GTerm

Garry's Mod external console software.

Client Installation

• Download the latest release.
• Launch the gterm executable whenever Garry's Mod is running.
• Restart Garry's Mod to complete the installation.
• Enjoy!

Server Installation (steamcmd)

• Download the latest release of xconsole.
• Move the .dll (even on macos/linux!) under srcds/garrysmod/lua/bin (if the bin folder doesnt exist, create it).
• In srcds/garrysmod/lua/includes/init.lua add at the top of the file require("xconsole").
• Restart the server.
• Launch the gterm executable.
• Enjoy!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you run your server inside a docker container or any other sandbox you will need to install gterm within that sandbox or give the container the rights to write to /tmp on UNIX systems.

In case GTerm does NOT detect your Garry's Mod CLIENT installation

• Download the latest release of xconsole.
• Move the .dll (even on macos/linux!) under GarrysMod/garrysmod/lua/bin (if the bin folder doesnt exist, create it).
• In GarrysMod/garrysmod/lua/menu/menu.lua add at the bottom of the file require("xconsole").
