Garry's Mod, or GMod for short, is a sandbox modification for Half-Life 2 but later became a stand-alone game. It allows the player to manipulate objects and experiment with the physics of the Source engine, often with interesting results due to the power of the engine. Being a sandbox type game there is no goal as such or a way to win, rather users are able to modify the game and play the mod however they wish. Many different gamemodes have emerged with many different objectives and styles. Some even choose to remain in the sandbox mode to construct contraptions or scenery with the props and maps from most of Valve's games.

The current version of Garry's Mod is version 13, which still receives regular updates via Steam. Before this version, it was required to have at least one Source engine game. Garry's Mod no longer requires one, although it is still possible to mount a game to be able to use its content. Valve also no longer categorizes Garry's Mod a modification, but rather as a full game, due to its ubiquity and popularity.
Overview
Garry's Mod is a game modification, created by Garry Newman in 2004, and a successor to JBMod, the original sandbox Half-Life 2 modification.[1] While GMod does not possess any actual gameplay value in a traditional sense, it enables the player to freely manipulate all of the objects and features of the Source engine except for the background features. As mentioned, this has allowed an extensive community to build up and create other mods and mini-games within GMod'. GMod can be used as a map editing tool that interfaces with Valve Software's proprietary editor Hammer to add furniture and small items through its first person interface, letting users graphically interact with their map. GMod 9 is the last free version of the modification, and was last updated to version 9.0.4 on the 27th of November 2005.[2]Garry's Mod (previously known as GMod 10) is the first commercial iteration of the mod. It was released on 29th November 2006.[3]
Most players familiar with Garry's Mod before its commercial release refer to it as Garry's Mod 10. The current version of the game does have a price tag and also requires a Source engine game to run. Essentially, almost all functionality within Garry's Mod (tools, constraints, shaders, menus, etc.) can be altered using Lua scripts and therefore can be heavily customized by the player.
Features of the mod include:
- More versatile camera tool.
- Appearance of thrusters can be altered, right down to the effects.
- Player models now visible in vehicles.
- Color-wheel within bloom and color-gun toolmodes.
- The Physics Gun is able to move any entity. (Except for other players and the map itself)
- Improved client-server interaction.
- Reworked motion-blur.
- Hydraulic tool-gun.
- Motor tool-gun: allows props to automatically rotate. Controllable with the number-pad.
- Winch Constraint tool-gun: a constraint that allows control of a length of rope at set speeds with the number-pad.
- Keep upright tool-gun
- Hoverball tool-gun: attaches hovering balls to objects and hovers them at set heights. They will allow players to make more complex flying machines as well as aid in steering such objects.
- A Morphing visual effect that allows the player's view to be distorted, in a watermarked position on the screen, this is still beta.
- A higher-quality Depth of field effect with a more intuitive interface. Can select the focal point by clicking at the point.
- The new spawn menu has a configurable system of categories and filters from a base list of all of the resources available and will also automatically generate icons for spawnable items, eliminating both the need to produce icons for every object in the world and keep up with new releases and concerns about not covering third-party creations.
- From the videos and screenshots, it appears that the connections are now dynamic.
- An inflator tool, which makes NPCs' or ragdolls' body parts smaller or bigger, but makes some NPC's or ragdoll's whole bodies inflate/deflate, such as the headcrab.
According to The Steam Review Valve had given Garry Newman, in exchange for 50% of the profits from Garry's Mod 10, the full Source engine source code to overcome the limitations of the free Source SDK.[4]
Stock tools
The tools of GMod are the most essential part of the game as they allow various aspects of the map the player is on, and the Source Engine in general, to be manipulated to create a variety of effects and contraptions, which are user built machines made from in-game props that can perform a variety of function.
- Physics Gun
Manipulates, rotates and freezes objects in mid-air, everything from ragdolls (used to create comics and ragdoll poses, with interesting results) to props. It is a slight edit of an original unused physics cannon script in Half-Life 2's code. It used to use the skin of the supercharged (light blue) Gravity Gun and the slightly altered icon of the Tau Cannon. It can now have its color changed via the Context menu (default C)
- Camera Gun
- Appearing as a large photo camera to other players, this weapon or tool allows the one using it to take screenshots by clicking the left mouse button. The HUD and the weapon viewmodel are removed while using this. Right-clicking allows a player to zoom and tilt the view and reloading resets it.
- Tool Gun
A new gun introduced in Garry's Mod that replaced the crossbow tool gun in earlier versions of the mod. The Tool Gun allows the player to use the many tools in the game such as; Rope tool, Weld tool, Balloon tool and the Thruster tool. It seems to be a modified Colt Python.
- Face Poser tool
- Gives the player the ability to adjust the faces of ragdolls, and was first seen in Version 6a.
- Paint Tool
- A tool-gun which gives the player the ability to paint decals such as blood, bird excrement, beer splash, alien blood and other substances onto different surfaces such as walls, objects and ragdolls.
- Spawn Menu
- The player can spawn items or 'props' into the map by using the spawn menu (opened by pressing and holding the Q key). This menu gives the player access to most physical objects, such as rocks or furniture, and character ragdolls, such as enemies and characters.
