Bwhahahaha. Brilliant.

May have to have a look at SW:G, but I'm not a big fan of subscription charges. Plus, I spend enough on my machine as is. :)

Yay!
After I've had some Star Wars:Galaxies I shall give it a whirl.
Y'know, I never thought I'd get into an MMORPG game but this is fantastic stuff. Currently an Alliance Recruit and, having done various shooty missions in space, have been accepted as a Rebel Pilot.
With a Y-Wing.
And a nice Danish lass invited me to her space-house and wants to marry me, but I'm waiting for naked pictures.
Dammit, even in a Star Wars online game I pursue quim. Why?

* Close steam
* Installs to the correct place as is
* restart steam
* play games
* shows under "third party games" - garysmod
* double click
* new game

As to spawning and manipulating, the only advice I can give is "Q" opens a spawn menu. the rest is trial an error.

Ok, I've downloaded it but haven't run it.
Can somebody provide an idiot's guide as to this is going to install and how I run it once installed etc, because I don't want to foul up HL2.
Thanks

1 Question though - how do you spawn people? these were in a level i somehow ended up in - and I had to kill them.

I remember someone posting a screenshot taken from the website, but that didn't actually catch my attention at first, I only really came across this mod after seeing a post in another forum.

Besides, people really do need to know about this mod, it's bleedin mervellous.

Also, I didn't realise at first, but you can actually have a multiplayer. Obviously not being able to kill one another (seeing as god mode is on, and there aren't really many weapons to use anyway) but it'd be interesting to see what other people can make.

Yup, who cares about textures when you're allowed to mess about with one of the most impressive physics engines out there? You can even weld objects together to create all sorts of wierd and wonderful... Things... A bit like building lego.
