Okay, there are a lot of people of want to change the settings for the mod and the console commands don't work. So, I have your solution: just follow this simple guide. and I tried to make it freindly to any idotic moron in the world (except for spelling) just to be safe. witch means be patient.

sorry but you will need to change some code. don't worry it's not like your going to write a custom script or anything. Notepad++ is free and the type of editor I use for this kinda thing. don't try your deafult notepad app, I know it can mess with code, so its best to be safe. besides you can use it in other cfg files as well.
for those who don't know how to do this: right click the app, and select "properties", go to local files and click the button that says browse local files.
2.5. go to your addons folder
in a folder called "garrysmod"(not to be confused with "GarrysMod" witch is the whole game) go to the formentioned addons folder
use the search bar on the window. (top right for windows, top center for linux (you poor soul) and I don't know where it is on mac) and as the title suggest look for "Simple Energy Shield V2.gma".
you might need to run Notepad++ first just so this option comes up.
then type in a command (example: ses_enable) and click "find next"
if you found a line of code like: CreateConVar("ses_enable",1,bit.band(FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE,FCVAR_ARCHIVE),"Make shield active/inactive")
you did it, and now you can change the setting in that line as if it where a regualar console command. So in case you don't know what I mean. I change the setting so the ses mod would not turn on immeditly, so I change the same command up above to:

CreateConVar("ses_enable",0,bit.band(FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE,FCVAR_ARCHIVE),"Make shield active/inactive")


I hope this helped, if someone has an error, or if I made a huge mistake a forgot a step or did clarify something, feel free to CALMLY correct me for everyone else to see.
