View Full Version : Garry's Mod

Yeah, I know there are already two or three GMod threads around there, but they are all dead. And the most recent one was too centered around contraptions.

So there it is. A thread about everything that involves Garry's Mod. Contraptions, ragdoll posing, Lua coding, mapping, gamemodes, mingebags, whatever. I thought I had to do it since there seems to be many GMod players here.


I will start with my Lua stuff, since it is currently what I'm doing best. So far, I have done a few useful tools but the most popular one I've ever done is the NPC Camera (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=32053), which can stick a camera in the head of most NPCs. The camera actually follows exactly the movements of the head, so it looks pretty realistic. Use it on a citizen or a rebel, and you have a perfect cameraman who will follow you wherever you go. Much fun there, and really useful for making machinimas.
I've done some SWEPs as well, the latest one being the Raveball SWEP (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=38089), an enhanced remake of an old GMod 9 weapon. Basically, it's a portable disco ball, it emits pretty lights and music, and makes all the NPCs around it dance. If you turn it off while they are having fun, they will get angry and attempt to kill each other, which is pretty hilarious.

I'm currently working on another SWEP. Basically, it turns you into a Portal turret. You can aim, fire, talk, and other players can easily carry you around and even weld you on stuff. Of course, you get disabled and can't fire anymore if you tip over. It works right now, all I have to do is making some pretty HUD, and fix some minor bugs.
I'd like to use this for a kind of class-based CTF gamemode. Basically, you can either be a human or a turret. Humans have no weapons, only a gravity gun that cannot attract stuff, only pickup them, and turrets have their powerful machine gun but can't move unless they are carried around by one of their human teammates. This should be pretty interesting to play. Maybe I will add scanner players as well, they should be able to fly around and send information about the position of the enemies to their teammates.
I don't want to talk about this on Facepunch, so if there are FP members around here, please don't talk about it over there, okay? ;)


Now about contraptions. I'm an average Wire user, and I can do turrets and more things that use deltas. The best turret I've done so far can kill 40 manhacks within 33 seconds, as you can see here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-AjcXuPkxo). I have done some other stuff as well, such as a weight controlled hot air balloon (http://kilburn.ftp.free.fr/gmscreens/gm_flatgrass0000.jpg) (feel free to laugh at my framerate), a simple Wiremod engine (http://kilburn.ftp.free.fr/gmscreens/gm_flatgrass0013.jpg), a HUGE minigun (http://kilburn.ftp.free.fr/gmscreens/gm_flatgrass0106.jpg) and a submarine (http://kilburn.ftp.free.fr/gmscreens/waterworld0000.jpg).


Ragdoll posing time. I like using unexpected elements such as the default maps and PHX props in my poses, without them looking unnatural. All of my poses are set in a construct map (either gm_construct or gm_flatgrass).
Also, most of them are retarded and don't make sense, though a few of them have some hidden meaning.
Here are all my poses in chronological order.

Why Kleiner must buy more watermelon for Lamarr (http://kilburn.ftp.free.fr/gmscreens/gm_flatgrass0110.jpg) (gm_flatgrass)
Happy birthday (http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4131/gmconstruct0013ns2.jpg) (gm_construct)
The GMod family (http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/988/gmflatgrass0005tf9.jpg) (gm_flatgrass)
G-Sniper (http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/1103/gmconstruct0006kk2.jpg) (gm_construct)
Dancing in City17 (http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9680/gmflatgrass0051px0.jpg) (gm_flatgrass)
Minge surgery (http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/4022/mingesurgerykc0.jpg) (gm_mengersponge)


Now you may wonder what the hell gm_mengersponge is. Well, it's my first map. I started it months ago, and never really finished it. It's not dead though, it's still in a WIP state. Basically, it's a huge building which has a shape based on a level 2 Menger sponge (just search on Wikipedia if you don't know what a menger sponge is). It will be a kind of all-in-one map, and should include two large build areas (a flat one that looks like gm_flatgrass and another one with some buildings and useful stuff that looks like gm_construct), an underground train system, deathmatch zones, a mingebag jail, and eventually a big city where you can do some roleplay, an arcade room where you can play some Pong and Tetris and some more useless stuff.