- Camera Tool
- This tool lets the player create a camera in the world that, upon the pressing of a designated numpad button, can shift the player's view to where the camera is pointing in order to see the world through the camera's eyes.
- Rope Tool
- Allows the player to make a rope between two solid surfaces such as; Walls, Ragdolls, NPC's and Props. The player can set how wide the rope should be and what it looks like.
- Weld Tool
- Allows the player to weld two objects together or to weld an object to a wall. The two objects will be tied together, essentially creating one object from multiple ones.
- Pulley tool
- The pulley tools take four steps. The first step is selecting the object to be attached to one end of the pulley. The second and third shots are anchors for the constraint, where the rope must go through. (The pulleys) The last step is selecting the other end of the constraint. This tool can be used to let an object move along the pulley rope in a way that real pulleys work.
- Axis tool
- The axis tool creates a point on which an object will rotate on another object.
- Ball socket tool
- The Ball Socket tool lives up to its name: It creates ball-and-socket joints on which an object can pivot and rotate in any direction.
- Balloon Gun
- Attaches floating balloons to all kinds of objects. The upward force of a balloon can be altered. The balloons themselves used to be watermelons that had been altered to fall upwards, i.e. as if they were filled with helium. As of GMod 9, the watermelons have shiny, flat color textures to appear as balloons, as opposed to previous versions where they were merely watermelons with different colors. In Garry's Mod 10, a proper balloon model was implemented to be used instead of any re-textured and recolored watermelons.
- Thruster Tool
- Attaches thrusters to an object or wall that can be controlled by the number-pad. They are essential in the function of flying contraptions and applications where land vehicles are simply not efficient or fast enough with wheels.
- Wheel Tool
- Attaches rotating wheels to anything. Once applied, the player can control the direction and speed of the wheels. There are many different types of wheels, ranging from actual car tires to saw-blades and barrels.
- Color Tool
- Allows players to change the colors of objects or certain walls using RGB sliders.
- Material Tool
- Changes the textures of objects. Can be used in conjunction with the Color Gun to create props that are many different colors and textures.
- Magnetise Tool
- Converts ordinary objects, regardless of their materials, into magnets which attach to any object or ragdoll. This tool also has a few interesting side effects, such as making breakable props unbreakable, removing all constraints from a prop and unfreezing frozen props when used. The magnetism can be altered via a slider.
- Dynamite Tool
- Creates remote explosives that can be set off with a button on the keyboard. The player can control how powerful the explosion is. Dynamite has many uses including cannons and traps in-game.
- Post-Processing Effects
- There is a number of post-processing effects that can be utilized in Garry's Mod. Some examples are depth of field - a blur effect that simulates how a camera/eye lens focuses on different distances. Bloom: an effect which causes light to spread or is an important component of HDR rendering. Color Mod: an effect that allows the way and the color intensity of the world for the player to be changed. Not all graphics cards support these features.
GMod 10 Addons
Thanks to the implementation of Lua code for Garry's Mod 10, there are countless scripted modifications for Garry's Mod. These can range from simple mods with increased life or speed, to incredibly complex gamemodes, to SWEPS (Scripted Weapons) or STOOLS (Scripted Tools). Some of the more popular game modes are:
- RolePlaying (DarkRP, Tacoscript, Cakescript, JailRP, GangwarsRP, etc.) - Roleplaying allows the player to immerse themselves in a user run world where each person has a job (like being a cook, a policeman, a gangster) and interacts with other people as their character. Conversely, some servers run as strict in character places where those playing create characters they expand over long periods of time. The Half-Life 2 universe is a common example of a place roleplayed in, in a serious format.
- Sandbox - The default gamemode for Garry's Mod. Here players can do as they feel building contraptions, traps, buildings, scenes or whatever one feels like doing. This is the most popular mode, and the default for playing singleplayer.
- Zombie Killing - Many gamemodes have been created that involve the player teaming up with other players from around the world to fight NPC zombies or NPC Antlions en masse. This general atmosphere and maps of this gamemode are usually custom-created ones of the players fighting hordes of zombies in a post-apocalyptic world though on occasion standard Valve maps can be modified to work with this gamemode.
Some of the most popular addons are:
- PHX3 - A model pack that adds many props useful for construction, such as large flat plates. Was officially added on December 15, 2010. This has been added to be included in Garry's Mod vanilla in an update.
- Wiremod - An addon that adds lots of devices that can be wired together to make complex automatic contraptions. This can range from simplistic rockets, complex computers, or guided missiles. However, this mod has been known to crash via certain updates, sometimes making the game unplayable. This mod also comes with Advanced Duplicator, a tool that allows people to save creations without having to save the game itself. This also allows people to upload their creations onto multiplayer servers.
- SpaceBuild 3 - A mod that adds things such as spacecraft and weapons. This also works with wiremod, life support 3, gas systems, and resource distribution. An effect of this is added generators such as gas reactors and solar panels, along with a limited air supply when under water.
Machinima making
Many users on Garry's forums, Facepunch Studios, have used Garry's Mod to create movies. Some examples are:
- War of the Servers a War of the Worlds parody. It is also one of the longest machinimas ever published, being approximately 100 minutes long.
