VJ Base Collection

A collection of official VJ Base mods for Garry's Mod, maintained together in a single repository.

Each mod remains in its own folder under addons/ so it can still be loaded by Garry's Mod as an individual addon while being developed and maintained from one repository.

Development Setup

It is recommended that you do not clone this repository directly into Garry's Mod's addons folder. Instead, each mod folder can be linked into garrysmod/addons/ using directory junctions. This allows the repository to remain anywhere on your computer while Garry's Mod sees each folder as a normal addon.

Important

Adding, editing, or deleting files inside a junction affects the actual files in this repository. To remove a junction, remove the junction itself rather than deleting its contents.

Creating Junctions

To automatically create a junction inside Garry's Mod's addons folder for every mod in this repository, open Command Prompt and run:

for /D %D in ("F:\examplePath\VJ-Base-Collection\addons\*") do mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\%~nxD" "%~fD"

To create a junction for an individual mod:

mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\Mod Name" "F:\examplePath\VJ-Base-Collection\addons\Mod Name"

Verifying Junctions

To list the junctions inside Garry's Mod's addons folder:

dir /AL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons"

They will appear as <JUNCTION> entries.

Removing Junctions

Removing a junction does not remove the actual files; it only removes the link.

rmdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\Mod Name"