I think I'm done showing off my stuff. Your turn now. :cool: Of course, this is not only for showing off, so feel free to discuss about other Garry's Mod related things as well.
Also, school is over in 2 weeks for me, so I hope we will meet on some GMod server during those holidays. :p


Oh, and Robowurmz, if you say once more again that I'm an awesome Lua god... I swear I will go back into drawing worms only for drawing your sigworm suffering the most horrible death ever. :mad: You don't want that, do you?

Well, it's true that you do come up with the most unusual and awesome weapons and stuff. Plus you've got a heap of Wire Mods and they are awesome too.

I guess I'll just have to settle for "Awesome Lua King" instead then.

Garry's Mod is a sandbox physics game, where you can do anything you like. Have a look at some videos on Youtube and check out www.garrysmod.com .

Yeah, basically you can spawn anything you want, and assemble it together using mechanical constraints in order to create crazy machines. Or you can simply throw bathtubs at each other, but that's less funny. And you can download lots of addons and gamemodes, and enjoy new gameplay concepts, or building possibilities.

Anyway, robowurmz, have you ever done anything else than minging around in GMod? You have never shown me your stuff. :cool:

Garry's Mod is a mod program for Valve's Half-Life 2 game (or anything using it's hl2 engine, e.g. CS:S).

You can use it alone to do the stuff said above, or download addons to spice up the game (e.g. extra weapons, accessories, etc).

More or less like Greasemonkey (seen the deviantPLUS? okay.)

faceposing Vortigaunts

Wait... vorts are faceposable? I didn't know that, gotta give it a try then. :p Also, nice poses, especially the melon afro one.

Oft99
1 Jun 2008, 17:44
A couple more I did just now.
In the first one I probably could have done the facial expressions much much better. Oh well.
The second one is more practice at faceposing Vortigaunts and and an attempt to see if it's possible to ever make a vortigaunt look cute. I think I pulled it off quite well.

EDIT: Aaaaand another. Heh, I think it's because I looked at _Kilburn's awesome pics in the first post that got me in the mood to try it again myself.
I decided to attempt at a proper "action pic"...with explosions! and the DoF effect too.
Don't ask me why she's reaching out for a grenade.

Random idea that just came to my head. I'm putting this on a seperate post so the pictures are nice and big.
Just FYI: the drum kit looks quickly and carelessly made because there was originaly framework holding it up made of ropes but the ropes dissapear when you turn DoF on but I wanted something holding the symbols up instead of having the floating so I quickly slotted in so meat hooks but it still looks crap, I may go back and retake the picture but without DoF.
...and yes, those are pistols he has hanging out of his mouth, kinda random I know.

gm_assen (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/Bananenworst/massiveassenv301110000.jpg) + update. (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=658439&postcount=70)
And I've made a Theater, as a project for school:

I could upload alot more images but I can't be arsed.

With my server we're also making a Gmod Video using source recorder and demo smoother and stuff, previews can be found at the forum (http://likety.10.forumer.com/) (There aren't much previews yet). It's called: "The Epic Promotion Video."

You know you need only one Source game for GMod to work, right? Unless you want GMod 9.0.4, which requires lots of games, but it isn't even worth it.

The beloved Zeor Aircar. (http://g.photos.cx/gm_construct0020-0b.jpg) Not the most techincally impressive GMod innovation, but it was pretty satisfying to actually concieve an interesting idea and put it successfully into action and create something fun. That's why GMod is great.

And the AirCar Mk. II (http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/6492/gmconstruct0138ku6.jpg), with a wide battery of performance improvements, and the guns mounted safely on the end of poles so they don't blow the thing up if you fire them while moving forward.

