Garrys Mod Multiplayer

Haven't seen these instructions in the forums (but im sure they are here and i will get yelled at for doing this =D) and given the popularity of the mod, I figured i'd tell people how to play Garry's Mod online, I suggest to do it with friends because the potential for lag (and assclowns using the RPG to create 5,000,000 Lag melons) is high:

In your console:
net_start
sv_lan 0
deathmatch 1
Then set the maximum number of players (maxplayer "1-whatever") and the map name (map "whatever") type restart and map will load, just have your friends connect to the I.P. and you should be all set.

sorry if anything is wrong, i'll be back to edit it but right now i gotta go :cheers:
 
Ya there are a ton of possibilities for making videos, and just having some serious fun, but they really are limited to small groups of friends, and best enjoyed on LAN

Click to expand...

In which case sv_lan 1

:D
 
works really well over multiplayer..

but kinda crashes my machine when a mate addedd around a 'million' manhacks to a ragdoll :D

looks pretty funny as other people look up.. :D
 
Good call iced eagle, so everything stays the same in the original instructions except it is now sv_lan 1! enjoy
 
Yea me and B-Man play it ALL the time, i mean, when we get back from college we play for around 2 hours until we get sick of my server crashing LOL :hmph:

I have got quite a few videos and pics of random fun on there, me and B-man plan to make a lil comedy video once we figure out what to put on it

Also i would advise you to know a few commands, mainly the obvious and basic ones, like

noclip
sv_cheats 1 (used to noclip and spawn NPCS - god mode does not work)
ch_createjeep or sumthin like that
ch_createairboat or woteva (it will list itself)
give npc_*putnpchere*

also do this
bind "choose a key" "+voicerecord" - providing you have a microphone, you can talk to others. Its not like CSS when u get the lil icon in the bottom corner everytime you press it, you just have to rely on others word that its working.
 
Is there anything different about version .4 that affects this?
 
I keep getting "server runs different classes" or some crap
 
You sure you typed in the IP correctly? with the 27015 or wahtever at the end? If you are on LAN remember to do SV_lan 1 not SV_lan 0 (which you use to play on the internet). Hope this helps
 
I think the next version should have some kind of cap so you can't be raped by rabbid lag... D:
The problem with that is that it could limit your SP abilities...
 
I have one up every now and then so if it's not locked or full comon in! mostly its up later at nigth 10-11PM est
 
My IP is 80.42.189.98 - its gonna be up next around 11pm UK GMT London time. Its usually up more often but i have work to do :(
 
i get a problem "failed to load sound Friends \Message.wave file probbably missing from disk/respository any suggestions
 
Im wondering can I get a list of servers you guys are running. Alot of the ones I try to join are password protected or are full.
 
d00d, me or my friend can't make a server. IPs, please :E
 
the new version has multiplayer built in (no need for ips)
can someone tell me were to find a tutorial/FAQ/commands list?
i am having problems figuring out how to use it right
 
Every time I try to join a server, it says "no maplist.txt found"

Also, you cant seem to search for servers using the ingame server finder, but you have to do it through the steam menu.
 
the search for servers function works but finding servers that are up is hard and when you do find them they are usually locked. Read a few posts up someone has an IP and times they will be on.
 
Haha the games well funny. But me misses the retarded G-Man :( *cries* i got a video of V3 chaos, its pretty funny because there was a guy noclip(ing) and i managed to rope him to the huge blue container thing, and it went flying and killed me :D:D
 
Ya, the newest version has multiplayer chat now and I think that once stability issues are worked out this has some potential for good multiplayer. (I particularly enjoy making and racing cars). If you guys have any good multiplayer shots feel free to share em here!
 
A few tips, when spawning NPC's if you spawn npc_stalker or npc_gman and kill them, the game will crash. Do not overuse manhacks or the RPG it will cause extreme lag. Overuse of the crossbow ropes lead to extreme lag. Under certain circumstance the game will crash when a few people try and manipulate the car, if possible avoid using it, its pretty unstable. For some fun attach 9000 canisters to the back of the hovercraft and send someone flying, this works very well.
 
Excuse me guys, but I have a question, how do you change the models from the bland grey 'gordon' model to the G-man or other such npc models? My friend and I dislike looking at faceless models.
 
Ya, the lackluster models really detract from teh gameplay, right now I'm not sure how to change the player model, if anyone knows or has suggestions please post them here. I'll look around for a fix but we will probably have to wait for a Garrysmod update that fixes the problem and, given the steps he has taken to make it more accessible for multiplayer i wouldnt be surprised if he fixes it soon.
 
In the newest version the multiplayer characters have a model, none other than the G-man! Also teh create a server option has been redone completely. It's an awesome mod that just keeps gettin better and better. enjoy and keep your eyes open for my server
!
 
Im happy the gman is back, but its not the spastic gman that lays down wen you look up and down, which was really funny. Online play is what makes this mod better than JB...theres just so much potential for a good time with a few mates, that you know won't fook around and make it lag. We've made ships, cards, planes, and using the new pully system attaching ragdolls to one end, then propelling a jeep across the map watching them fly. So much fun, its just awesome. However servers do crash alot for normal tasks e.g. spawning live enemies :( Most of the time its great fun, and v6 makes it even better. Garry > God > JB
 
ya, every now and then hosting a server i'll do something seemingly trivial (like deleting a flying canister) and my computer makes a noise like a fork is stuck in the fan and it gets nuked.
 
it is the spastic gman! its so cool watchin him fall face first into the floor
 
Garry's Mod V7 is out, again the multiplayer is easy enough to start with the new create server menu option, but you can still do it the old fashion way. The new numpad thrusters drastically reduce crashes because of their interactions with eachother and objects they are attached too. You can spawn as G-man, Dr. Kleiner though they are still pretty spastic. Have fun!

Quick note: It seems excessive use of the Entity Remover function
of the multi-tool results in multiplayer server crashes.
Rapid, repetitive use of the tool (hehe) seems to lead
server crashes and certain objects (I've found some
thrusters to be a problem) when removed result in
server and game crashes. Avoid using it mroe than
necessary.
