Game hosting

Garry's Mod server

Create and configure a Garry's Mod server on RHQ Game Hosting.

Your Garry's Mod server runs on our game panel (Pterodactyl). The first start downloads the game files through SteamCMD.

  1. Start the server

    Open your server in the game panel and press Start. Wait until the console shows that the server is running.

  2. Choose gamemode and map

    In the Startup tab set the gamemode (for example sandbox, darkrp or terrortown) and the start map.

  3. Configure it

    In the Files tab edit garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg: hostname, sv_password and rcon_password.

  4. Join

    In Garry's Mod open the console and type:

    connect YOUR_SERVER_IP:27015

Ports

Your server's assigned ports are shown in the panel and may differ from these defaults.

Addons and Workshop content

  • Upload addons to garrysmod/addons from the Files tab.
  • For Workshop content create a collection on Steam and enter its ID in the Startup tab. This needs a Steam Web API key from steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey.
