Missing Materials on Gmod Map

[MaxineMaxie]

I tried to convert a map that I made for gmod using the default materials but the program was unable to find a ton of the materials
Upon looking further I found the materials but they aren't packaged into a vpk and adding it as a folder doesn't work either, it still can't find it
I know that nobody is updating this program or helping people with issues anymore, but any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Here's the log in case it helps:

Hello!
Sorry about the long delay, life reared it's ugly head for a bit. I'm still alive, but have much less time to work on the project

Just to make sure, when you added the extra resources, did you add the "materials"/"models" folders directly, or the folder that contains those two folders?

[MaxineMaxie]

I added the folders directly since the folder they were contained in had VPKs (fallbacks_000, fallbacks_dir, garrysmod_000, garrysmod_001, garrysmod_002) that caused an error (SEVERE: Fatal error: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: Range [0, -1) out of bounds for length 26) Which I found out through a different issue page.
I tried copying the material and model folders into an empty folder and using that, but that also left the program unable to find the materials.

[Dylancyclone]

Make sure you're only adding the _dir.vpk files. That file points to all the other ones ("000", "001")

[MaxineMaxie]

The issue is that GMod stores most of its assets in regular folders as opposed to VPKs, so I need to either find a way to put them into a VPK or add them to the resource list as just folders with the files in them.

[Dylancyclone]

Remember you can also import assets in regular folders by selecting "Add Folder." This will add all the assets in the "materials"/"models" folders.

custom-content/        <----- Select this folder
├── materials/         <----- DON'T select this folder
│   └── models/
│       └── props/
│           ├── clock.vmt
│           └── clock.vtf
└── models/            <----- DON'T select this folder
    └── props/
        ├── clock.dx80.vtx
        ├── clock.dx90.vtx
        ├── clock.mdl
        ├── clock.phy
        ├── clock.sw.vtx
        └── clock.vvd

So for gmod you can add

[...]/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/garrysmod_dir.vpk
[...]/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/sourceengine/hl2_misc_dir.vpk
[...]/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/sourceengine/hl2_textures_dir.vpk
[plus any other mounted games like cs:s]

And then the folder itself

[...]/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/

[MaxineMaxie]

I tried that and it threw this error

Any idea why?

P.S. Thanks for being patient with me, I really appreciate it

Edit: I just noticed I had an incorrect VPK added, but swapping out for the right one still threw the same error

[MaxineMaxie]

Hello? I still haven't gotten it to work :/

[MaxineMaxie]

...Hello?

[Dylancyclone]

Hi sorry again for the delay. My garrysmod install seems to have a different layout for its files (the materials that were missing in your log are in the vpk files for me). If you could, try moving/copying the assets (the materials,models,etc), from the garrysmod folder to some other "custom_content" folder and then include that folder. The program might be getting caught on some invalid file somewhere else in your "garrysmod" folder

[MaxineMaxie]

Well, we have progress, now we're getting a different geometry-based error:

Starting VMF2OBJ conversion v2.0.0
[1/5] Reading VPK file(s) and custom content...
[2/5] Reading geometry...
SEVERE: Fatal error: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Unterminated object at line 1 column 1772 path $.solids[0].sides[0].null

[Dylancyclone]

Ack it doesn't like something in the map file itself now. Is it possible to upload the VMF? That way I can take a closer look?

[MaxineMaxie]

Yea, sure!

[Dylancyclone]

Thanks, I am extremely busy the next few days but I will take a look once I get a chance

[MaxineMaxie]

Oh! I AM using Hammer++, do you think that could be part of the issue?
Like should I be opening and saving in regular Hammer first or does it not matter?
