How to Start a GMOD DarkRP Server

Are you eager to start a Garry's Mod (GMOD) DarkRP server, but don't know where to begin? Starting a GMOD DarkRP server can seem like a daunting task, especially if you're new to the world of game hosting. Fear not! This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step necessary to get your GMOD DarkRP server up and running.

Step 1: Locate Your Garry's Mod Files

First things first, you need to locate your Garry's Mod files. You can do this by right-clicking on Garry's Mod in your Steam Library, selecting 'Properties,' then navigating to 'Local Files' > 'Browse Local Files.' This should take you directly to the GarrysMod folder.

Next, navigate to the 'Bin' folder within the GarrysMod directory. Inside, you should find Gmad.exe, which is a crucial file for creating and managing your GMOD server.

Step 2: Unpack Your Addons

Now that you have located your Garry's Mod files, it's time to unpack any GMA files named after the addons you've recently installed. These files need to be unpacked so that your server can recognize them.

To do this, navigate back to the GarrysMod folder and then select 'Addons.' You should see a list of available addons, including DarkRP. Choose the ones you want to add to your server by selecting them and clicking 'Subscribe' through the Steam Workshop.

Once you've installed the desired addons, they will be downloaded locally to your PC. You can find these files in your Garry's Mod Directory.

Step 3: Add Your Addons to Your Server

Now it's time to add your newly installed addons to your GMOD DarkRP server. To do this, follow these steps:

* Start up Gmad.exe by double-clicking on the file.

* Select 'Create a new game' and choose the type of game you want to create (in this case, GMOD).

* Browse to the location where your addons are stored (usually the Addons folder within your GarrysMod directory) and select them one by one. This will add them to your server.

And that's it! With these simple steps, you should now have a fully functional GMOD DarkRP server up and running. Thank you for choosing us as your Garry's Mod Game Server Host, and we hope you enjoy playing on your new server.
