Mac help for new comers.
« on: July 05, 2011, 01:21:13 AM »
For those of you who have found this gamemode to be fun on previous computers or heard about it from friends and just got Gmod on a Mac and have no clue what to do to put in addons, allow me to help you out.
1st: open up finder. 2nd: go to Library. 3rd: click into Application Support. 4th: go to Steam. 5th: click on SteamApps. 6th: click on the very top folder in the SteamApps category (should be your steam name or steam login name). 7th: click on garrysmod (doing it this way since this is for Gmod). 8th: click on garrysmod in the garrysmod folder. 9th: click on addons. There you have it, so it should look something like this:

Library>Application Support>Steam>SteamApps>(steam name)>garrysmod>garrysmod>addons.
If what you're looking for isn't going into addons, just hit back and put the file into the proper folder, like the .bsp file for a map (say RP_evocity_v2d or rp_evocity_v33x for example) would just go into the maps folder as ALL .bsp files should. (I know about .bsp files since I have made maps before on Source SDK as a fun pass time before hand). Hope this helps all you Mac users. (P.S. .exe files will NOT run on Mac since it's screwy like that. So no radio use on OCRP but does help since you don't have to deal with radio spam on the gamemode).Please don't make fun of people using macs PC/laptop users that aren't Apple brand since we don't have to deal with radio spam :P.
I found this out on a Youtube video and thought it'd be good to make this just in case of new members that don't know anything on their Mac's. Here's the video if you don't like flipping between windows/programs:( just skip to the time of 1:22 to hear the path of what to do to get to the addons folder for gmod.)

This is just to help out those in need. No comments needed.
