NPCs will appear in the lower right corner.

Weapon selection
Thanks to this feature, you can issue any weapon to the NPCs.

▼▼Other settings▼▼

Copy to clipboard
what this botton do..?

Spawn using Toolgun
The name speaks for itself, using this function, the Toolgun will immediately be held in your hands, using it you will spawn the NPC you need
Achievements P.1
A separate guide on this topic:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911272652

Play Singleplayer
Play singleplayer at least once.

Play Multiplayer
Play multiplayer at least once.
It's enough to join to a friend's server without addons

Play Around
Play a gamemode that isn't sandbox.
This achievement is obtainable only in multiplayer. In the server list DarkRP, TTT and Jailbreak servers are most popular. To get an achievement, you can connect to such server without installing junk server data (character models, addons, etc.). To connect to the server faster and avoid downloading junk files, go to Settings → Network mode → Download maps only. This setting is required, otherwise you'll not be able to appear on the map and you'll not get the achievement.

Bad Coder
Experience 500 Lua programming errors.
In fact, you don't have to waste time looking for a broken addon with a bunch of errors. Just enter this into the console and wait a few seconds:

  • sv_allowcslua 1;lua_run_cl for i = 1, 500 do nonexistentFunction() end

    If it doesn't work, try this:

  • sv_allowcslua 1;lua_run_cl hook.Add("Think", "GiveMeErrors", function() nonexistentFunction() end)
After you got the achievement, restart the game.

Map Loader
Play 20 different maps.
You need to be on the map for at least 10 seconds for the map to count. This achievement is easy to get if you have installed one of the old Valve games on the Source engine (Half-Life 2, Portal, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2). If you don't have these games, you can take a look at Garry's Mod Workshop and find interesting maps.

Secret Phrase
Say the secret phrase.
Secret phrase is bloxwich Chat opens with "Y" key by default.

Friendly
Play with 10 friends.
Checklist for organizing a meeting for the Friendly achievement:

  • Find 10 active Garry's Mod players and send them friend invites. You can find players in the game's discussions, in this group, and elsewhere.
  • Write to each of these 10 players that you need help with the Friendly achievement, ask the player's time zone and when he'll be ready to help you. If he refuses, just remove him from friendlist and find another player.
  • Personally, I recommend writing down the time zones of the players in an MS Excel spreadsheet or text file so you won't get confused.
  • After getting 10 players, create a Steam group chat and add these players to the chat.
  • In the group chat, write the date and time of the meeting of the players and wait for the consent of all the players. Be sure to write @all at the beginning of the message!
  • Usually, players can allocate time for such meetings on weekends (Saturday, Sunday) in the evening, at night. If the players are not ready to meet at your scheduled time, then try to schedule another time according to the availability of the players.
  • If in 1-2 days not everyone answered your message in the group chat, then write to the unanswered players in private messages. If they do not answer you in 1-3 days, then unfriend them and find replacement players as soon as possible.
  • An hour or a couple of hours before the meeting, remind in a group chat about the meeting with the ping of everyone.

  • There is another way to get this achievement, but I haven't personally tested it:
  • Go to any server with 50+ players online.
  • Send friend invites to all players on the server and wait for at least 10 players to accept your invite. If you are asked for what reason you added player, write to him that you need the Friendly achievement.

▼▼▼Game Modes▼▼▼
Prophunt

The most popular mode in Garry's mod at the time of writing this guide. Its meaning is that players are divided into two teams: hunters and props. The team of hunters must find props and kill them. Props will have to disguise themselves as different objects to avoid being killed. Due to its simplicity, this mode is perfect for group gatherings in the game.
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=135509255
Murder

The second most popular mode in the Garry's mod workshop at the time of writing this guide. In this mode, people are divided into two roles: Murderer and Innocent.
The murderer must kill everyone and the innocent must collect clues to get the revolver and kill the murderer. Once there is a suspect in the murders, the innocent will have to shoot him. If the suspect was innocent, then the shooter dies, and a revolver falls from his body, which can be picked up by another innocent person. The process is repeated until the murderer dies or all the innocents die.

