New LUA location for installing cheats.

Some users have reported being unable to load clientside lua files from their \steam\steamapps\username\garrysmod\garrysmod\lua folder. This is because of the recent 165 update that moved garrysmod over to steampipe. If this has happened to you and you have been getting errors like:

Quote:

lua_openscript_cl yourfile.lua
Running script yourfile.lua...
Couldn't include file 'yourfile.lua' (File not found) (<nowhere>)

You likely have to use the new location \steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\lua when loading clientside lua files AFTER running your favorite bypasser.

If you have steam and the games installed to your C: drive, this would be:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\l ua
(there is NO space in lua, for some reason whenever I write the folder it does that)

(thanks TerryJ for responding to my questions to get this sorted out for everyone. My garrysmod has not moved to this folder yet)

Then this likely doesn't effect you. I'm on 165 as well and don't have this folder, but some seem to and have to now place the Lua files there.

You have to reload the cheat every map change and every time you connect to a server.

No. Used to be:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\USERNAME\garrysmod\garrysmod \lua

You would be surprised (or not) how many people missed this small change as it has only happened for some users.

And if I overlap what you gave me now with this it'd be.

c:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\lua
It's the same location, I had just left out the c:\Program Files (x86) as it's not reliable due to some certain people installing steam on a different drive.
Such as myself, mine is on D.

I thing you're missing the "common" part in the string. It no longer resides under your Username where most of the guides tell you to place the .lua

If you were getting the error mentioned in the first post, you wouldn't be getting a too many lua errors message as the lua wouldn't have loaded an you would have only got one error. This is a separate issue. If you want help, post the actual error messages.

Hell, if I started posting before my morning coffee I'm sure I might make some of the same mistakes. It's called morning grogginess.

I haven't had to change anything. Earlier last month my C:SS did a game content conversion and since mounting is broke I just copied over all materials and etc, but my Garry's Mod hasn't even done a Game Conversion so I can just run them normally, However GMod WILL NOT use the css models and forces the low res replacements.. gg garry

Same here. According to some posts on facepunch you can reinstall gmod and that will complete the conversion. Worst thing I find is the god damn sound problems with some weapons. When fired they make horrible screeching noises. That alone might drive me to reinstall.
