The srcds.exe wont even do a thing!

The steam HLDS runs fine but i cant choose Garrys mod as a game there!
Anyway to fix that?

You need the garrysmod folder in the orangebox folder, not in the main srcds directory.

It wouldn't start because the mod wasn't in the right place, which would make the srcds close immediately since the mod didn't exist.

I was just getting ready to post the same question after spending 2 hours trying to get this to work. Who woulda thought the hldsupdatetool for garrysmod would place the folders in the wrong directory structure! (Actually, why am I surprised? LOL!)

Drocona, once again you're the man! Thanks for all you and the guys do here. Thank God there are good people like you who donate their time for all of us.
