ATTN: new Gmod players

[Dr Nick]

Garry's Mod 10 needs at least one of these source games:

The reason is because when you buy one, you also get the Source SDK(for mapping, making mods, etc.) and the SDK base, which Garry's Mod runs on.

Ok, I installed Gmod 9 and it installed Source SDK base, does that mean I have to be running SDK base for Gmod 9 to run?
This is startign to confuse me... I better wright this down.

[Dr Nick]

No, since you didn't buy a game, you don't own SDK Base.

[Sargent_Hawk]

Oh crap... will a demo that's supposed to come with SDK base(if one exists) work?(If so what demo is it?)

Edit:

No, since you didn't buy a game, you don't own SDK Base.

I bought HL2 EP pack, does that change anything?

[Dr Nick]

If you bought the HL2 pack, then you should have the SDK Base, GMod 9 should run fine.

[Sargent_Hawk]

Well, now I'm right back where I started...
Ok, I gotta' make a list of this real quick, help peple helping me know what's happening(without going through other pages).

Half life 2: episode 1, 2 and deathmatch

Gmod 9

Tried:
Changing "220" in the MOTD file in Gmod 9 untill it showed up, then changed it back,(if that's the problem a simple reinstall would fix)

Ran Source SDK base, only real option was "video stress test" so I tried that,(for 29 FPS through out the whole thing)

Restarting Steam(20 times)

Restarting my computer

Things I noticed that might help(but havin't tried yet):

Installing HL2: lost coast Tchinese(want to install when I try and run Gmod9)

have SDK base running while playing Gmod9.

Other then changing the MOTD(then changing it back), I have NOT modded ANYTHING inside the Steam folder.

If anyone spots a problem with this(other then typos, I'm sure you noticed I make them alot )let me know.

[Dr Nick]

Have you restarted Steam?

[Sargent_Hawk]

Lol, everyone suggests restarting Steam, even though I restarted it over 20 times(even tried restarting my computer), but thatnks, I forgot to add that to my list.
Well shit, Steam updated and now Gmod 9 won't even show up on "My games", can someone help me with this?(Yes I tried restarting it again)

[Dr Nick]

It should be working, or at the least, showing up in Steam.

I think this is one of those cases where you have to refer to the be all and end all solution to problems with Garry's mod 9.

Get Garry's mod 10. :/
