The grand GMod Tower.

In one case you go far, in that location will be then much to do information technology can be hard to figure out what annihilation is or how anything works. As such, this guide volition help y'all go acquainted with the basic ins and outs of the gamemode.

Proceed these in listen or you lot might just get banned.

Another thing, the guys that work on this mod did a really great mod, and yous tin support them by donating. Fork over $15 or more and you tin get a few fun bonuses, as shown below.

Is it worth it? You decide!

Your First Steps

GMod Tower is mainly played like whatsoever FPS, so you should know those controls already. However, there are a few things to note.

Hold TAB to bring upwards the chief menus. These menus include a listing of players, your outfit, the awards, settings, news, and an about tab for more than data on GMod Tower.

Players
This listing shows the current players online. It can be sorted to show certain selections of these players on the left-paw sidebar. Clicking on a player's bar will requite you a few options such as grouping or muting.

Outfit
Alter your appearance here! But click on the icon of owned items to equip them. Clicking on the red Ten will unequip any item in that slot.

Awards
There are many awards in GMod Belfry. Each is part of a smaller category, and you tin can switch them out with the sidebar. Each accolade will prove you its requirements also equally your progress towards information technology. In the upper correct corner the GMC (The coin of the game. I'm not sure what it stands for, but my best approximate is "Garry's Modernistic Coins") reward for achieving the honour. Some awards have a trophy icon next to the GMC reward; this means that the award comes with a trophy or detail!

After the TAB menu is the inventory screen. Holding down Q will open this up. Items you lot take readily bachelor will appear hither (if you lot have too many items, you lot can store extra ones in your Vault). Equiping sure items to the Hotbar at the top volition let you lot select and utilise them. Placing cosmetics in the Cosmetics bar will equip them. You can likewise equip these cosmetics to the Hotbar for the same effect. Notifications may too pop up on the lower correct corner. Belongings Q will allow you click on these. Holding downward C lets you open up upwardly the action menu, and clicking on an action will perform it.

You can coil to alter your Tertiary Person camera distance or zoom all the way in to go to First Person view. If you lot hold down Correct Click, then you will be able to move the mouse and examine yourself. If y'all are in Offset Person, this will take you to Third Person temporarily.

Lastly is the HUD, and you tin probably guess what that all does. The lower left corner displays your electric current GMC bachelor and your location in the Tower while the lower right corner will brandish notifications.

The Map

Now that the basic controls are over, nosotros can become into the meat of GMod Tower. There'due south quite a lot of locales, and therefore quite a lot to exercise. Luckily, at that place are maps stationed all around the lobby. Simply walk upward to it and click on it like a bill of fare to teleport to a destination if you don't feel like walking there yourself. Clicking is how you lot interact with any surface interface you will encounter in the Towers.

The map to the anteroom.

Each section in the residual of this guide will cover the locales:

• Plaza
  
• Condos
  
• Gamemodes
  
• Stores
  
• Theatre
  
• Arcade
  
• Casino
  
• Nightclub
  
• Boardwalk

Plaza

The main plaza is where you will exist when you kickoff load into the towers. You volition spawn at the transit station and walk out into the central plaza. Y'all can get to any of the other areas from here, and sometimes a piano is complimentary to play in the eye. Other than that, at that place isn't much to say about this area.

Condos

If you don't plan on going anywhere for a while, you tin can chill out in your condo. There are twelve condos available to rent for free, if there is a slot open. Leaving the Tower Condo area will automatically check yous out of your condo if y'all practice not do so manually. But speak with (press your use fundamental on) the condo lady at the desk.

The condo lady, constantly on 24 hour service. || My condo, gear up for visitors.

Once y'all get a condo, you can enter it and rearrange the furniture however y'all want. Your condo will exist saved to the server, so whenever and wherever you rent it that condo will always announced as you last left it.

Decorating your condo is very simple. But agree Q, notice the particular yous want to use in your inventory, and so click and drag it onto a surface. Use the scroll wheel to alter its angle. Items volition be highlighted green if they can be set down and red if they cannot. Items can be placed on other items to create cool decorations.

The CondOS organisation, ready to utilise.

Within each condo is the CondOS system, a simple way to manage everything near your condo. Each button is relatively self explanatory, but I'll get over them anyways just in case.

From left to correct, the buttons are as follows...

The Lock button will (surprise) lock your condo. If your condo is unlocked, anyone tin enter. If it is locked, merely people you designate every bit your friend can enter.

The Camera button will allow you see who is outside your door spamming the doorbell.

The Room Management button lets you lot come across which rooms you have unlocked and how much it is to buy farther rooms.

The Invitee Direction push lets you come across who is in your condo as well equally kick or ban them from your condo. You can besides review this ban list and lift any bans you lot fabricated.

