Announcements / Backcats - Farewell and Good L...
Last post by Bryantdl7 - May 13, 2020, 12:25:29 PMHey everyone,
It saddens me to write this, but Backcats, has decided to retire from Darkstorm. I have let him know that he is always welcome to come back to his rank of manager, and our community.
Backcats has been with us since the beginning, starting on our server over six years ago, far exceeding anyone else other than myself. Backcats has helped our community grow tremendously, and the gratitude we all feel for his improvements to the community are immense. He has been an excellent team player, and most importantly a great friend.
Backcats is now set to the rank of retired staff.
Thank you again for all you have done Backcats - I cannot say enough good about what you have done for Darkstorm.
It will be sad to see you go, but you are always welcome back should you change your mind!
- Bryant

Guides/Info / How to Install 64-Bit Garrys M...
Last post by Bryantdl7 - April 27, 2020, 09:47:38 PMSince it seems there are no easy guides available on this, I figured I would make one for everyone. This guide was made on Kubuntu 18.04, however, it should apply to most platforms.
Step 1. Open Steam
Step 2. Go to the Library tab which has all of your games
Step 3. Right-click Garrys Mod, and choose properties
Step 4. This will open up your in-game settings like so. Navigate to the tab called BETAS
Step 5. Choose the beta which starts with x86-64. The wording will differ depending on your platform, but it must start with x86-64.
While you are indeed by the definition of steam installing a beta, this is by far the most reliable branch of Garrys Mod. You will encounter some weird things at times, but mostly if you are a sorry fool like me using Linux :)
Alright, everyone, that concludes how to get 64-Bit Garry's Mod installed! If you found this guide helpful, make sure to check out our servers!

Old news / Forum Repair Complete!
Last post by Bryantdl7 - March 31, 2020, 05:45:55 PMHi everyone!
As of last night, with great thanks to Linkjay, we have got the forums back into a very usable state, with a brand new theme! We have kept all the original posts while fixing all of the problems we were facing on the forums up until this point.
A lot of great things are in store in the future, starting with the website, and now onto greater things. I have gotten more involved now with the Chinese Virus making everyone be home a lot more, so expect to see me on the server more often as well!
Fun fact, as of writing this server, we are the fourth most popular build server running flatgrass, how crazy is that?
Keep an eye on the news tab, more will be coming soon!

Old news / Server Cleanup
Last post by Bryantdl7 - August 28, 2019, 07:58:24 PMAs of 8/28/19 a large number of addons have been removed from the server. Most likely, a large number of the addons you enjoyed are included in this cleanup.
Why did you do this?
We all know that we have been having a good amount of lag lately. In order to narrow down the culprit, I have decided to take a fresh start on a lot of the higher performance addons, and simply add them in using more rigorous guidelines.
Where can I go to request an addon get added?
Please head over to our development page, located on https://github.com/Bryantdl7/darkstormdev/issues and open a new issue containing the following
- Reason you want the addon
- URL of the addon
What about other data on the server?
No other data on the server is being touched, such as maps, duplications, or props. We want everyone's hard work to not be lost.

Old news / The Site 3.0
Last post by Linkjay - March 02, 2018, 10:52:26 PMI fixed the issue where the domain wasn't sending connections to our webserver. This was an issue that I caused and I apologize for that. Everything should be a-ok now. Bother me on Telegram if something is broken.

Old news / The site 2.0
Last post by Linkjay - February 17, 2018, 01:27:22 PMI fixed the website. Bryant tried to fix the site and simplify it, but copied an old backup of our database and applied it to the forums. I informed him on where he went wrong, and reverted what he did.
We have plans to eventually simplify the site, but that's later.
Live on, Darkstorm.
