Totally agree, great moderator, great knobhead!

He is a very good mod. I like that he is extremely active and always responds to my reports on time.

Yeah, I've also had loads of problems with OBS and Microsoft Game bar
When Berty introduced me to this a month back I've been using it ever since and never had any problems with it.

Well, unlike what Skyfie said, I think he's more of a dad house.
However, I completely agree, he is a server gremlin but he's our server gremlin
 

Thank you BobZy for being such a dear friend, there is no other person like you. Therefore i wanted to recommend you here
An amazing and a hilarious guy, brings some happiness into a bad day.

Welcome to my FPS Boost guide. Altrough CloudGaming's servers are very good at not slowing down your laptop/pc/toaster, people with bad computers still have this issue (I do too myself). In this guide I will be showing you how to boost your FPS on Garry's Mod!

1. Ingame Settings
1.1 Start Up Garry's Mod
1.2 Go to Options and click Video
1.3 Change your resolution to lowest possible
- It causes little to no fps boost (prehaps for 5-10 fps) but it still is reccomended to do if your pc is really that bad.
-Makes everything hard to spot.
 
1.4 Change Settings
- Model Detail, Texture Detail, Shader Detail, Shadow Detail must be set all to low to insanely increase your FPS,
- Water Detail must be set to Simple Reflections,
- Color Correction must be disabled,
- Anitalising Mode set to None,
- Filtering Mode set to Blinear,
- Wait For Vertical Sync (Vsync) is reccomended to be disabled but if your screen starts tearing, you may enable it. || Example of screen tearing by @Toast : ||
 

2. Launch Options
2.1 Go to your Steam Libary, Find Garry's Mod, right click and go to properties

2.2 Go to General, Click set launch options, and type whats on the image shown above (You can also copy paste it down below)
-windowed causes your game to run in windowed mode,
-noborder causes your game to run in windowed borderless mode,
-dxlevel should be set to 90, it can also be set to 81 but that causes for you not to see the prop material in game and dxlevel 81 is probally against the rules,
-w (set your screen width)
-h (set your screen height)
-novid (does nothing in garry's mod, idk why its put in in the image shown above but for some reason it does increase fps)
-nojoy (not listed above) disables joystick commands

3. Config
This step is usually not hard to do but it may be confusing for new players.
3.1 Go to your autoexec located at C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg and find the autoexec file and open it with Notepad or Notepad++
3.2 Copy the commands you want and into your cfg file.

It took me alot of time to write this guide for you, and hopefully it will work for you!
Commands suggested by others:
mat_showlowresimage 1 ( @Obi Juan Kenobi )
-threads 4 (this command is based on your CPU threads.) (Put it in the launch options.) ( @squidward)
-high (Makes your game run on High priority) (unintentionally reccomended by @mumppe)

Ammo commands:
RPG - /buyammo RPG_Round Pistol - /buyammo pistol SMG - /buyammo smg1 Shotgun - /buyammo buckshot Sniper - /buyammo SniperPenetratedRound Rife - /buyammo ar2 To bind in console type: bind KEY "say /buyammo AMMO". For example: bind o "say /buyammo smg1"

These two people are those who really made me feel like I had a place on the server and were incredibly kind in my many sits. I've only been on the server for two days, two sessions. But them in particular made me want to come back.

@Joshie came to help in my lowest moment on my first ever day.
@rarr was always there to help on my second day.

Let me sit watch for a short while, gave me tips on applications etc
All together a genuine nice guy

Really good mentor, gave me a kicking start to being a Mod on CG!

Hello there!
In this guide I am going to give an overall look about KOS warning binds , how can you make them and when should they be used.
 
So I am going to begin by showing each rules these warns are under:
 
"2.12 KOS When KOSing someone you must give them atleast 5 seconds to respond (unless its a base with a KOS sign). This only applies when you are initiating the attack."
Civil Protection: "You must give 10 seconds of warning before arresting/killing someone unless they pull out a weapon/are shooting people/are wanted etc."
 
Tip: You can use voice but I recommend using chat as there are logs for this.
        Use /y to be sure the message reachs that person.
 
When should KOS warnings be used:
You should use KOS warns when you want someone to stop with a certain action like folowing you, aiming weapon at you, anoying you,etc.
 
Now that we have understand the rules lets see how you can bind keys too make warning:
To bind a text message to a keyboard key we need to use console-
You can enable console by going in the game options, then press "advanced" and "activate the programmer console" , you also go to the last option in the keyboard keys and set "activate the programmer console" to any keyboard key.
So now that the console is open , to make a text bind you need to use this template. 
Bind <key> "say Text"
Ex: bind rightarrow "say /y Stop following me or KOS [5 seconds]"
Now when pressing the rightarrow the respective text will show.
 
Where is the list of commands for numpad keys:
Bind Kp_end for 1
Bind kp_downarrow for 2
Bind kp_pgdn for 3
Bind kp_leftarrow for 4
bind kp_5 for 5
Bind kp_rightarrow for 6
bind kp_home for 7
BInd kp_uparrow for 8
Bind kp_pgup for 9
Bind kp_ins for 0
Bind kp_del for .
Bind kp_enter for enter
Bind kp_plus for +
Bind kp_minus for -
Bind kp_multipl for star
Bind kp_slash for /
Bind kp_numlock for numlock
 
To bind arrows:
Bind leftarrow / rightarrow / uparrow and downarrow
 
Will put some examples here. Please give more ideas on comments!
"Stop! You've Violated the law! You are now AOS > Running Away/Weapon out = KOS!"
"Hide your weapon / raiding tool / stop breaking law=AOS>KOS [warning]10 sec"
"Stop aiming/following/Blocking/Anoying me or KOS [5 seconds]"
 
Hope this tutorial helped you!
Thank you for reading.
 
P.S. Sorry if there was already a guide on this. :"
