    AFKing - A Better Way

    I don't have " at all, if you do I'm pretty sure it's only around the path, as Medo showed. Should work both ways.

    AFKing - A Better Way

    yeah that's the point of it, you get tokens and potentially job credits (with job credit raffles)
  3. Preface: This guide may look long, but fear not, it is mainly images and detailed descriptions of steps for less advanced users AFKing on the server offers multiple benefits: helping our beloved community, earning us tokens, and allowing us to join Job Credit Raffles. With this guide you'll be able to reduce GMod to a simple text box, which will allow you to leave it running on your machine without impact on performance or without your fans keeping you up at night. (yes this is really what it looks like) Before starting this guide you may want to consider how you would like to apply this. You can run this on your main machine, it shouldn't impact your FPS in other games or make the fans act up at night, or you can run it on some crappy laptop you have laying around. Extra instructions for laptop users (whether as a main machine like me or as a dedicated AFKing machine) are at the end. Step 1 - Locating hl2.exe If you already know how to find Garry's Mod files on your PC skip this step. Go to your steam library, right click on Garry's Mod, and click Properties. Under "Local Files" you will see "Browse...", clicking that should open a File Explorer window in the GMod folder. You should be able to see a file called hl2.exe in this folder. This is the actual Garry's Mod app, you can launch GMod by double clicking on that file. Step 2 - Creating & Testing a Shortcut Windows not-11 Right-clicking on hl2.exe should prompt you to "Create shortcut" Windows 11 Right-clicking on hl2.exe then on "More Options" should open a menu where you can find "Create shortcut" To check if you've done everything right so far, you can try running(double-clicking) the shortcut, which should look like this: GMod should open up like usual, this means everything is going well so far. Step 3 - Editing the Shortcut If you right click on the shortcut, then click properties, a small window should pop up with multiple different tabs. Clicking on "Shortcut" you should be able to see the "Target" box with the path to your gmod file. We are now going to add modifiers after this path. Copy and past the following modifiers after the path you see: -64bit -textmode -single_core -nojoy -low -nosound -nod3d9ex -sw -noshader -noshaderapi -nopix -novid -nopreload -nopreloadmodels +connect s1.cloud-gaming.co.uk It should look something like this: Notice the space between .exe and -64bit, make sure it's there. These modifiers make it so the game will load in text-mode and using as few PC resources as possible, and will make this client load into CG automatically leaving your PC free to do other things. Step 4 - AFK Click on the shortcut you made, a lot of text will scroll past as GMod loads your addons and connects to CG, but soon enough you should only be seeing a few console messages every now and then. You are successfully connected to Cloud Gaming and AFKing on the server. It may use around 1gb of RAM but other than that should have minimal impact on CPU, and should not be using your GPU. If your wifi fails or you get disconnected or any other problems arise just close the app in the top right with X and open the shortcut again. Extra Step - Desktop Shortcut Instead of going to your GMod folder every time, you can move it to your desktop and have it as a button there: And/Or have it as a button on your taskbar: To have it on your desktop, simple right click on the shortcut you made, and click the scissors (Windows-11) or Cut (Windows-not11), then go to your desktop, right click your background and click on the clipboard (Windows-11) or paste (Windows-not11). To rename it, right-click the shortcut and click on the box with a text cursor (Windows-11) or rename (Windows-not11), you can then name it "GMod AFK" or whatever else you like. To have it on your taskbar, right click the shortcut, (in your gmod folder or on your desktop) and click on More Options then Pin to Taskbar (Windows-11) or Pin to Taskbar (Windows-not11) Extra Step - For Laptop Users While Desktop users can just unplug/turn off their monitors, we need to find a way to close our laptops without disconnecting us from the server. Open "Control Panel" (can be found by using the windows search bar), and search "power". You should see the following: Click on "Change what closing the lid does" and change it to the following: This allows you to close your laptop without disconnecting you from AFKing. Before leaving the laptop for long periods of time close whichever apps you don't need running (eg discord or chrome) and just shut the lid of the laptop. This will turn off the screen but leave you connected to CG. When you reopen the lid you should be right back where you left off. If you have any questions, concerns, or issues, leave them in the comments below so I or someone else can answer.

    IGM reset?

    It's not like it's an intended feature. It's just because of how numbers are stored.

  9. My suggestion for success. This is an application about you. Everyone having the same points and eventually the same application leads nowhere. Make sure you are known by the players and staff, active, not have any recent punishments. If the staff know you and how valuable you would be you don't need a perfect application, similarly, if you are mediocre, a perfect application won't save you. My final tip is to not ask for attention, no asking staff to reply, no asking for support, nothing.
  10. did you forget that when you sell weed in larger batches it sells for more? ?

    Error on lots of guns

    the guns don't have anything to do with CS:S. If you're having issues with the m9k guns subscribe the the m9k gun addons. However, restarting the game fixes it 99% of the time
  12. Not currently. Most weapons have stats on /jobs, others (like staff exclusive or others) are completely unknown, and they are subject to change.

  14. Welcome to my templates. These exist in order to make your store look nice, effortlessly. They are all my own work, free for everyone's use. But why? The advantage of using my templates is that they guarantee a quality looking store that you can edit yourself (text for description and prices) Want a template added? Send me a PM. While the goal is to eventually have all of the CJs people need, if demand is shown I can do one sooner. Own a CJ? If you want a template edited (change in design, description, etc.) send me a pm. I am glad to customize the templates to the owners' desires. (this can be anything from thickness of border, to background color, to any other design changes) To start: First find the template you want to use then go to How to Use and follow the instructions.
