I'm not sure if there is a topic about this, but there is a program called Garry's Mod. I have seen some of you that have games that have the "Source Engine." (Team Fortress, Counter Strike, Half Life 2)

Garry's Mod is a game manipulator. I am pretty sure all of you will have lots of fun with it.

Here's a YouTube video of these people manipulating the game with Garry's Mod, making sketches that may remind you of Robot Chicken.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh8VfFH78jY

So those of you that have any of those games I mentioned, it will probably work with this program.


Again, if you guys already know about this, sorry for wasting space.

Garry's Mod isn't "who knows of this game?", it's "who the goddamn hell DOESN'T know about this game?!".

I didn't know about it.

Thanks for posting about this Jon.

Tsk, I wouldn't call it a game manipulator. It's more of a software toy with the Source engine. It doesn't really screw with any game directly, though it you can screw with it's contents.

It's ironically no longer a mod, but a commercial game and is only called Garry's mod for historical reasons. It's fun since it allows you to screw with the physics engine (and with the content of any Source-based game you might own. You will have always access to HL2 contents however).

The game costs ten dollars, and is well worth the money. There's still Garry's mod 9 to download at places, but it's both buggy and outdated (and requires Counter-strike source! The commercial version isn't as picky.). Besides the commercial version is way better anyway.

You have to kinda keep in mind that Garry's mod itself resembles HL2 the most. So anything HL2 related works perfectly, anything else is a bit so so. You can play with the portal levels for example, but it's pointless and some scripted events is broken. Team Fortress 2 levels works fine, but the levels will be stuck in a eternal setup mode (not a problem though, since you can just remove the props blocking the spawn).

One thing that's neat is that the Garry's mod supports LuA, so you can program mods for Garry's mod. Unfortunately, I hadn't tried out this myself and from what I heard the documentation is so-so.

It supports Lua scripting. I tried Garry's mod a few times but I had a lot of problems with things showing up as big red "ERROR" things.

Then you obviously need the phx model pack and the tiled v2 pack.

Ah, yeah it's Lua, not Python.

Changed my post to reflect that. :V
