📰 Project description

This repository is still a work in progress. The goal is to create an 'Escape From Tarkov'-like game mode in Garry's Mod. I'm working on this project in my free time, which I don't have much of.

• Escape From Tarkov is a hardcore survival first-person shooter that I really enjoy.
• Garry's Mod is a sandbox game where you can code your own scripts.

⚙️ How to configure

If you want to configure the gamemode, please refer to the shared.lua file, which is located in gamemodes/escape_from_the_mod/gamemode. I will create a better configuration system soon

🔨 How to build

Follow these steps if you don't have a gmod server :

• Download steamCMD from this page : https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
• Put steamCMD into a folder (our server will be here)
• Run steamCMD, it will download files
• Run these commands : login anonymous and app_update 4020 validate
• Create a start.bat file (Windows) in your folder at steamapps/common/GarrysModDS

Put this into your start.bat file :

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_flatgrass +maxplayers 8 +gamemode escape_from_the_mod +host_workshop_collection "3062861647" +r_hunkalloclightmaps 0
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

You can configure this file as you wish.

Follow these steps if you have a gmod server :

• Download or clone the repository in the GarrysModDS/garrysmod/ folder
• Extract every files from the folder named Escape_From_The_Mod into garrysmod/
• Set the gamemode to escape_from_the_mod in your start.bat file (see previous steps)
