Im pretty pissed, there were some good addons on that website that cannot be found here on Steam

There was also lots of good answers which you can't find anywhere else, removing the forums was pointless, it was not costing him any money to keep them up, he doesn't care about the garry's mod community any more.

Does this mean that we won't be able to port models into Garry's Mod anymore?

Naw, models are still being ported. It's that a lot of the info modders would use to learn how to do stuff is now obscured (if not actually gone) since it seems many (but not all) of the old threads are still available, just on an archived version of the facepunch forums, found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20190406030456/https://forum.facepunch.com/ The search doesn't work (unless I'm mistaken). But if people find a link from an internet search, that was to the old forums, they can put the rest of it on the end of that url and see the old page (if it is a page that was archived.)

I found on the new forums there is a thread about the archiving: https://knockout.chat/thread/848/1 This link gives an example of how to manipulate the url to see the old pages.

There's still a lot of people that know how to port. There's the new forums to ask questions on. We can rebuild.

I hope someone leaks archives of facepunch forums and various files in them, like model files and such.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190406030456/https://forum.facepunch.com/ As was already linked in this thread.

If you have a url from a web search to the old forums, like a specific page, put the rest of that url onto this one (the parts not already included), and it will very likely give you the archived version of the page.

I'm trying to access this page: https://forum.facepunch.com/f/fbx/qxhe/Detailed-Scenebuild-Props-by-CK/1/

Archive url: https://web.archive.org/web/20190406030456/https://forum.facepunch.com/

Url you want: https://forum.facepunch.com/f/fbx/qxhe/Detailed-Scenebuild-Props-by-CK/1/

So since the beginning of the url you want " https://forum.facepunch.com/ " is already included in the archive page link, take this much: " f/fbx/qxhe/Detailed-Scenebuild-Props-by-CK/1/ " and put on the end to create:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190406030456/https://forum.facepunch.com/f/fbx/qxhe/Detailed-Scenebuild-Props-by-CK/1/

It's archived, I see it. Good.

I've been trying to port some Pokemon from Sun and Moon into Garry's Mod but I don't know what I'm doing.

I myself don't know how to port one model as ragdoll for gmod. Spent entire day searching - couldn't find complete guide.

Here. I'll send you to the correct subforum for Facepunch games. It's not much right now but... maybe we'll all be able to rebuild it at some point: https://knockout.chat/subforum/12
Can only hope that they'll eventually give Garry's Mod it's own category on the front-page, just like Facepunch had it laid out. It's a bit of a hassle to find it otherwise.

I can imagine there was a lot of good diagnostics in that forum too. Not just where lua is concerned, but also with what problems people experience every day.
Damn, I don't know, I feel gutted discussing this, because I know there were some really dedicated people there. But I guess this Steam Forum is about the only troubleshooting that's left for people that need help now.

That blog post was a good read though. I'll encourage anybody passing by to read it as well.

Thank you.

So,

https://knockout.chat/subforum/12 , when viewed with noscript blocking everything, gives message:

"Sorry, this site requires Javascript, but if that isn't your thing you might want to try the Lite version?"

It's totally not my thing, so I chose Lite, which leads to:

https://lite.knockout.chat/

instead of to https://knockout.chat/subforum/12 .

Via lite.knockout.chat, I take more time to look around, and see board "Facepunch Games, " which is subforum/12. So thank you for confirming that is it is the place (closest to what I was looking for). I think I was in here already.

So the only thing resembling a proper Gmod Help place so far is the thread "Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread. [#1]" https://lite.knockout.chat/thread/820

A replacement to https://forum.facepunch.com/gmodhelp needs to emerge, to be its own board that contains only Help threads. Or else the help will be lost in the other types of threads. I imagine something like that will develop, but for now looks like /subforum/12 is the defacto help board.


Also, page 2 here ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/4000/discussions/5/1637536330463119556/?ctp=2 ) is explaining some things. Don't miss the link https://www.wikipunch.com/index.php/Shutdown_Crisis

It appears some of the data has been saved.
Person on that thread claims https://web.archive.org/ is being used.

I don't know how much data has been automatically archived, and how much may have been grabbed manually in a last minute hurry. Or by anyone who has paid attention in the months where was warning the forum might go down. Some organization and hosting logistics may need to be figured out.

Here is an archive of FPF through WayBack Machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20180128095059/https://forum.facepunch.com/f/

Garry had enough of the anime

[Optimus97]

How the hell are we supposed to search for Facepunch posts in an archive?

You copy the forum link and post it in the web archive thing.

but how the user supposed to know about certain link if he never was able to see it?

When you search up something like gmod models or anything the facepunch forum still comes up, but if you click on it it says its closed, all you do is copy the link.

Yes. But what about those pages which aren't featured anywhere? The ones you usually would find via search engines
