Garry's Mod News

Skibidi. Dop, dop, dop. Yes, yes. Skibidi. Double u. Neem, neem. This is the clarion call of the modern age, the infernal message brought unto our virgin ears by the Skibidi Toilets. No, wait, keep reading! It'll be worth it. Probably. After all, the word skibidi has now been added to the Cambridge Dictionary, and this is a reality we've all got to reckon with.

Skibidi Toilet, in case you've been living somewhere free from the influence of vertically-framed surrealism, is a long-running series of 3D animations by YouTuber Alexey 'DaFuq!?Boom!' Gerasimov. It generally conveys the tale of a great war between a legion of heads protruding from loos and an army of folks with cameras for heads, with help from Half-Life 2 assets and inspiration from the annals of Garry's Mod machinima. Any 12 year olds you know probably can't get enough of it. Or think it's lame because they've already moved on to the next thing.

So long, pink checkerboards that represent missing textures! Adiós, pitch-black skies that signify an absent skybox! Don't let the door hit you on the way out, enormous 3D model that says ERROR where a car should be!..

[p]Artwork Showcase - "The Construction"[/p][p][/p][p]The July 2025 Update is now live.[/p][p]The biggest user-facing change in this update brings most of Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 Episodic content to Garry's Mod by default, with gracious permission from Valve. This means that you no longer need to own those games and have them installed to play on community maps that expect you to have this content.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Please do note that maps from those games are not included, so you'll still need to install those games to use their maps, and neither are voice over files and music, due to licensing issues.[/p][p]This won't eliminate all instances of missing content (missing textures and ERROR models), but it will address a majority of instances of this issue. The remainder would just be addon authoring or installation errors.[/p][p]This also means that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 content is now available in the spawnmenu for every player by default.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As usual, there is a large number of smaller changes - crash fixes, optimizations, additions, as well as other miscellaneous improvements for modders as well as players.[/p][p][/p][p]You can find the full change list for this update in our blog post: [/p][p]https://gmod.facepunch.com/news/july-2025-update[/p]

The "dev" and "x86-64" betas also contain all the upcoming changes.[/p][p][/p][p]You can report any found issues preferably on our official bug tracking repository on GitHub: (be sure to search before posting)[/p][p]https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues[/p][p]Or at the very least in the comments below, or on our official Discord server or: https://discord.com/invite/gmod[/p][p][/p][p]If you wish to set up a dedicated server instance using any of the beta branches, please see this article: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server[/p][p][/p][p]How to switch game branches:[/p]
