Help with getting all the textures?
So I got GMod recently and I've been having A LOT of fun, but sometimes if I spawn in something or try another addon I get an "ERROR" or a pink and black square pattern. I know that this something with the Source Engine games that I have installed, and that I am lacking a game to get those textures. I have the following Source Engine games installed: HL2, Portal 2, and CS:S. Are there any other games that I need to get all the textures (P.S, I know that HL2:EP2 and TF2 are required, I mean the ones besides the ones that I listed).

Are they mounted? To mount your installed games do the following steps:

1. Start Up Garry's Mod
2. At the main menu, click the little Joy-Pad(Controller) at the bottom right of your screen.
3. Enable the Check Boxes next to your installed games
4. (OPTIONAL) Restart Garry's Mod
5. Start up a single player server and see if the issue still persists.

If the issue still persists, let me know!

Yeah, my games are mounted, just Portal 2 and HL2:LC were not mounted. I just mounted them and I still have the issue. I mean, it doesn't happen in sandbox mode, it only happens in TTT and the other addon game modes.

Try to look for the textures through the Steam Workshop. Sometimes, servers use custom add-ons that could be problems for users if they don't have the addons themselves.

Oh, well thanks Ghostly, that helps me a lot, but do you know any other games that can help me with the textures?

One easy thing to do is go to Steam--->Garry's Mod Workshop--->Click The Collections Tab--->Search "TTT Starter Kit---> Subscribe to All to fix a TON of textures for free!---> Rate 5? :D

^ The Simple way, but there are games that are free, that would best be used off of Steam itself and not the workshop.
