Question: Do some mods only require you to basically make a copy of the GMA file in order to back up the mod and keep it safe even if the mod gets taken down? Also second question: If I upload this GMA file to like google drive or something, and then let's say, go to a new computer, can I download that file onto that new computer and be able to use the addon and its models still on Gmod?
1. Yes, some mods only require you to make a copy of the GMA file to back it up and keep it safe, even if the mod gets taken down. 2. To answer your second question, if you upload the GMA file to Google Drive and then download it onto a new computer, you should be able to use the addon and its models in Gmod. Just make sure to place the GMA file in the correct directory on your new computer (typically the "addons" folder within your Gmod installation directory) and it should work as expected.
Aight yeah I recently kiiiinda tested this by like deleting the old file and replacing it with the downloaded gma file from the google drive on my same computer and it seemed to work so yeah that makes even more sense that it'll work on a new computer. Thanks alot.
Good tutorial. But once you have this backed up and if i want to reinstall it and if its not on the workshop then what to do? Meaning how to install this backed up mod?
Uuuhh...i wish i had backed these weapons sweps up... They are gone from the workshop. Its like they were never there. Any chance of obtaining them back? I was soo hyped for this pack.

Outdated - now you gotta download a bunch of things, it's no longer just copy and paste

Good tutorial.
But once you have this backed up and if i want to reinstall it and if its not on the workshop then what to do?
Meaning how to install this backed up mod?
You want to drag and drop it into your addons folder. (If you want to use the weapons).
Uuuhh...i wish i had backed these weapons sweps up...
They are gone from the workshop.
Its like they were never there.
Any chance of obtaining them back?
