How to make custom textures for Gmod

Setup


Step 1: Create a “materials” folder in your garrysmod/garrysmod folder, if it does not already exist.



Step 2: Create a folder named the same as the map you are making the texture for in the “materials” folder.

Textures


Step 3: Put the texture you want in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder in Targa format. Photoshop or paint.NET can save an image as a Targa (I am using Paint.NET). When you save the Targa you are prompted with a box like the one below. Choose '24-bit' for the Bit Depth and un-check 'Compress (RLE).' (If your texture has transparency or an Alpha-Channel you need to save it in '32-bit.') Before you save make sure you resize the image to 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024. These are sizes accepted by Hammer and Valve in general.



Step 4: Create a blank text file with the same name as your texture name and put it in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder


Creating the Texture


Step 5: Using VTFEdit or picture editing software with a VTF plug-in turn the Targa into a VTF and put it in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder. VTFEdit is better because there are more options to choose from. You can get it here http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=178 .

First we need to import our Targa from the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder.

Click Import and browse to the Targa file and open it.

When you import it a box will open. Choose the options I have here:

Click OK and there will be a pause while it loads your image. This is normal.

Now save the VTF in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder with the same name as the Targa and the blank text file.

Now we are done with the texture.

Step 6: Using VTFEdit create the VMT file or if you know how, write your own.

With the VTF open click Tools and click Create VMT.

A box will open. Choose the texture tab.

For base texture browse to the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder and choose the VTF you created.

Then choose the options tab.

Don't worry about anything but the Surface 1 Choose the properties that would apply to your texture.

Click create and save the file in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder with the same name as the Targa, blank text file, and VTF.

If you want to write your own VMT this is the syntax:


Wrapping it up

At this point you should have 4 files all called the same thing

If this is all correct start Source SDK and choose Garry’s Mod for the Current Game.* Launch Hammer and Browse for the name of your map. Because the files are all in a folder with the name of your map you should find it by searching the name.


When releasing your map you only need to include the VMT and VMF files in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/ mapname folder.

Automatic Downloads

All Multiplayer content *SHOULD* be downloadable by simply joining the server with your multiplayer server downloads turned on.

*HINT: Sometimes after joining the first time your GMod needs to restart to load everything properly. If you are missing a lot of content when you first join, give your GMod a restart.*

Manually Subscribing to Collections

THIS WILL NOT MAKE JOINING THE SERVERS FASTER. IT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT A LOT SLOWER.

What you can do for this is simply go to the server's website you are trying to join and look for their collection pack.

Find the server you are trying to play on and hit subscribe to all at the top.

Ensure you open your gmod and let all the files download. There should be a loading bar at the bottom of the screen showing progress.

After the downloads finish, go ahead and restart your game so that everything is loaded properly for joining the server.

Join the server once you reopen your game and enjoy no errors.

Download CSS Content

Sometimes maps do not pack all their content into the maps the way most of us like. When they use CSS content this is even bigger of an issue. This can be fixed by downloading CSS Content at https://gmodcontent.com/. After downloading just extra, drag, and drop it into your garrysmod folder and restart your game.

GMOD Reinstall

In late January 2020, GMod released an update that changed the way that workshop and addon downloads are handled. If you have not done so since then I would HIGHLY *HIGHLY* recommend that you reinstall your full gmod to ensure that there are no conflicts.

Now, this does not just mean going into steam and hitting uninstall and reinstall.

You will need to manually delete some files to ensure you have the freshest install.

First, uninstall in steam as you would normally do.

Then, go into your program files and locate the Garry's Mod folder. Mine looks like this D:steamappssteamappscommonGarrysMod

  • Delete that whole folder.

Next, navigate to your workshop downloads folder which is now saved in a new location. Here is what mine looks like D:steamappssteamappsworkshopcontent4000

  • Delete that whole folder as well.

Now you are all set to reinstall through steam and can start back at step 1 if you are missing content.

Main Takeaways

  • Sometimes, if you can't see certain content a simple restart of your game can fix it.
  • Keep your custom downloads on regardless unless you want to be missing content on every server you go on (I know some people don't like all the storage but don't complain about missing stuff if you have custom downloads turned off).
  • Reinstall your GMod.
    • Frees up unused addons as well!
