Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We would like to write a quick message to everyone that is in this blog just to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope everyone has had a great year and enjoys the last week of the year this year we had all had ups and downs but have gone through and had overcame these issues.

The team at Evil Fish has had phenomenal year with our views rising and even gained a few subs but on a larger scale we had officially launched adsense on our channel and now on the blog. We also launched a new channel ran and operated by our good friend who has proven to be a great member of the evilfish team. If you haven't yet checked out that channel you can watch it at youtube under the name of EvilClownFish.

We may not be a good channel nor create the best content for the viewers but we love our small viewing community that has subbed us and we truly hope we can reach 150 subs by new years.

Merry christmas and a happy new year.

Evil Fish Team.  

How to make a Garry's Mod server?

How to make a Garry's Mod server?

Steps:

1. Download SteamCMD (Download below)
2. Extract SteamCMD into a separate folder on you C:\ Drive
3. Run SteamCMD and let it update and check files
4. Type "login anonymous"
5. Create another folder on C: Drive and call it Gmod
6. Once able to type again enter "force_install_dir "C:\Gmod" "
7. To install Gmod server type "app_update 4020" and let download (may take a while)
8. Validate the server by typing "app_update 4020 validate" (may take a while)
9. Navigate to the Gmod folder and close down steam cmd.
10. Inside the Gmod folder go to "garrysmod/cfg" and open server.cfg and enter the code and edit it to your preference.
1. "hostname "My Garry's Mod Sandbox Server"
   "rcon_password "serveradmin"
   "sv_password "cupcake"
   "sbox_noclip "1" //Enables noclip
   "sbox_maxprops "500"
   "sbox_maxeffects "15"
   "sbox_maxemitters "13"
   "sbox_maxthrusters "30"
   "sbox_maxsents "35"
   //etc.
   "sbox_playershurtplayers "1" //Enables PVP Damage
11. Navigate back to Gmod folder and create a new text document and name it Start
12. Open the text document and enter the code below

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map de_dust +maxplayers 16
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

13, Edit the code to run how you want such as players, map and game

14. Save the file as Start.bat

15. Run the file and your server should be operational.

Now all you have to do is change all your settings to your preference, add addons (tutorial soon) and port foward so others can connect.
