Garry's Mod Server Setup: DarkRP, TTT and More

Garry's Mod (GMod) is a sandbox classic with endless gamemodes. With your own server, you can run DarkRP, TTT, Sandbox, or a completely custom gamemode.

System Requirements

  • RAM: 2-4 GB for Sandbox/TTT. 4-8 GB for DarkRP with many addons.
  • CPU: 2 cores. GMod primarily uses one core.
  • Storage: 5-15 GB depending on addons.

Installation

At HostValues, you install GMod with one click. The server uses SteamCMD (app ID 4020). Default port: 27015 (UDP).

Gamemodes

  • Sandbox: The default GMod experience. Build freely with props and tools.
  • DarkRP: The most popular RP gamemode. Requires DarkRP and associated addons.
  • Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT): Social deduction game.
  • PropHunt: Hide as a prop and let hunters find you.

Workshop Addons

Add addons via Steam Workshop Collections. Create a collection on Steam Workshop, add your desired addons, and enter the collection ID in the server startup parameters with +host_workshop_collection.

DarkRP Setup

For DarkRP: install the DarkRP gamemode and DarkRP Modification. Customize jobs, weapons, and rules in the darkrp_customthings folder.
