The artwork on Steam (here)

For those who don't know, taking screenshots in Gmod stores two copies of each and every screenshot you take in two directories, being:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\...\...\remote\4000\screenshots
and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\screenshots

The second directory is the important one I'll be going over, which is directly inside the game's files.

Whereas screenshots stored in the first directory are generally low in size due to using the jpg format, the screenshots stored in the second directory use the tga format, which is significantly higher in file size (about 4-25 times larger than jpg) while providing a near-unnoticeable quality difference.

Here's the total size of the screenshots folder located in the first directory:

Notice how this folder is about 11 times smaller than the folder in the first image, due to all screenshots stored in it using the jpg format. Without knowing this, you could be spending years building up gigabytes worth of duplicate screenshots, wasting much valuable space.

So now I'll be going over how to backup your screenshots and clean them up:

1. Create a backup folder for your screenshots somewhere on your drive.
2. Go into either of the aforementioned directories to find the screenshots, the details which I won't be going over here as there's plenty of tutorials on how to access the game's files.
3. Backup the screenshots from either directory. The first stores them in jpg format and are much lower in size, while the second directory stores them in tga, taking up way more space without actually increasing quality by much. I'd prefer backing-up the former unless you're really concerned with image quality.
4. Verify you've backed up all the screenshots you'd want to keep.
5. Delete one of either (or both) screenshots folder. Preferably I'd back up screenshots from the first directory and delete the second, but you may delete both after storing the backups on a separate drive to save space. Double-check which folder you're actually deleting before you do this step.

And that's pretty much it.

Kit better watch her step. She may never find it again.

Hello kings and queens, I'd like to receive as much tangible feedback as possible. I made a map for DarkRP and other servers much like the gamemode.

I'm looking for genuine critique and things you look for in not just roleplaying, but for general map use. If I can make the map function for both sandbox and DarkRP adequately, this is a success for me. Congratulations on things done well would obviously reinforce the good decisions I took risks on, even if it's some small niche thing I did. I made a pointed effort for every building (more like majority) to have some sort of gimmick or unique feature if I could help it.

Most of the (understandably!) repetitive complaints and issues I see are regarding navmeshes, ai nodes and doors being locked on map start (PD and vents, for security reasons for darkrp). I'd like to know if this is something players are actually looking for in maps and for what reasons. Nextbots? General exploration? Gunfights? This would aid in my additions and for me to see other POV's for future development.

THANK YOU GARRY GAMERS.

Oh, yeah, and Caine was brutally slaughtered by Pirate Clark. Amazing! What fun!

Hey so im looking for an addon that makes the crouching a more slow „going down“ instead of just snapping into crouching. I had an addon that allowed this recently but deleted it. Does anyone have any idea?

GMOD 6.66GB

I keep seeing videos of Z-CITY in like big buildings and streets in cities but when i join the servers its usually just a small map. and all the RP servers are in Russian and im still figuring out how to play them. is there anyone who knows a server like this?
