can't find background image

[pifmgr.dll]

this problem occured when i tried to play the older garry's mod from 3 to 8. however garry's mod 1, 2 and 9 did work but the rest 3 to 8? didnt work. there are 2 types of errors i got,

one is on materials/console/background01.vtf
and the second one is on materials/console/startup_loading.vtf

i got a white screen during the valve intro then when i press space or leave it playing there's the error, i did everything i could but didnt work

UPDATE: okay seems i found out the problem here, the game uses the older version of the source engine and half life 2 uses source engine 24 while gmod requires source engine 7, this means i need to change the appid to 215 (source sdk base 2006) so i think i found out the problem here,

Try verifying the game files and try again, make sure to restart your game

what game i need to verify? half life 2? garry's mod 1 to 9 is a sourcemod, it isnt standalone like gm13, so im confused whether i need to reinstall the sourcemod or i need to reinstall half life 2, but i did reinstall half life 2 but it didnt work, i'm gonna try reinstalling the sourcemod, maybe because i modified some of the files.

Sure you can try that, before starting the game again verify both GMod and every game mounted

i changed the sourcemod appid to 215 and my problem fixed, so i think it's because of engine problems
