<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

This tutorial is only for Steam user's that they already puchased the game ,I Created This tutorial for the help of those users who doesnt know how to install a non-workshop addon , due to The Latest Gmod's Updates

Extended Spawnmenu: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles…

<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

A: Extended Spawnmenu is a Add-on Script which add Abilities at your Spawnmenu
in this case , one of them gave us the ability to Install Addons in the old style of the gmod (Before The rise of gmod workshop)}
and find them easily via folder legacy addons on the spawnlist

A: There are 2 Reasons
    1-The addon doesn't have The Folder "Models" which it cause the addon not work completely
    2-You installed Incorrectly the folder "Models" And/or "Materials"
    3-the addon is not compatible with the game ,and only works with another (example ,SFM)




A: V
     1-.if the addon asks a Source game content like team fortress 2 , portal or Counter strike Source  , be sure to have them installed at garry's mod , if not ,you have to puchase Their games or alternative , find a page which they can give you the content
     2-. Materials are corrupted or wrong placed (example ,bad directory from the materials)



A: Its because it probably is not compatible with your game , example , The Ragdoll/prop is for only SFM
In this case ,just find another addon that has compatibility of the model
If it says is compatible with Garry's Mod , Contact with the Author of the Model



A: You can follow my new Tutorial Here GmodTutorial #2-Installing Addons For Gmod Pirated



A:-Be sure to check That you have installed Correctly the Required Workshop Addon so the Folder "Addons Legacy" would appear
   -Check that your non-workshop addons are Correctly located in The Addons folder with their names , and their "Models & Materials" Folders



A:Im not responsible of any problem you get when installing your non-workshop addon, you must be clear that the addons are uploaded and created from "their creators" , and you must check if they dont have any common problems



A:Yes , But maps has a different Installation for have them in your game,do the next , When you are inside the Game's folder , get in The Folder Garrysmod , and then instead of clicking the folders  "addons" , put your .Bsp File to The Folder "Maps" ,if in any case it has too a .nav file , put it also inside "maps" folder , it will be needed in case you want to do something with The bots in the fact of movement
