I'm Trying to install *TeamSpen210's* HammerAddons for Garrys mod!

[limber quiver]

I'm Trying to install TeamSpen210's HammerAddons for Garrys mod but i am a bit overwhelmed by Garry's Mod's gameinfo.txt file, i understand that its ment to be installed for Portal 2, but Portal 2's gameinfo.txt file is just so diffrent from Garry's Mod's.

And now i dont know what to do, i installed Iit for Portal 2 previously, so i have the file, its just the gameinfo.txt of Garry's Mod

In the meantime while waiting, i will add my Custom Textures into Garry's mod already. I know how to do that already, i only really want HA for when compiling so that the Textures are within the .bsp file.

visit TeamSpen210 git hub site it has instructions, all you add to the gameinfo.txt is hammer directory

[limber quiver]

Guess what, i did, but the thing is, There are only instructions for Portal 2, garry's mod's gameinfo.txt is just So diffrent from Portal 2's

[obtuse tulip]

or try this https://github.com/darvil82/HAInstaller?tab=readme-ov-file

[limber quiver]

Great!

[obtuse tulip]

its adding one line put it above

[limber quiver]

put what above this?

[obtuse tulip]

where it says append hammer in gameinfo.txt

[limber quiver]

Also, it looks like Garrys mod isnt compatible.

[obtuse tulip]

its says edit srctools.vdf with the game

[limber quiver]

huh?

[obtuse tulip]

when you install the program it'll have a file srctools.vdf open that in notepad++ and type in the path to gmod

[limber quiver]

I- i am so confused.

You know, ill just look a youtube tutorial on how to add textures to a mod on garrys mod

[obtuse tulip]

it installing hammer addons is hard to do don't install it it'll make using hammer harder for you if your confused now :/

[jagged grotto]

This is unofficial and broken

[obtuse tulip]

oh ok 😦

[jagged grotto]

Hammer Addons is overkill if all you want to do is pack custom textures

[limber quiver]

maybe... How can i pack custom textures into my map?

[obtuse tulip]

use Vide theres a youtube video for it

[jagged grotto]

There are plenty of other programs that can pack files into a BSP

[limber quiver]

i mean, i can also probably pack it into the addon folder

like....

[jagged grotto]

Nah you should pack it into the BSP
Especially if you're overriding any existing assets

[limber quiver]

i'm not, full on new texture

no override

[jagged grotto]

Well generally it's better to pack into the BSP

[limber quiver]

Why?

does it even matter?

[jagged grotto]

I think it only loads the assets with the map
While if they're loose in the addon, it loads them at all times

[limber quiver]

Well, i only plan to add 2 to 4 textures.

but tell me, how do i pack it in the bsp?

[jagged grotto]

Still
Best practices and all that
You're going to need to learn it anyway

[limber quiver]

Okay, tell me how to?

[jagged grotto]

Try Vide like Taz suggested

[limber quiver]

do you have one?

[jagged grotto]

No

[limber quiver]

i mean some video you can share

[jagged grotto]

I know
Still no
