Making a Garry's Mod Server [WINDOWS]
#1
Some history of Garry's Mod:
Garry's Mod (commonly abbreviated as GMod), is a sandbox physics game created by Garry Newman and later by his company, Facepunch Studios for Microsoft Windows and OS X. Garry's Mod was originally a mod for Valve's Half-Life 2, but was later made into a standalone release in 2006.
Okay...now lets get to work...
WAIT...THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR THE WINDOWS VERSION OF GARRY'S MOD DEDICATED SERVER...NOT THE LINUX...
STEPS:
1. DOWNLOAD THIS:
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/i...eamcmd.zip
2. CREATE A FOLDER FOR STEAMCMD(like D:\steamcmd) and UNZIP THE FILE IN THAT FOLDER.
3. RUN THE EXTRACTED EXE FILE.
4. TYPE
login anonymous
5. CREATE A FOLDER FOR GARRY'S MOD(like D:\gmod)
6.TYPE
force_install_dir (path to directory)
In my case it was:
force_install_dir D:\gmod
7.THEN TYPE
app_update 4020 validate
NOTE: THE validate attribute IS OPTIONAL. You can also write
app_update 4020
BUT USING validate is RECOMMENDED.
8. STEAMCMD WILL START DOWNLOADING THE FILES...
9. ONCE IT IS DONE, IT WILL SAY:
App 4020 installed successfully
10. SO NOW YOU CAN SAFELY TYPE
exit
AND EXIT THE STEAM CONSOLE.
11. NOW FOR THE SAKE OF EASILY STARTING UP THE SERVER WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A BATCH(.bat) FILE TO DO THE WORK.
12. CREATE A NEW FILE IN NOTEPAD++ AND COPY AND PASTE THE FOLLOWING THING:
@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +gamemode sandbox +ip 1.2.3.4 +map gm_construct +maxplayers 80 -strictportbind 27015
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds
ALTERNATIVELY YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE FILE GIVEN AS AN ATTACHMENT.

.zip   start.zip (Size: 443 bytes / Downloads: 2)
DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE the ip field.
13. ALL IS DONE AND NOW YOU CAN RUN start.bat TO START YOUR GAMESERVER.
P.S.: i)THIS GUIDE DOESN'T FOCUS ON CUSTOMISING THE SERVER.
        ii)SECONDLY, THIS TUTORIAL DOESN'T MENTION HOW TO DO PORTFORWARDING.
HOPE YOU LIKED THIS...PLEASE COMMENT BELOW OR REP+ ME IF THIS HELPS YOU...
