Something is creating script Errors

[Korikazu lukashikari]

when i start a new game i get an error massage on the top left corner saying (Something is creating script Errors) then when i try to open the prop spawn menu by pressing or holding (Q) but nothing happens i need help ASAP

[Robb]

You have an addon that is creating script errors, as for the Q menu try resetting the keyboard bindings to default

but when i get in the addons on steam there are none while in game there are none as well
plus when i opened the command interface there was this

[ERROR] gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/cl_hints.lua:18: attempt to index global 'GAMEMODE' (a nil value)
1. ThrowHint - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/cl_hints.lua:18
2. unknown - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/cl_hints.lua:32

lol its the default sandbox gamemode causing you issues, close the game > right click > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache.

That should fix this

[Korikazu lukashikari]

well i tried again and everything worked just fine in a multplayer server but in singleplayer nothing works

[Robb]

did you try my method?

"close the game > right click > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache. "

you need to do that to replace the broken file, the reason multiplayer works is because they all use their own gamemode files that you then use to connect with.

it said 36 files failed to validate and will be reaccuired
what does thet mean

[Robb]

It means that it has found 36 corrupt "Broken" files and is now replacing them file via download, its more than likely already finished.

Just start you game and try to launch SINGLE player and see if this has fixed the issue.

disk read error popped up when trying to update and i saw a few other tutorials about that then one said to open the content_log and find the LOCKED file i found this

4000 update canceled : File commit failed: previous install file locked "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\gamemodes\sandbox\gamemode\spawnmenu\controls\control_presets.lua" (Disk read failure)

i went into the download destination but i didn't find the last folder it is missing control_presets.lua

[Robb]

ahhh easy enough to fix this, go to;

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

and delete the "sandbox" folder. Once you've done that go back and repeat this step;

close the game > right click > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache

Doing this will re-download the sandbox folder thus fixing your issue.

Let me know if it does or doesnt.

i wasn't able to delete it even from the administrator WHAT SHALL I DO

[Robb]

try renaming it sanbox.old, you should be logged in on the admin account or have administrator privileges on your computer to do so

[Korikazu lukashikari]

i wasnt able to delete the FOLDERS them selves but i got in and i deleted the subfolders all of them are gone except for the one called (preset editor .lua) and i can't delete it

[Robb]

can you rename it?

[Korikazu lukashikari]

it says that i need permission to rename it but why im in the admin

[Robb]

you're not the admin if it says you need permissions to do this
