Same problem :C

Sorry for the late answer but from what I have seen is that it only supports HL2 models since they are the once that are inplemented into the addon itself. I will come back with a fix later on if I find one xD

Okay I found the solution.
I was using an editor inside of the host.

This is what you do.
- Generate a file by using the default box one time.
- Download the file from your host or local thing as explained by the uploader himself.
- Rightclick on the TXT and choose a default program to open it with, preferably notepad++.
- Go into Gmod and open up the weapons tab.
- Right click on the prefered weapon and press "Copy to clipboard".
- Go back into the notepad editor and just do a simple enter and ctrl + v.
- Back up the original file and delete it from the original location.
- Upload the new one in.
- Restart the server if needed.

Ok. I don't know whats so hard about using this box. Follow below.

1: GET NOTEPAD++
Simply google that and click the first link. Proceed to download until it's completely done.
2: PRESS THE FILE EXPLORER/FOLDER BUTTON (older computers used windows button)
if your windows 8, simply go to the bottom left and press the folder. If you have a older computer,
go to the start button and press computer.
3:PROCEED TO YOUR STEAM FOLDER
this is the folder you installed when you first installed steam. For me, it's on my desktop, so i just
press the desktop tab in file explorer, go to my folder, and open it. For most of you, open your
programs and files 86x and look for the steam folder.
4:DO THE FOLLOWING
open the folder
go to steamapps
go to common
go to GarrysMod
go to the second GarrysMod
go to data
go to codzombies
5:EDIT WITH NOTEPAD++
Right click the txt document (dont open it) thoroughly and choose the option that says "edit with notepad++" click it.
6:ADD WEAPONS
assuming you've spawned the box (you need to for the txt document to exist), go into garrys mod and right click a weapon thumbnail. Press copy to clipboard. Leave gmod and go back to the txt document (i use alt + tab), and do control v. It is important you add a weapon on each line, not all on one line.
7:PRESS SAVE
go to file, then press save.

boom, your done
have fun

Im doing everything correct,
I have Notepad++
I spawn a box in
I choose a weapon, right click, and "copy to clipboard"
I tab out and start on the forth line
I paste the weapon useing ctrl-v
I save the mysterybox.txt
But even when i do all that, the box uses the default weapons,
Im veary frustrated and confused, i've used this addon before (about a year ago) and it worked just fine, i really dont know what to do, please help me.

I think, not sure but the code is deprecated.
