F.A.Q. regarding Games supports and Missing Textures
Please read carefully this article before posting support request or submitting bug-report about custom content, missing content or Counter-Strike Source content.


■ Why we doesn't include or pack the content we used from other Valve games into our levels?

  • First, because it is simply the opposite goal of Garry's Mod. It seems silly to remind it, Garry's Mod original main purpose is to create content on various other supported Source games, with their content and share it with users who have the same content.

  • Secondly, because it is against Valve and Garry's Mod policy and term of use of Steam and their game. In other word, we cannot get a paid game, extract its content and redistribute it for free...

  • And finally, this point only concern developers: data size that every user or studio have on Steam cloud is obviously limited : you have a maximum amount of space that you can store on your whole SteamCloud. Even if we were allowed to pack the content we used in our work, this would add many weight to the addon for nothing.


■ If you encounter missing content: purple/black textures, "ERROR" models, missing sounds or particles:

  • First, check that you have the required others addons, if needed.

  • Check that you own the required game(s), and ensure that its support is enabled in Garry's Mod.

  • Test/verify/or disable your other personal addons that can cause issues in some case.


Before release, all of our publications are tested under clean computers on the vanilla game (the base game unmodified), without any addon or changes.
Also keep in mind that having too many game modifications or addons is never a good idea for stability and optimization.


As troubles with missing content is on the user's side, we not provide support for your own computer and the changes you've made.
