Garry's Mod Nexus

[IronMannequinMrkXXI]

Would it be possible? Apparently Minecraft was possible, because when I created a file to initiate my request for the new site, it got accepted and is now a new site. So, would we be able to make a Garry's Mod Nexus, because of the seemingly complex way that their "Dupes" or Duplicate Creations are hosted on the Steam Workshop solely?

Add the game, add a file (that you have permission to add, obviously), and I'll confirm it. That's how it works now!

I was wondering how we would get the Dupes into the game after downloading them, especially if the Site would ever get a spot on the Mod Manager.

 

Edit: Besides, I have no files to add, and I wouldn't want to send in another Game Request right now because you seem to have enough on your plate without configuring a whole new site.

Ah, if manual downloads won't work then that's more complex, and far less likely to happen. I don't use Gary's Mod so know nothing about modding it.

By the way, 90% of the mods for Garry's Mod are stolen from other people/developers. So you're going to get busy.

Yes. Sadly a lot of content in Garry's mod is directly pirated from other games. I remember being shown a car mod a while back and being horrified to discover the entire thing was pirated from a console game, the modder had simply attached their name to it and started bragging about how they'd programmed the entire thing. Personally I think this is a game The Nexus should probably stay away from-it's got one of the most unpleasant, immature and childish communities I've ever seen(constant griefing and lame troll attempts) and a culture of content piracy.

One of the recognized and stated consequences of Dark0ne's decision to allow "mods for all games", is that those player/modder-created communities will have to police themselves. As long as bad behaviour isn't rewarded, all is well.

 

Otherwise, there's always the "Report" button... and the Banhammer. :whistling:

I agree with that, the nexus should be at least very observant of such a nexus of Garry's Mod. I have had to deal with these... immature - to say it nicely - people on a regular basis a while ago and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. I'd rather see them far from the nexus, we have enough trouble with the immature here.

Yeah, maybe make a Blacklist for the Modder/Player-created communities to block certain phrases, so Garry's Mod is auto-not-allowed. We don't need that kind of community, I've seen too many forums and sites get corrupted by a new generation or a migration of a bad community to one site to another.