The Music button lets you set up ambient music to play to anyone in the condo.

The Offset Party push button lets you set upwardly the most awesome political party in the history of humanity. Just select what you want to advertise about the party, pay a small fee, and BAM! Party started. A notice even gets sent out to anybody on the server that you've got a party going on.

The Settings button lets you proper noun your condo, change the CondOS background, and set the doorbell noise. You lot can also see how many items yous have in your condo as well as the item limit.

Keep items in your vault if you have too many.

The vault is a storage compartment in your condo that holds all the items yous can't agree in your inventory. You lot tin can send items to the vault manually, if you want to. Simply drag items from the vault to an empty inventory slot to have the item out and vice versa. Dragging onto a filled inventory slot will bandy the items' positions. If you lot have the Backpack, you can access the vault anywhere.

Requesting and viewing media is a unproblematic procedure.

Aside from these things, your condo tin too be decorated with interactive technology. I uncomplicated one is the Telly, which lets you stream from various video sources similar YouTube. Calculation videos to the Boob tube is simple, elementary look at the TV and hold Q. On the lefthand side will be a menu. Click the "Add Media" button to get started. Click on the desired video service or enter the URL direct. Afterwards navigating to the video page, the request media button should begin to low-cal upwards. Click on information technology and your video will be added to the queue. This is the same process for things similar rave/disco assurance, radios, the theatre, and the nightclub.

Gamemodes

The gamemode edifice, host of many minigames.

As of yet, I accept not even told you lot how to get GMC, the coin of the game. Now it is time to reveal the secret: you need to play minigames. These are accessible through the Games heart. Each gamemode is on a seperate server, and each gamemode will support i group of players at a time. As such, you lot might demand to wait for a gamemode to offset if one is already running or needs more players to join the queue. To practise this, simply sew together to the queue box and smack that use key of yours. You should see your username appear highlighted in its spot in queue. When the gamemode begins, y'all will automatically join from wherever yous are (assuming that there are slots available, since there normally are). Subsequently this, the players vote on the map to play and begin.

There are many unique gamemodes to play. They are, alphabetically...

Ball Race is a gamemode that plays like Super Monkey Brawl. You lot control your graphic symbol trapped in a sphere (or other shape, if you so cull). Get to the end of the level and collect as many bananas as you lot can!

Minigolf is but as it sounds. Play eighteen holes on one of the courses provided. Make it the hole with as few strokes as possible and try to get the everyman score!

PVP Battle is an arcade FPS run n' gun free-for-all! If information technology moves, shoot it! Go more kills than everyone else to win. Get some assistance with ammo and health pickups every bit well every bit various powerups on the maps.

Source Karts is a high speed get-kart action race. Probably inspired by Mario Kart, this gamemode requires skilful drifts, smart detail usage, and raw speed to win. Race on three courses, then fight to the death in the kart loonshit!

Ultimate Chimera Hunt is a 1-versus-all battle to the expiry! One person is selected to exist the powerful Chimera while the rest are drafted as pigmasks. If you are the Chimera, impale all the pigmasks to win. If you are a pigmask, poke the button on the Bubble'southward back to cease it. Only exist quick; if fourth dimension runs out, everyone loses!

Virus is a FPS stolen direct from Timesplitters 2 where ane random person is infected with a deadly virus. This man must try and spread the virus through touch, but the remaining survivors have an arsenal of weapons to protect them. Be careful, as the infected can respawn. Survive long plenty, and the survivors will win. If everyone is infected, though, the infected win.

Zombie Massacre is a top-down shoot em' upward where y'all and your friends must fight hoards of zombies. You can pick upwardly lots of weapons and apply special abilities to help. Did your friend dice? No problem, just poke his tombstone to bring him back! Beware, though, in one case the week is over the real battle begins...

Stores

One time you have your difficult-earned GMC, y'all tin spend it in the stores for various items. Each shop holds its own selection of things, and most are self explanatory.

Central Circuit has all the electrical things your condo could demand. From TVs to Radios, this store has anything running on volts.

The Smoothies stand might not exist spectacular in appearence, but when it comes to ingredients for your blender you will never observe a amend seller.

We all dear music, correct? If information technology plays a note, you can probably find it here. From the disco ball to the sought-after piano, this store is in tune to whatsoever musical needs.

Every condo needs article of furniture, and no place carries a wider diverseness of quality decorations. Whether you need some books, a bed, some walls, or even a few posters, Sweet Suite has information technology all.

If you don't want to look similar a bum, you're going to demand some nice threads. Hats, glasses, apparel, all of these and more than are available at Tower Outfitters.

Everyone needs a piffling something for their inner kid. This shop has all way of knicknacks and pets, and then you too can get a costly fox to slumber with or adopt a pet watermelon.

Theatre

The theatre building, pending your selection of movie.