The essence of this mode is that people are divided into two teams: zombies and survivors. The survivors must survive and barricade themselves against the zombies, and the zombies must infect all the survivors. There are several different zombies with different abilities to choose from to defeat the survivors. The mode is interesting and can take a lot of time.

Cinema

This is the most enjoyable of all modes. The idea is that on specially designated cards for this mode, people can launch videos and movies and watch them together. Nothing special, but the mode is quite entertaining.

DarkRP

The most famous mode is Garry's mod. It doesn’t really need a description, but will get a description nonetheless. On each server, players are divided into different roles and complete the objectives of the role. The whole process is built around people interacting with each other. It may well be exciting for people who are willing to spend most of their time in Garry's mod.

Stop it, Slender!

An interesting mode dedicated to the famous creepypasta character - Slender. Players are divided into two roles: Slenderman and his victims. The victims must collect the notes, and Slender must kill them. Nothing difficult or special, but very interesting.

Hide and Seek

A mode dedicated entirely to hide and seek. The most famous children's fun, which is now taking on a larger scale. My favorite mode because it asks you to think a little about where to hide and takes you back to childhood. Very similar to tag.

Guess who

The mode is very similar to hide and seek, but more advanced. Now you will need to hide from the hunter among the NPCs and be like the NPC as much as possible, and the hunter must find you and kill you. Players have abilities on the side of NPCs that make life easier for them and complicate the life of hunters.

Trouble in Terrorist Town

One of the basic game modes, available immediately. Dedication mode is identical to Murder mode, but with the difference that it's Murder on steroids. Absolutely every person has a weapon, which increases the degree of madness and the difficulty of calculating the killer. The principles remain the same. Who wants to identify the killer personally and personally, then this mode is just right.
▼▼▼Myths▼▼▼
Meaty
The most popular of all the myths is Garry's mod, which appeared in Russia - meaty. According to him, a certain entity called “meat” lives on the gm_construct map. You can only summon it by killing many NPCs and after that he will appear and can even kill you.

It was found out experimentally that it doesn’t exist, but people don’t really care about it, so go for it.

And here’s what the author (Dochtúir Murtajë Neamhchothrom) imagines the meaty looks like while it’s waiting for you:

Observer
The next myth is the observer. In itself, it is old as the world and new as a phenomenon. According to him, on a variety of maps there is some entity that watches what you do.

Nothing supernatural, an explanation of this will be given further.
Shadows
The following is rather a collection of various stories about the existence of a variety of shadow entities in the Garry's mod on different maps.

Searching for shadow people will not give much results - they disappear as soon as you look at them.
This phenomenon appeared due to the fact that people played alone for a long time on different maps and at some point became paranoid that they were clearly not alone there and that there was someone on the map besides themselves and began to see different phantoms.

The origin and purpose of the shadows is unknown, but people talk about accidentally seeing fragments of these entities.

Their existence has been repeatedly disproven, but people continue to believe in it.
Creature on the map rp_downtown_v2
There are also stories about a certain creature that lives in the sewers on this very old map of Garry's mod. Stories about him are fragmentary and inaccurate. There are reports that this creature is aggressive, others report that it just moves around and does not pose a threat to the player.

However, observation and exploration of the sewers did not bring any results, so whether this creature exists is unknown. It is believed that he doesn't exist.
GMan Virus
There are also stories that in Garry's Mod 9 there was a virus that displayed GMan's stretched face on the screen when the map was launched and crashed Garry's mod itself. There are a couple of videos on the internet demonstrating the effects of the virus.
Cough Virus
This myth itself is subsequently true. This is a script that played the sound of an infected player coughing and wrote the word "cough" into the chat many times. There was a myth that this virus could cause VAC ban, but this was never confirmed. It is believed that it may still pose a threat to players.
GMan
There is a story about how one of the players discovered a GMan following him, whom he did not spawn. Having flown up to him, the player went off the map into black oblivion, and then flew out. There is no mention of this anywhere else. What it was, no one knows.

@ Chriz You don't need to if your a seasoned player. This is very helpful for a new player that wants to get right into the game without watching a lot of you tube tutorials upfront which takes time. Lots of solid info is right here without having to search through videos.
