Is it possible to get the -textmode back on the parameters on the launch?

Cant run the game in command line after the update. :: Garry's Mod ...

-novid -nosound -nojoy -noipx -nopreload -nod3d9ex -low -textmode +sv_lan 1 +map "gm_flatgrass" +achievement_debug 1 does not work anymore, it launched the game. Does anyone have updated launch commands to run the game in cmd?

I don't get the purpose of textmode. Genuinely do not understand the case use for that.

for the 1 year achievement

#

you can leave the game open in the background while minimising resources used

#

its just a pain because this achievements gonna be practically impossible for most people

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

I mean, I got the achievement by playing the game.

#

Few times I've left the game on when I went to sleep, sure.

#

queen wing I mean, I got the achievement by playing the game.

i dont want to play it for a year straight though

#

because it just isnt really that fun imo

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

You don't have to constantly play the game, lol

hearty girder Jul 31, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

well if i wanna get the achievement asap

#

i kind of have to

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

Just leave it running when you go to bed or have it on while doing something else.

hearty girder Jul 31, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

#

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

#

I usually afk on a server with a micro PC with , while farming pointshop points.

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

pointshop points?

shrewd harbor Jul 31, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

And its a fanless PC and use less resource while on CMD Text mode.

vale umbra Jul 31, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

yeah that's definitely not what you are supposed to do

shrewd harbor Jul 31, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

queen wing pointshop points?

Ye on a server. Many ppl afk and you get points hehe.

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

I mean, that completely destroys the purpose of playing on the server...

vale umbra Jul 31, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

if you want the achievement that badly just use the cheat tool for it, it's basically what you'd be doing with textmode either way

shrewd harbor Jul 31, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

queen wing I mean, that completely destroys the purpose of playing on the server...

its not because sometimes I do play it on.

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

Well, i don't know what server has that type of currency but now days servers with micro currency economies usually get busted regardless.

shrewd harbor Jul 31, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

It's called Swamp Cinema.

#

It's a cinema server

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

Oh, that server....

shrewd harbor Jul 31, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

ye lol

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

I see why that server constantly has a high playercount then.

shrewd harbor Jul 31, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

#

Thats the most reason why

#

many ppl afk

#

and earn points while afk.

#

thats why i used -textmode it was less resource (nojoy) controlls so i dont trigger afk system like avoiding it.

queen wing Jul 31, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

I mean, the last mention i've heard with textmode is with TF2 when Valve removed it for item farming, and that was a while back. And with Gmod removing it, I'm surprised that Gmod even had that.
