Frequently Asked Questions

How to start a game?
- Select the gamemode in the bottom right corner then start a new multiplayer game with the starting map. For Half-Life 2 that would be "d1_trainstation_01". For setting up servers there is a short guide on our Github Wiki.

It has to be a multiplayer game for it to work properly.


How do I change my playermodel or edit settings?
To access the gamemodes main menu press F1. From there you can edit various client and server settings and change your playermodel.


Are there any commands?
Yes there are a few commands. They are also accessible from the settings menu.

lambda_reset - Cleans up map and resets the round lambda_restart - Fully reloads the current map lambda_prevmap / lambda_nextmap - Changes maps according to the order of campaigns maplist lambda_voteskip - Starts a vote to skip the current map lambda_voterestart - Starts a vote to restart the current map lambda_votemap - Starts a vote to change the map lambda_votekick - Starts a vote kick


What about Half Life 1
A guy that goes by the name TheMostUpset made a brilliant Half Life 1 Coop gamemode which you can try out here.

How do I use custom weapons
Support for custom weapons does not exist yet but you can give yourself weapons with either Lua or the default "give *weaponname*" command. Note that sv_cheats have to be on for this command to work.


What about Episode 1 and Episode 2?
We moved onto other projects and sadly don't find time or motivation to continue with episodic content. The gamemode is fully open source which means anyone who wants to contribute, they can.


How to spawn props?
Spawning props is not possible because this gamemode is in no way related to sandbox. Only way you can spawn them is by Lua.


How many players does this support?
The gamemode is intended for low player counts but it should work with higher player counts. It has never been tested but it might become unstable in certain scenarios.


Stuff is broken, lots of errors everywhere... can you guys fix it?
While some of the code could be a little outdated by now after a few Garry's Mod updates it should still work. It is recommended that you also try playing on the GitHub version of the gamemode which might be more up to date.

If you encounter any issues be sure to try to play the gamemode on default/vanilla Garry's Mod without workshop and legacy addons just to be sure that it is not something else causing problems.


I want to play VR, is there a way?
None of us developers have access to a VR headset therefor we never really looked into it. Luckily the community took care of that and edited our gamemode to be more VR friendly.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2014743815

The VR gamemode is not being actively supported anymore so problems might occur. We also do not have anything to do with that project



This list is being worked on...