- Dr. Strangeman Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Plant The Bomb, a 39-minute two-part parody/remake of the movie Dr. Strangelove.
- , a well-known collection of parodies and random silliness.
- The Gman Squad, a comedy/improv machinima series made using both Half-Life: Source and Garry's Mod, it has gained some popularity in the Gmod community. It is also by the makers of Dr. Strangeman.
- Gmod Idiot Box, created by DasBoSchitt, probably one of the most well known and famous machinimas is another comedy series that revolves around City 17, #1, Dr. Hax, Chuckles the Cheat, UberKleiner and Gravity Cat.[5]
- Half-Life: Full Life Consequences is a 5-part series based off A fanfiction of the same name by squirrelking. It stars John Freeman in his quest to defeat the combine.
Influence on popular culture
GMod has also become a tool for users to create music videos, comics and other forms of Machinima. For example, the webcomic Concerned, which parodied Half-Life 2, was made using GMod.
Currently, it is the most popular third-party modification for Half-Life 2 with online player counts beating popular Half-Life mods such as The Specialists and Sven Co-op.[6]
As seen above, many different 'Mini Mods' or gamemodes have been made by users. An example is 'Wooden Wars', where teams make vehicles or buildings out of wood, and then add weapons made up of anything from gas canisters with thrusters on them to shells launched from 'home-made' cannons. They then destroy the other team's work.[7] It was even featured on the G4 series X-Play during a Half-Life 2 special episode as the best mod for the game.
Community
Garry's Mod has a thriving internet community based around the game. There are multiple forum websites and servers creating smaller communities within the community at large. The official GMod related community is FacePunch Studios, the website run by GMod creator Garry Newman. It was also used for numerous YouTube videos.
Half-Life 2 Beta
After a while on the steam page most Half-Life 2 Beta maps like e3_terminal. Soon NPC's and Weapons would appear on there both Reskins and Ports from the original Beta.
Awards
Garry's Mod 9 has won three Mod of the Year awards:
- GameSpy: PC Mod of the Year 2005 (December 2005)
- PCGamer US - Best Mod 2005 (January 2006)
- ModDB: Mod of the Year! (January 2006)

I have Half life 2 and Gmod. There is very little NPCavailablein sandbox mode to spawn without downloading any. I know you can download NPC's and I do. I downloaded alot. The thing is I want a Hunter which is from Episode 2. I searched everywhere online but so far the hunter NPC I downloaded really sucks.
For People who do not know about Downloading NPC/models etc for GMOD. Driver samsung xpress m2020. I'm not talking about stealing models from Valve. I'm talking about downloading custom models made by the gaming community.
http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/
So if I buy Orange Box would I get more models, and NPC's like the hunter, Zombine etc in Garry's mod from Episode 1 and 2?
Garry's Modunknown
Garry's Mod or GMod is a modification for the Source game engine. It is a nonlinear physics and role playing video game that allows the player to manipulate objects and experiment with physics.
Garry's Mod was created in 2004 by Garry Newman's Team of Developers. It started out as a mod that allowed users to rope things to go together, and it made the pistol shoot out manhacks and other things to build. Since then, the game has gone through various versions, adding more and more features until it became the game based mod it is today. After the tenth version of Garry's Mod, the mod was no longer referred by its number and just called Garry's Mod.
Garry's Mod allows players to manipulate props from any Source engine game installed on their computer (or ones created by the community) using the Physics Gun, or Physgun, a blue version of Half-Life 2'sGravity Gun (the same model as the Super Gravity Gun at the end of Half Life 2 as well as some parts of Half-Life 2: Episode One) that allows objects to be picked up from any distance, adjusted in mid-air and frozen in place. A second, multi-purpose gun called the Tool Gun can perform many tasks such as weld objects together or rope them together with ropes or controllable winches, plus hanging lights and lamps, doors and buttons, or whatever the community is able to code it to perform.

A mod of which the community once thrived, now ruined by the hordes of 10 year olds with sethhack and devnull. One can no longer have fun in Garry's Mod because Seth ruined it.
Sethhack users have the ability to grab your IP and use a DDoS tool called 'devnull' made by Stan that Seth helps market to the children. So you cannot have an anti-cheat to stop sethhack, Seth and his minions will simply DDoS your server. You cannot have active admins to ban them, they will DDoS your server and your admins. You cannot call them out or make just make the game bad for them, they will just DDoS you. You cannot prop trap or counter the sethhack users in any way, they just DDoS you. Sethhack has awakened the once subtle cancer in Garry's Mod, and it will never go away. Seth has damaged the community so much it is now in a unrepairable state. If Sethhack were to go down it would soon be replaced, then Stan would sell devnull on that forum. It would be the same.

Possibly the best sandbox game in the universe. Created in 2005 by Garry Newman for a little joke, as a Half Life 2 mod. Turned out a massive success and being published as an entire game to the Steam Store. It is one of the most popular games on Steam. It uses a modified Source game engine to run and allows you to do pretty much anything. Low system requirments, high fps, lots to do, easy to get mods, over 100,000 mods. Best game ever.
