Custom Backgrounds For Garry's Mod 13 - Tutorial

[@Volt_Jolt]

Will it still work if you put the picture in the backgrounds folder that isn't in game modes?

[@26magicman26]

+Volt Jolt In the garrysmod/garrysmod/backgrounds folder? I thought that's just were the default ones were kept, Ive never tried putting new ones there or removing the default ones in that folder.. but putting them in gamemodes/sandbox/backgrounds folder like in the video works for sure

[@Volt_Jolt]

i tried the sandbox folder and it works. i dont think i need the other background folder. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@26magicman26]

good, no problem :)

[@TheLivingBluejay]

Are we able to upload them to the workshop. Or can you please do a tutorial of that???

[@robboss969]

[@steorra15]

My "Backgrounds" folder doesn't appears

[@TheLivingBluejay]

Around 1:42, I couldn't find a backgrounds folder on mine.

[@E4or16]

I downloaded some pics of Fortnite and Roblox and FNAF and put them into the background files but it's pixel and blurry i need help with this

[@buttkicker7172]

this was made in 2014 so i wouldnt be surprised if it no longer works

[@KidzX_Offical]

So late but you will need 1920 x 1080 JPEG

[@kangobuild]

It doesn't work.I resized my image to my exact screen resolution and put in the backgrounds folder under the sandbox thing and it still doesn't work

[@stahpexe2475]

Kangobuild put it into the backrounds folder that is found as soon as you open the garrysmod folder

[@FireKnightzZLP]

can i set any background music?

[@JahMeanXBeezy]

I renamed it a PNG image and saved it to the background folder, but it's really blurry, res was 1920 by 1080

[@E4or16]

Same

[@woowsers]

I cant see the backgrounds folder :7? do i create one?

[@26magicman26]

yes, if you dont have those folders, then just create them :)

[@woowsers]

Thanks :D

[@TheLivingBluejay]

Oh snap never mine, I found it!!! :D

[@batsbalo1645]

Doesnt work for me, it zooms in too much on my image ;_;

[@26magicman26]

make sure the image is the same size as your screen resolution. i use windows 7, to check right-click on the desktop and click screen resolution. mine is 1366x768 . .. or do you mean the automatic slow moving zoom at the garrysmod menu ? (i changed mine to not zoom in and change backgrounds every 10 seconds)

[@batsbalo1645]

I fixed it My resolution is 1440x900 but I did 1400x900 by accident -_-

[@batsbalo1645]

Thanks anyway

[@Chewitdude64]

26magicman26 How did you change it to not zoom?

[@diegoochoa2294]

macbook plz

[@liyfed]

how do i make it stop zooming?

[@26magicman26]

youd have to mess with the lua code.. but its not hard, just changing a few numbers.. i made mine stop zooming and change backgrounds every 10 seconds... go into ur main Garrysmod folder, then Lua folder, Then Menu folder. There, look for a file called "background" ... well... ill put mine below, just copy it lol.. to change the time the background takes to change is called the DieTime (its near the very bottom, and it goes by seconds).. Remember to save it as a .lua file !! Hope this helps :) Everything below this point is the code: local MenuGradient = Material( "../html/img/gradient.png", "nocull smooth" ) local Images = {} local Active = nil local Outgoing = nil local function Think( tbl ) tbl.Angle = tbl.Angle + ( tbl.AngleVel * FrameTime() ) tbl.Size = tbl.Size + ( ( tbl.SizeVel / tbl.Size) * FrameTime() ) if ( tbl.AlphaVel ) then tbl.Alpha = tbl.Alpha - tbl.AlphaVel * FrameTime() end if ( tbl.DieTime > 0 ) then tbl.DieTime = tbl.DieTime - FrameTime() if ( tbl.DieTime
