TortoiseSVN

[Alfie]

This is the simplest SVN program to use (for me it is any way). I'll explain it all the way through and if there's something you don't understand PM me and I'll do my very best to help.

Downloading and Installation:
1) Download TortoiseSVN. Make sure you download the top 32bit one. (This is a program that was not specifically designed for GMod but is used for it)
2) Install it.

Using TortoiseSVN for GMod:
1)Go to C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/<YOURSTEAMNAME>/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons
2)I'm going to use PHX as an example. If you already have PHX2 then simply right click on it, then click SVN Checkout. In the 'URL of Repository' enter this 'https://phoenix-storms.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phoenix-storms' (without quotes).
Then click 'Ok'.
3) It should then start downloading all of the things that you don't have that are in the repository.

1)If you don't have PHX2 or PHX just create a folder called 'PHX3' and then just follow the steps above.

Using TortoiseSVN for Wiremod:

1) Right click on garrysmod/garrysmod/addons.
2) Go to SVN Checkout
3) Then in the 'URL of Repository', put in 'https://svn.wiremod.com/svn/wiremod' (Without quotes)
4) Click 'Ok' and if it pops up with a password box type in 'anonsvn' for the user and the password. (without quotes.
Then you don't have to delete your old folders of Wire and the recreate them. You can just click SVN Update to get latest version.

Installing other GMod things with SVN:
There is a list of all the GMod packs using SVN here
Just follow the same method I explained for PHX.

What you need to do is this:

1) Delete any PHX stuff in addons

2) Make a new folder called PHX3

3) Do all the tortoise SVN stuff

4) Profit!
