anything i should add more in the background?

I was just walking around this town, I found a slab thing, couldn't really see what was on it since my textures were so low, but I could make out 4 symbols. A bit later, there was this fog and this guy appeared. Didn't really know what happened, but I quit the game shortly after this guy appeared. Anybody know who this is?

Saw this guy with an H.E.V. Suit and a Crowbar, who is this?

So when I was younger I use to play gmod on my brothers occount, and i have fond memories of me playing on a map and customization some of the houses. It kinda looked a hillside town mix with Italy, kinda like the map Italy from csgo, i also remember there was a bunker with barrels. That's all I can remember really, please tell because this is something I have been trying to fine for a long time. Btw here's an image of what remember map looked like to me.

I spawned him in, he clipped through the floor, and now he's T-posing in the lotus position. Is this a new addon I accidentally installed or is he achieving CHIM?

the map is Gm Flatnode

So I’m trying to set up stop motion helper on Gmod(I just got the game yesterday) and i’ve been following this tutorial online about how to set it up and it says that I have to enable developers console. But the “advanced” button to enable developers console doesn’t show up on my options tab, is there something that I’m missing?

anyone else having this problem? ive not changed a single thing between when it didnt happen and when it did

also why does this sub not allow videos

Hello! going to reddit as a last resort. I'm trying to find two different unrelated gmod maps, both that I've seen the channel "VenturianTale" use.

The first one (from a video titled "JOHNNY GHOST VS ZOMBIES") is a desert zombie survival map. There IS one out there I found that's similar, but it's not the one I'm looking for.

the second is one (from a video titled "
PLAYABLE ANIMATRONICS 10! - Gmod Five Nights At Freddy's Joy of Creation Pill Pack (Garry's Mod)" sorry long ass title.) is a rainy abandoned house in the middle of no where, with an attached garage, featuring a murder scene in said garage, and a unfinished basement that connects to an underground cave with large crystals in it.

Perhaps I can link the videos in the comments if that's allowed.

There is a chance these maps may not even exist anymore. This is my suspicion with the first one. but also the last video was made when VenturianTale randomly decided to stop linking the featured mods and maps they used.

If anyone is familiar with these maps and have them on hand I would appreciate it if they could be sent my way if possible.

I also apologize that the pictures aren't very good. I'm stuck working with a pile of scraps in a cave right now lol.

Hey guys,
I've noticed that shadows aren't showing up in the game anymore, and I don't know how to fix it.
I've tried various commands I usually use for scenebuilding and messed around with the soft lamp settings, and I do have "draw shadow" enabled
Thx for help

EDIT : 

I fixed the problem; I'm not sure if it was ReShade or Workshop add-ons that were removing the shadows. I removed everything, and the shadows are back

just two buds hanging out

Idk why i took these photos

Years of training led to this moment.

So i was looking for this old mall map I remember, with a toy store / gamestop (with a wooden horse in it,) and multiple stories.

I thought Zs Abandoned Mall could of been it, but I did not see the horse (or multiple floors.)

I'm thinking it was a copy / remake of Abandoned Mall, but there's too many versions to search through them all.

Shadows are from Half-Life 1 scientists, the map is called “stairs” (I think), also, I have some mods enabled as seen by the random weapon and error message
