Spacebuild Comprehensive Setup Guide

I spent the last 3 days learning how to do all of this, and there really doesn't seem to be a comprehensive up-to-date guide out there. So here's my attempt: (Work in progress!)

Tools You Will Need: Download and install these first!

• A subversion client is required to grab most of these files. It means you always get the most up-to-date versions of everything, what's not to love? Tortoise SVN works great on Windows
• A depackaging tool: WinRAR, 7zip, or any other one you love.

Steps to Success

First, I'll cover the installation of mods that are required for a functioning SpaceBuild experience.

1. Bring up Windows Explorer, and navigate to the following directory:

   C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/*username*/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/

NB: Your Program Files may not be on C:, if you're on a 32-bit system go to Program Files rather than Program Files (x86)

2. Create a new folder here, name it Spacebuild 3
3. Go to this link in your web browser
4. Under the section entitled Spacebuild 3, copy the link address for the first item, "Spacebuild (contains SB, LS, RD and CAF)"
5. Back to explorer, right click on the folder you created, and select SVN Checkout
6. Tortoise SVN should automatically populate the target field with the link you copied. Verify this is correct, and hit OK.
7. Wait for the many many files of SpaceBuild to download!
8. Repeat steps 1-8 with the following folders and SVN links:

• Go here and do the same with each other item under the bold heading Spacebuild 3
• SBEP: Go here and grab the SBEP Main SVN

For direct downloads, simply extract the file you get into your /garrysmod/garrysmod/addons folder where you put the SVNs.

That's it for Spacebuild - you can now create basic spaceships and die horrible deaths in space. However, you probably also want to use the following mods. Most of them are SVN based, which you use exactly as above.

Let me know if you have any others you recommend, and I'll add them.

Once you have all these running, you can start a Spacebuild game in singleplayer or local multiplayer by selecting a Spacebuild map (prefix sb_) using the toybox!

Right now, I don't know of any good servers, but I'll update here if I find any. Enjoy!
