    For those that didn't know, the FaceWAN Gmod9 servers have been shut down after months of no use. It's been a long time coming, but it seems to be a very stale game now and everyone has moved on to the current version of Garry's Mod. This forum will remain open for people who still want to download Garry's Mod 9 and related mods. There are some good times in this forum, back from when FaceWAN was starting up.

    Well I'm back from some other place. Noticing FaceWAN GMOD9 servers are down now.

    But I can answer some of your questions.

    1. The SteamPipe update broke mounting which will require manual fix.

    2. The server version problem is caused by the server and client thinking they are different versions. You can avoid this with the connect command in Console.

    To fix the mounting, you will need to extract contents from the game. It will require a good amount of GB to fix though. Full detail can be found on this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216513041

    I struggled with an issue I can't change my ingame gmod9 name it says "Mingebag" when I go to options/multiplayer there should be a tab where you can type your ingame name in but now I can't change it anymore + playermodel choose tab is not there? Before the Steam Pipe update I could change my ingame name I've tried to reinstall gmod9 neither steam does not seem to fix this error How do I fix this? P.S please put the RP server back on my friend wants to play it and where trying to revive gmod9 from the dead there are a huge amount of dudes on my school who still wants to play gmod9 but our hamachi server can't take more then 10 players so please I really want the servers back on beacues SRCDS does not support Garry's mod 9.0.4, for at least I know :-[

    You can probably change your name by using console commands or by snooping around in the cfg files in your GM9 directory.

    As for the RP server thing, sorry, but I doubt it's gonna go up again. Pretty much everyone in this community got tired of GM9 and some people just got tired of GMod in general. Besides, the old good RP experience that most of us veterans in FaceWAN remember won't ever come back anyways. Overall, it's probably best to either find out how to host your own server for GMod9 or try to get into the newest version of GMod, sorry.

    I'm not exactly sure how easy it would be to get FaceWAN's RP working on another server. If I remember correctly, it had a lot of stuff you needed to do with MySQL. You might be able to find UCRPM though which might satisfy your needs.

    Espeon i just have to say to you that people are now more starting to play on gmod9 servers and it would be fantastic if the rp server would come up
    then we would have a seperate gamemode for gmod9 i beg you
