How to change a gamemode on garrys mod 13

garrys-mod

I want to change my Garry's mod gamemode to stranded, but unfortunately the only information I've found is either for dedicated servers or port forwarded servers. I've looked up for LAN and the same videos pop up.

How can I change the gamemode on Garry's mod to Garry's mod stranded?

If you are using the version of stranded found on the workshop, then you should be able to find it by clicking sandbox located in the bottom right of your screen whilst on the main menu. If you found stranded in a location other than the steam workshop (eg. http://garrysmod.org), then it is more than likely outdated due to the major changes between Garry's Mod 12 and Garry's Mod 13.

Stranded is not default with Garry's Mod, so if you haven't already acquired it, then you can download it off the workshop (here is the more or less official version http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133364818).

Posting this question/answer here, since the solution doesn't appear to exist anywhere else (outside of my own steam forums post):

Apparently Garry's Mod uses Internet Explorer somehow for its "FastDL" downloading. If Internet Explorer can't connect to the internet for whatever reason, then Garry's Mod won't download anything.

In my case, IE was set to offline-mode. Setting it to online fixed the issue.

Other things you can try:

Make sure Options --> Multiplayer --> Download Custom Content is set to Allow All Custom Files From Server
Try adding the following lines to the bottom of your garry's mod config file, located at Steam\steamapps\<username>\garrysmod\garrysmod\cfg\config.cfg:
```
cl_allowdownload 1
cl_downloadfilter all
download_debug 0
sv_downloadurl ""
```
Verify the integrity of the game files. Within Steam: Library --> Garry's Mod --> Right Click --> Properties --> Local Files --> "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"
Try disabling your firewall/antivirus, or possibly other non-essential programs/services running.
Try deleting your maps, lua, addons, and cache folders in the garrysmod folder, located at Steam\steamapps\<username>\garrysmod\garrysmod. Then verify your cache again.
As a last resort, uninstall Garry's Mod completely and delete the garrysmod folder (which you'll have to do by hand, because there will be leftover files), then reinstall.

Garry’s mod prop location

You can't find them because Garry's mod uses the props and textures from other games like Counter-Strike:Source. Look in these files and you will find everything you need.
