I've reinstalled them, and they work. Thanks.

Glad I could help.


Something I did just this morning. I love the Combines, and I love Link. Put the two together...

Wow, how many people here actually went out and got Gmod on account of this thread?

*raises hand*

Ok, here is my first one. I've always been a proponent of a steam punk/futuristic Zelda, so my first shot is in this style.

Before you ask, no I did not make the airship. It is a map you can download here.

By the way, is there some way you can make your character hover when moving stuff (like how you can do that in Halo 3)? To get this shot I had to do a whole network of floating platforms to stand on.
Furthermore, how do you set respawn points? Or teleporters, maybe? Every time I accidentally fell to my death, or accidentally got chopped up by a propeller making this, I had to work my way back through the map, which was annoying.

Also, has anybody else had problems with the Argorok Armored model? with me, it just spazzes around like it's clipping, even when I freeze it in place. Thats why I had to use a different dragon.

You know it would be nice if there were link mods for Oblivion.

1. yes, its called noclip. I think the default hotkey is V, if not try typing "noclip" in the console.
2.Not to my knowlage. But if you have noclip it takes like 10 seconds to get to the other side of gm_flatgrass.
3.Yes, Argorak armoured as a real pain. I was going to do a load of soldiers shooting him but he just refused to stay still.

Here are your answers Pong:
1. Press V and try moving, it allows you to basically fly. Hold shift to go faster, and press V again to turn it off.
2. You cant (without many extra mods), but the answer to number 1 makes this pretty unneeded.
3. Yes, big models have trouble with stuff like that. The reason that dragon worked better was because it is an easy bug to fix, but it has to be done when it is modeled, so you couldn't fix it without changing the entire models. So yes, it happens, and no, you cant fix it.

Now about the pic, Its very good for a first, the angle was just right. However, lighting is completely absent, which can be fixed very easily by doing this:
1. Press and hold Q to go to the menu.
2. Choose the "Post Processing" tab.
Now experiment with these settings, mostly Simple DOF, Bloom, and Sunbeams, though Color Mod can be useful in adding more color to environments. I know way to many maps, so tell me if your in need of scenery. Also, I highly recommend this map, its very Zelda-ey

Hopefully this helped!

EDIT: Well, Price already answered these, but I still put a ton more info so it doesn't matter.

Something else we both forgot on noclipping (V).
Press the control button, it is the crouch button but when noclipping it makes you move slowly, useful for placing hands on things.

Actually, I didn't know that xD

Oh, I should definetley put this up, I made this picture to demonstrate the differences between the Twilight Princess Link model (left) and the Brawl model (Right). Look closely and you can tell the differences.

@wrath of pong: really cool. Like they said, lighting is a bit lacking, but everything else looks cool. Incidentally, a boss battle with a dragon on top of a zeppelin would be awesome.

By the way, I downloaded the Brawl model. However, the only one in the pack has the sword and sheild on. Are there any where they are off his back? Otherwise, if I give them to him he would have two.

Download the bodygroup changer, then change his bodygroup to 1-2.

You should also play around with different combinations of the body changer, 3-3 is the highest I think but if you want to have his shield on his back but sword in hand you can. It's a pretty annoying tool in my opinion, but it is worth it.

I have a few questions.

How do you sit down in a chair? I was doing it before, but now I don't remember how I did it (I thought it was E, but that only makes a chime now).

Is there a way to shrink or enlarge an object? The inflate one only works on characters.

What is PheoniX-SVA (or something like that) and where can I get it?

What is Wiremod and where can I get it?

Is there a model pack that will allow me to spawn buildings?

How do you make water?

How do you pick up items?

Ok, here's my first go at it. Tell me what you think.

Is there a way to lock something into position without also locking it in that point in space? For instance, I got Link and Epona all posed right when it was on the ground, but I couldn't move it over the canyon without unfreezing everything, because everything was stuck on the ground. Thus, I had to do the whole damn thing again.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a ragdoll of Midna in human form? I tried this one, but gmod can't find it when I try to get it out; the folder won't show up.

Oh no! Link isn't going to make the jump!

Nice job, Hell Hawk. I like the red lighting, but the placement of the enemies and static pose of Epona keep this shot from being as dramatic as it could be. But this is a fine first try!

What do you mean by static? How can I improve it?

The pose of Epona doesn't make it look like she even tried to make the jump and the enemies seem more like they're just hanging out...maybe you should try adjusting the camera to make the more menacing...I dunno.

And while I've never messed with Gmod myself, I would try using no-clip for your posing issues (as I've heard you can do).

I like the idea, don't get me wrong.

1. Under the "vehicles" tab are chairs you can sit on. press E.
2. not to my knowlage
3. a pack full of props. You can get it from garrysmod.org
4. The same.
5. no, but you can make your own out of pieces of wood or metal. However if you get the advanced duplicator i am sure there are ready made ones on garrysmod.org
6. you cant. But there are maps with water in, like gm_hugeflatgrassconstruct or gm_reaction
7. use the gravity gun. The physics gun is better though.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a ragdoll of Midna in human form? I tried this one, but gmod can't find it when I try to get it out; the folder won't show up.

I think thats the only one, it works for me, have you trawled through the "browse" section in the menu?
Also, some things need certain games to work, do you have Episode 1 and episode 2 for HL2?

The is an resizer tool, also at Garrysmod.org but it's very buggy so it should be used only for scenes and not for building or anything.
