This article will lead you through the installation process of GExtension.

Web

First, you have to install GMOD Web.

  1. Download the installation files from ScriptFodder
  2. Edit config.php
    1. Protocol: 'http' or 'https'. Only use 'https' if you have a valid SSL certificate.
    2. SteamAPI: Key: Get your API Key from Steam
    3. Timezone: Select the correct timezone from this site
    4. MySQL: Insert IP, port, user, password and database
    5. SMTP (optional): Insert mailserver, port, username, password, alias, security and method. You can use outlook.com if you do not have your own mailserver.
  3. Upload the files to your webserver
  4. Set directory permissions (Linux)
  5. Open the directory on your webserver using a browser
  6. Press "Retrieve" to get your license key
  7. Press "Start"

Linux Only

  • Set Permissions:
cd path/to/gextension
sudo chown www-data:www-data *
sudo chmod -r 777

Troubleshooting

"Could not update" + permission error

  • Permissions are not set up correctly. Repeat step 4.

Lua

After installing the web part, you can now install the Lua addon.

  1. Open GMOD Web with your webbrowser
  2. Click on the bullhorn (further named "Admin") -> Settings -> Update
  3. Click on the "Lua" button and save the ZIP file
  4. Extract the files to a folder and navigate to gextension/lua/config
  5. Edit sh_config.lua to your needs. Required: WebURL
  6. Edit sv_config.lua and insert your MySQL data (same that you used for GMOD Web)
  7. Upload the folder into your server's addon folder
  8. Restart your server

The Lua installation is now finished and you should see that GExtension has connected to the database in the console. But to work correctly, you now need to assign your server to a serverbundle.

  1. Open GMOD Web with your webbrowser
  2. Navigate to Admin -> Settings -> Servers
  3. Create a new serverbundle with a fitting name (for example "TTT") and select your server
  4. After five seconds, you can see in the console, that the server found the bundle
