Garry's Mod: Create your own server - it's that easy
If you want to play Garry's Mod locally or online with your friends, you can create your own server. Our instructions will help you and show you exactly how to do this.
Create your own server for Garry's Mod
- Open the following Steam website and download the SteamCMD below.
- Unzip the file and start it. Wait a moment for the download to finish.
- With the command "login anonymous" you are logged into the SteamCMD. Confirm each command with the [Enter] key.
- Now enter the command "force_install_dir C: \ Users \ Tim \ Desktop \ Garry \". Replace "Tim" with your own Windows user.
- The "app_update 4020" command downloads the server for Garry's Mod.
- This may take a few minutes. You can then close the SteamCMD with "quit".
Start your own Garry's Mod Server
To start the server you also need a start file. This is created quite quickly:
- Open the newly created "Garry" folder on your desktop and right-click to insert a new text document.
- Enter the command "srcds.exe -console -maxplayers 16 -game garrysmod + gamemode terrortown + map gm_flatgrass". The values can be changed as desired.
- Click on "Save As" under "File" above and name the file "Start.bat".
- Select "All files" as the file type and click the "Save" button.
- If you start the file, the server will start. Your friends can join using the "connect" command followed by your IP on the console.
