Garry's Mod Addon Help

[Crazyjeffy]

I'm trying to install some add-ons, and it's not workin. I looked at some tutorials on Youtube, and nothing's working. I downloaded winrar, I went to garrysmod.org, found an addon I wanted, clicked download, then I clicked save, yadda yadda yadda. I put it in the addons folder, and then I start up Garry's mod. Bam. No new stuff.

 

What am I doing wrong?

What addon was it?

[Crazyjeffy]

Vehicle collection

 

I'm trying to dowload it simply as a sample download so I can get used to downloading them XD

[Tyler]

only a couple things i can think of..

 

1.Did you leave it in the vehicle_collection and vehicle_sound folder and put those in addons?

3.Did you check your vehicles tab in game to see if they added it?

[Crazyjeffy]

When I saved the file it was titled vehicle_collection_zip.torrent, and it's a torrent file. I don't know about the sound file you're talking about.

 

And yes, I checked the vehicle tab :\ Still doesn't work.

once the torrent downloaded there should have been a .rar file, inside the .rar file there should have been a folder called garrys mod, inside garrys mod there should have been a addons and a settings folder, put the contents of the addons folder into your garrys mod addons folder(the 2 folders inside of addons should be vehicle_collection and vehicle_sound), then put the contents of settings inside your settings folder(there should be a folder called vehicles)

There's no .rar file :\ Only the torrent file.

 

And if it helps, there was no "Open" option on the file. Just "Find" and "Save"

oh so you dident unpack the torrent? If you dident download BitTorrent(http://www.bittorrent.com/) and double click the torrent file and then open it with bittorrent and then it should download, once it finishes downloading right click it and click open containing folder and it should lead you to a folder with the .rar in it

[Crazyjeffy]

So even if I have winrar I still need BitTorrent?

yep, torrents and .rars are basically the same thing but use different things to open them.
