I just want to make this post just to notify whoever runs the roleplay server that there are a few issues I am having and cannot seems to fix. The map has pink and black textures. There are quite a few errors around the map. Some of the props have pink and black textures. The MOTD when arriving into the server is all pink and black. The server seems to have some constant stuttery rubber banding All this said, I did install all the mods (I think correctly), the first portion of the mods in the mod list post you provided I installed into the "mods" folder, and the rest of the "Other Mods" are installed into the gmod9 folder. If my installation is incorrect please let me know, as posting a possible solution here might help others too Thanks, Sam.
You did everything right, the pink and black textures comes from missing the HL2:DM content (the menu uses this.) I have a fix for all the missing content I will be releasing really soon here. The stuttering I have resolved by restarting the server every 6 hours (it's an old source server bug where the server goes into hibernation after no players have been on in a while.)
If you would like to help me test the fixes, I have a beta pack ready (in RAR format) that you just extract and copy over your gmod9 directory. https://faceservers.com/game-filez/gmod9_fixed.rar
To add: The RP server maps are also a little broken, we have to repackage the missing assets (railings and some textures) into the map itself The RP and Build servers are always up, I'm not sure what you mean exactly? You should stop by the Discord Server if you want the latest news about GMod9
