SDK 2013 crashes when I try to open mods

[Nickisdoge]

So I tried to install the mod gordon freakman. I followed the readme.txt file and every time I open it I get this error:

"Engine Error
Could not load library client. Try restarting. If that doesn't work, verify the cache."

What can I do to fix this? also if it helps i'm doing this on a Mac and this is my first time working with any mod thats not ready to install in the workshop if you could not tell.

Maybe if it was windows I could help. Since Mac is a different OS it's hard to guide...

Ok thanks for being honest.
But the only thing i could think of it crashing is that i dont have a copy of half life 2 but i do have a copy of garry's mod. Is that the problem?

[Scarf]

Since Gordon Freakman is a half life 2 mod, it only works on half life 2 engine. Garry's mod engine is bit different.

"Engine Error

It says Engine Error so I suspect that it wont work on a ''different'' game source engine

[Nickisdoge]

wouldnt the mod just load just without any half life 2 models or textures if that was the case?

i tried it and im still getting the exact same error. i even restarted steam. can you give me a link to a mod that you know that works on SDK 2013 so i can see if it just the mod thats broken or if its the program is broken?

Creater on 19 may hmmmm....
oh well, the easiest solution is to buy hl2 and we can all go on normally with our lives :/

[Nickisdoge]

yeah that is the best option. i would do that right now if i had any money. (its real broke hours :/)

Solution is that mod wasnt probably compiled for mac or any other system you use.
Say hello to Windows, friend.

ok so i installed the mods and SDK on my laptop and thy worked perfectly. so the mac version of SDK cant run them or they dont work on the mac version.

it can work on mac if the developer of mod compiles code to support mac systems

its a dll error. you could fix it by copying sdk 2013's bin to to your mods dll. :)