And now, ragdolls.

Ok, well, today I've been working on a new Train, a 4-8-2 'Mountain Type' Steam Locomotive.
I used the Frisco 1522 (http://www.frisco1522.org/sm3qtr.jpg) as a reference.

Click 'em!

I know it isn't supposed to have 2 small drivers at the back (It should've 1)(I'm not sure if Paul reads this thread :P). And it isn't able to move trough corners in gm_wireconstruct_rc because it's too long, I'm gonna work on that too, make the front and rear drivers turnable or soemthing, I like it anyway. And it's not yet wired, but I'll work on that an other day. And I'll work on other small details like smoke and stuff too.

I also tried to get a train working with the good old Steam Train mechanism (http://homepage.mac.com/shirleyg/loco/rodsmall.gif), but hydraulics are just too weak, also if you use the weight-change, it's or too weak or it goes flippin'. Also tried it with thrusters and forcers, They made it hop up and down like a mad bull, and if it didn't hop, it was too weak...

This pic took me a little over 2 hours and an age to get the camera position just right so I bloody well hope it was worth it.

Also, working on a "small" coding/mapping project for GMod. Basically, it's a kind of Portal parody, but with a physgun and a toolgun replacing the portal gun. The story takes place in a secret laboratory under gm_construct used by Garry for testing experimental features, and you are one of the test subjects (or beta-testers).
Puzzles will be mostly focused on physics, and you may even have to build mini contraptions for completing a level. There may be Wiremod bonus puzzles as well. :p
Will feature mingebag turrets, melon (it's a lie), and Weighted Companion Cargo Container. :cool:

Wow, that's a real nice map you've got there. I bet you've got a whole bunch of references.

I like the view out the window of gm_construct too, that's a good touch.


ALSO: Likety, in your server the elevator doesn't work; this is because the counterweight's weight was changed; I've set it to equal weight as the elevator itself, and it's powerable by thruster and button thingies.

Hopefully it'll have left my buttons and thruster already there, so elevator travel for all, down into the rocket building pits!

Sounds like Wireconstruct. :p Anyway, exams are almost over. I can't wait till I go back home and play GMod again. One more week. :D

Also, I think something is pretty much wrong about my map. It does sure look nice, but the design has really nothing to do with the "primitive" technology you see in Garry's Mod, where all you need is a bathtub and a few wheels to make a working car. The doors look too complex, I will probably replace them by a blast door that opens and closes using a hydraulic. And I should probably add a more gm_construct-like feeling to it, such as brick walls and warmer lighting.

On the other hand, a different feeling from the one you usually have while playing Garry's Mod may be interesting as well, it can show the complexity hidden behind the game to make it this simple to use. I wanted to have a huge contrast between the starting room, with a sunny gm_construct visible through the window, and this cold underground laboratory. It looks really good in my opinion, especially with the brutal, unexpected transition between those two different worlds.

So what do you think, guys? Keep the current style, or redo it with a pure GMod atmosphere?

GMod 10 doesn't exist anymore, it has been basically replaced by GMod 11. Actually, you shouldn't call it Garry's Mod 10 or Garry's Mod 11, just Garry's Mod.
Anyway, if you don't have any Source game, get the paid version of Garry's Mod (Team Fortress 2 + Garry's Mod package will do nicely, you have two extremely awesome games in one). It will be even cheaper than purchasing all the games required for GMod 9 to run. And anyway, GMod 9 sucks.

I've got almost every Source game except the ones Gmod 9 needs to work. :P

I guess I've got to buy Gmod then. Free versions don't work apparently.

You should know, kilburn. I've seen you on certain other forums before. I like to look at the Gmod models they make and be jealous. :P

Ok, well, today I've been working on a new Train, a 4-8-2 'Mountain Type' Steam Locomotive.
I used the Frisco 1522 (http://www.frisco1522.org/sm3qtr.jpg) as a reference.

