There's already a model browser in "Sandbox". Funfact, GMod 2.0 is called "S&Box"; seperating custom sandcastles "and" the Box of which you have to think outside of. "nZombies", "Bhop", "TTT", they are called Gamemodes for a reason. They restrict Sandbox features. Fortnite Creative, Roblox Studio is the same way. Gmod is just on a higher level in my opinion.

Does this work for submaterial?

can you add a model browser

You don't need to always use the console command, just bind it to a keyboard key (For me I use the L key)

Why need use console commаnd? Is there context menu upper-left icon like in the thumbаil?

The last comment in here maybe 1 year ago, but I have a question, where is the materials folder this addon enables you to browse through? I have looked in my Garry's Mod files while finding nothing there. Any solutions?

So in Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons?
Do i just put the vtf in the materials folder and it'll be there or is there more to it?
Sparkz  [author] May 22, 2021 @ 11:31am 
iirc materials are now loaded via vpks and addon packages, but you can still add a materials folder in that directory and put your files there
Ωmega Otto Mercik May 22, 2021 @ 11:06am 
question, where are the materials for the material browser located in the gmod files?
Because I wanna add a custom texture to the list but can't find it, since the material file in Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod doesn't contain the material browser materials

Clay Dec 2, 2019 @ 1:44pm 
I must say. this is an amazing addon. I do have a segestion to make it even better tho. What if it had the option to be used with the ROPE tool!! That would be swell.

Твой парсер материала сломался и не хочет больше работать.Это БУНД!

garbage
Adam Jul 6, 2018 @ 9:08am 
Christ, you can't fix the non-working materials!
One way to get the material even if it's not working is to install Adv Material Tool, copy the 'path' of the material, paste it in the Adv Material tool and boom. If I'm not clear, I'll make it step by step..
MyUsername Jan 8, 2018 @ 5:43pm 
where do you get the materials from, i am trying to find the folder for it, but I cant
СБУ 13 25 Sep 22, 2017 @ 5:31am 
Most of the material does not work, the developer fix it. =(
RedChaosScrungle (They/Them) Oct 28, 2016 @ 3:27am 
@Phulax Agreed. :/
Phulax Aug 13, 2016 @ 6:04am 
99% of the materials don't work..

How do you allow materials?

I tried to load up my own texture. It appears in the browser, but it does not wrap my entities, and I get this error in the console: There are more memory codes and crap in the console too, but this looked like the important stuff. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix?

The materials files merge on ONE model
LineX240 Apr 20, 2015 @ 8:43am 
It would be great if we could apply more files materials on ONE model, it would for example: the toy chica model by i6nis becomes the toy chica model by splinks

ive noticed that i cant set the material override to the selected texture i usually do ( material_override [material filepath] but this has no effect when i copy the material name and paste it in the override
RedChaosScrungle (They/Them) Aug 29, 2014 @ 5:58pm 
How do i put my own materials in there?, i want to know so i can fix my poor sandwich model
Mann Jul 10, 2014 @ 6:30am 
I like it, but can it have a search bar somewhere making it easier to find the materials?
Can we see more!!
Coping Kobold Apr 19, 2014 @ 1:44pm 
Would it really be that difficult to add an option disable the 99.99% of textures that don't actually work? Finding a texture you want that actually works literally takes hours.
Tuxflop Apr 3, 2014 @ 8:42pm 
Where do I find the grass texture?
I use the ones in the gm_construct file but they either make the prop invisible or just don't work at all.
Sparkz  [author] Feb 8, 2014 @ 3:46pm 
@SonicSuperBoom1 - I don't think that functionality works anymore. I'll try to look into it sometime.
Bob Abooey Feb 8, 2014 @ 12:45pm 
My custom texture doesn't appear when I put it on props
Sparkz  [author] Jan 31, 2014 @ 10:42am 
@Two normals and one Crazy - lol, thanks
Viribus-Unitis Jan 31, 2014 @ 4:00am 
@SparkZ forget it has already done;) is probably crashed because I have what pressured wrong ps: stay healthy beautiful :)
Sparkz  [author] Jan 27, 2014 @ 9:34pm 
@Two normals and one Crazy - Does your game crash when you try to open this? If not, I doubt it's my addon that's causing it.
Viribus-Unitis Jan 25, 2014 @ 3:38am 
i have download this but my game is now crash in every 5 minutes :\ is it my game or you addon?

@SparkZ
I Dug In The L4D2 Stuff And Wanted The Health Bar For A Screen Shot(Dont Have Photoshop So It Would Be Faster) But It Wont Load, How Would I Get It To Work?
thunderslug106 Oct 12, 2013 @ 9:15am 
Most materials don't work for mee! Only GMOW (Garrys Mod On Wheels) textures work! HELP MEE!!!!!!!!!
Sparkz  [author] Jul 11, 2013 @ 10:50pm 
@MacDGuy - Glad to hear it!
MacDGuy Jul 10, 2013 @ 1:30am 
Very handy. Thanks!
Sparkz  [author] Jul 1, 2013 @ 1:33pm 
@coolman6622 - Did you type 'materialmenu_open' in the console? If you can't do that, then did you try restarting GMod? Or unsubscribe/resubscribe?
krinola Jul 1, 2013 @ 5:58am 
I like the video but its not on my Garrys mod.
Sparkz  [author] Jun 2, 2013 @ 10:39pm 
@Skulkan6 - It's a clientside mod, so either everyone needs to have it installed or you're going to have to make the server force them to download and run it.
Skeletorso Jun 2, 2013 @ 10:44am 
Will this work on servers or would they have to support it?
TheAleG Jan 13, 2013 @ 6:23pm 
you will release a version with no file limit. for people with fast system?
INCONCEIVABLE! Dec 6, 2012 @ 2:58pm 
Sparks, it would be real nice if you added this to a stool. On fire, run the 'materialmenu_open' con command, and alt fire run 'mat_texture_list 1'. I'd do it myself but i'm busy at the moment. Just a thought.
