How to actually port gmod addon files(.gma) to sfm.

So, porting the gmod addon(.gma) files to sfm requires the model to have model definition launguage(.mdl) files init. Well, atleast in every gmod addon(.gma) file there needs to be the model definition language(.mdl) files or otherwise the addon will dont display the model as you need. Let's start!

Everything you need

So the programs you need is crowbar(to download the content), gmad(get on https://www.moddb.com/downloads/gmad-extractor ) and source filmmaker - its free on steam

Tutorial

So the first thing you wanna do is go on the addon page in steam and copy the id - bassically if you want this workshop item: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3237199966 then just copy the link, now what you want to do is open crowbar and go to the menu named "Download"(ussally the second menu in crowbar and put the link in the box that says "Item ID or link" and you can put the output to what you want or you can browse thru the files and make a new folder.

Once thats done open the file browser 2 times - on the first one open gmad folder and on the second one open the folder with the downloaded gmod addon(.gma) file(you can find it in your directory by going workshop, 4000, content and the id. to get the id just copy the last numbers on the link) and simply drag the gma file into the gmad.

Once done it will create a folder with some content. The last step is to put the materials and models to sfm(Source Filmmaker). To do that you need to go to the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod" on your first file browser and on our second go to the folder with the id of your model and then just drag the 2 folder into the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod" and youre done!

If the extracting doesnt work just go and in the menu click open and pick your Downloaded Gmod addon(.gma) file and then go and also in the menu click extract.

Also, if the end didnt work then try to put the folders in the folder to the materials or models folder.