(STUFF)
Click 'em!

I know it isn't supposed to have 2 small drivers at the back (It should've 1)(I'm not sure if Paul reads this thread :P). And it isn't able to move trough corners in gm_wireconstruct_rc because it's too long, I'm gonna work on that too, make the front and rear drivers turnable or soemthing, I like it anyway. And it's not yet wired, but I'll work on that an other day. And I'll work on other small details like smoke and stuff too.

I also tried to get a train working with the good old Steam Train mechanism (http://homepage.mac.com/shirleyg/loco/rodsmall.gif), but hydraulics are just too weak, also if you use the weight-change, it's or too weak or it goes flippin'. Also tried it with thrusters and forcers, They made it hop up and down like a mad bull, and if it didn't hop, it was too weak...

Nice job (and no, I haven't been reading this thread up until now :o).

I'd have started smaller myself, maybe tried to model an 0-4-0 saddle tank or something (not that I'd have any idea of how to go about it myself. I wouldn't even know how to make the nose*), but kudos for what's clearly a big effort.


* You'll either go "Trains don't have noses, unless they're Thomas or something", or get the Red Dwarf reference.

I call it The Whirltyre (actually I don't, I just made that up. But I'll call it that from now on)

How to make:

1. Create a tractor tyre
2. Attach a tractor tyre to the tractor tyre as a wheel (max torque)
3. Attach a tractor tyre as a wheel to the tractor tyre you attached as a wheel (same controls)
4. Repeat step 3 twice more.
5. Press forward or backwards
6. Stand back, and enjoy the carnage

Solution to your problems, Teddy;

1. Tell them all about PayPal, and how secure and easy to use it is. Point them to the PayPal site, let them know their money is safe.

2. Ask them to set up an "Internet" bank account, like my family. We only put into that account what's needed for the current transaction; then, if we get fraud, we only lose about £10.

3. Birthdays. Whine about it. Ask for GMod for your birthday, and if they won't let you, then pull the waterworks lever.

It's only really complicated if you haven't used logic gates or circuitry before. Basically what it all boils down to is maths and logic and most people fail to see this.yeah. that's WAY more complicated than I'm willing to work with :p

I returned and I find you to be the creator of all this awesome stuff! :D

You've really advanced, first the forum "god" of worms 4 tweaking, now a Gmod tool designer? Who knows what else? :p

Anyway, back on topic:

What's the best prank you have ever made in Garry's mod?
I made a simple one a long while back, but the memories still entertain me to this very day.

Here's what I did: I floated a chair in the air, attached full power thrusters to the bottom, and dropped the chair. It landed perfectly, and the thrusters were even hidden underground! I used the following speech to cunningly lure my victim: :rolleyes:

"GEE, THIS SURE IS A NICE CHAIR. WHAT A PITY THAT THERE IS NO-ONE HERE TO ENJOY THIS VERY NICE CHAIR."

Immediately I got a reply "YAY CHAIR!" and a white combine soldier ran over and sat in the chair. Immediately the chair began vibrating, then rocketed off, not to be seen again for a long time.

The end. :D

robowurmz
2 Oct 2008, 07:51
I made a vending machine, with the door on hinges. Underneath the door were loads of thrusters. The door would spring back because of elastic.

So, when the unlucky chap went up to it and pushed the button, WHUMP. All I see is his ragdoll zooming away across flatgrass.

Wait, wheels of ice? Unless you're propelling it by rockets instead of wheel rotations, it would make more sense to increase friction in the wheels.

In that case, Sup, why not stick a rocket on the back at constant power to nullify the opposing friction?

Technically speaking, it would. Because, theoretically speaking anyway, two opposite forces cancel each other out, there'd be no difference between a high-friction object with extra force and a low-friction object without. Presuming that the force by the thruster is less than the force caused by friction.