The theatre is basically a public TV set. Gather your friends, enter one of the two viewing rooms, and spotter some YouTube together. If you don't like the current video, you lot can effort to vote to skip it. Thumbs up some queued videos to watch them sooner, and add your ain videos to the queue. If y'all want to, there's a gameroom but outside the first viewing room to play some awesome flash games.

Head to the gameroom for some arcade fun!

Arcade

The arcade building, currently under construction.

Dorsum in Lobby ane, the arcade was a place where yous could hang out, play some flash games, do a petty scrap of Blockles (definitely not Tetris), play some Tic-Tac-Toe, and engage in some hardcore trivia. Well-nigh of these moved, such as the flash games and Blockles to the Theatre and Tic-Tac-Toe to the Games Port. What will happen to the new Arcade? MacDGuy has a few things planned for information technology, which you lot tin find on the Trello page here: https://trello.com/b/CPLCVPCn/gmtower. Every bit for Trivia? The wiring to that got fried back in Antechamber 1, and stopped working. While MacDGuy fixes all the circuits, we won't exist able to do that. Hopefully soon, however, the Trivia volition be back in action!

Casino

The casino and nightclub pending partygoers. || Get set up to say bye to your GMC.

The casino is a place where players can accept their hard-earned GMC and waste material it in rigged gambling games. Information technology's fun, though, so we do it anyways. In the casino in that location are iv major gambling stations: the slot machines, the video poker machines, the Spin-to-Win wheels, and poker tables. Each one is akin to its bretheren. To play poker, yet, y'all're going to demand to buy some poker chips from the casino lady.

Want to duel? Get ready to fight to the death out in that location.

In the back of the casino is where those wishing for one-on-1 combat hang out. Buy some duel equipment and challenge someone to a fight to the death (for GMC, of form). Winner takes all, no 1 leaves until someone drops dead.

Nightclub

Get ready to get downwardly.

The nightclub is where you can go to dance with friends, listen to awesome music, get drunk, and pretend it's actually nighttime. Request some music, go on the floor, and watch every bit the dynamic lights really reply to the music existence played. Or, if dancing isn't your style, you can ever visit the bar to get some alcoholic beverages. Whether information technology'south merely a drink for yourself or a keg for a political party, the bar lady has everything. Simply don't drink yourself to decease.

Boardwalk

The boardwalk has a couple nice attractions for relaxing.

Once you've had some rigourous fun, you can head down to the boardwalk to unwind and savour the ocean cakewalk. Hop on the ferris wheel with a friend and gaze out to the sea. Take a dip in the lazy river or swim with the fish. Slide down the waterslide in an innertube. Just relax in a embankment chair. The boardwalk is a prime number spot for relaxation.

Other

While the locales are nice, in that location are a few things that aren't actually specific to a place. Here I give to yous annihilation that might not exist elsewhere.

Playing the pianoforte is something most players find fun, if they tin go their hands on i.

The playable piano is an particular available at Songbirds for xv,000 GMC. For those that don't know, this is a more expensive detail. As such, it can exist hard to get. Once obtained, though, your parties will be spectacular. The only thing better than good TV shows and beer is a playable piano. Sometimes one volition be available in the master plaza to attempt out. Playing i is every bit simple as pressing the keys on a keyboard. This is because you play the piano past literally pressing the keys on your keyboard. Hitting Control volition switch between simple and advanced layouts. The advanced layout uses the shift primal to give the actor admission to a larger range of notes. Press Space and y'all volition take a large assortment of sheet music to play off of; if you don't similar what they have, you can find or compose your own homebrew pieces! Once you've finished your playing, simply hit TAB to hop off and let another player have the keys.

This machine won't steal your GMC.

Vending machines can exist establish all over the Lobby. From these machines you can become a variety of size altering potions as well every bit model modifying items.

What're ya buyin'?

The wandering merchant is a mysterious fellow. He carries the merchandise no other store would impact. His wares are varied and unique. He's always willing to part with them for a price - if you tin observe him, that is.

One Last Note

Y'all've seen this part at the end of everything. You know, the part where I say "Thank you for reading my guide" and all that jazz. But because I know yous know the drill doesn't mean I won't do it, though. Then, here nosotros go again: Thank you for begetting with my walls of text! I hope that you learned something helpful about this amazing game. Requite the guide a rating and shoot a comment, whether information technology be about something I did right or incorrect, if it be to point out a grammatical mistake (Please do this ane. I hate it when I overlook something grammatical.), or even but to say "How-do-you-do!" Again, I appreciate you reading my guide. Rate, comment, and play this actually well made mod of a modernistic.

GMod Tower had a good run, and it will exist pitiful to see it go. This is not the finish of a practiced matter, only the offset of something better. I hope to see you all in Tower Unite!
