Enhance Garry's Mod with essential addon tools, from performance boosters like gmod_mcore_test to player movement addons and character models.

Essential addon tools in Garry's Mod significantly enhance gameplay and creative possibilities, ranging from performance optimizations to new player abilities and character models. These tools are often found on the Steam Workshop and can drastically change how players interact with the game world and other players.

Key addon tools and their functions:

  • Performance Boosters: Players can improve their framerate without mods by selecting the "x86-64 - Chromium + 64-bit binaries" beta in game properties and modifying the autoexec.cfg file. This involves pasting specific code into the file, including commands like gmod_mcore_test 1 and mat_queue_mode 2.
  • Player Movement Addons:
    • An addon exists to prevent players from getting stuck in other players.
    • Another addon adds wallrunning and thrust jumps, similar to Black Ops 3. Sliding is also included by holding Crouch, Sprint, and Forward. Wallrunning is performed by holding Forward near a wall.
  • Character and Model Addons:
    • A Cinder Fall (from RWBY) playermodel and NPC addon includes a playermodel, friendly NPC, ragdoll, face posing, viewmodel hands, jigglebones, and an alternate texture group for her semblance.
    • A "Mil-Sim" faction playermodel and NPC addon is available.
    • A pack includes 32 player models, friendly and hostile NPCs, and ragdolls from Borderlands 1-2.
    • A fix for t-pose player models is available by unsubscribing from a specific NPC mod.
