-shaydrie)
1: Download the free example file. [file.io] (made by me)

2: Extract the zip into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons


3: (make sure it is just the folder and not the zip and it has 3 folders inside of it.)
CUSTOMIZING

STEP 1

1: Once you did everything; go into shay\lua\entities and open the lua file.

2: Once you do that go to the top of the window and go:
( Edit > Replace )

3: Put Find What as "Shay" and put Replace with as your character's name.

STEP 2

1: Basically replace every file/folder that has the name "shay" as your characters name.

2: Go to shay\materials\entities and replace the picture with your desired characters picture.
(Recommended: If you have paint.net, open the picture than insert your character's picture and adjust the size to fit.)

3: Go to shay\materials\npc_shay and replace all the file's named "shay" into your characters picture.

4: While still in shay\materials\npc_shay open all of the .vmt/.vtf files and edit "shay" into your characters name.

STEP 3

1: Open GMod to test if it works :]

STEP 4
{Optional}

1: Download GMPublisher [github.com]

2: Open where it says "addon path" and select the folder where your nextbot is.

3: Put a thumbnail, tags, and publish!

4: You can go onto your workshop and go onto the page to edit it and such.
Finished!

Hi! How do I turn the temporary folder back into a .gma file? When I duplicated the nextbot's .gma and renamed it, the temp folder still had the original name minus the string of numbers and no changes were made to my duplicated and renamed .gma file.

Is there a way to fix the lighting on nextbots? On some maps, they look really bright.

what if you made an alternate version of step 4 for people who cant access the github page?
