BaseWars is a gamemode all about printing and raiding. Build your own base to print tons of money while fighting off enemies trying to raid you!
This project is a refactor of the original BaseWars gamemode. Its goal is to provide cleaner, better optimized code that uses modern Garry's Mod and GLua APIs and takes advantage of their newer features, while staying compatible with current addons and preserving the original gameplay.

- Replaced the old player data (tmysql/SQLite) in favor of goobie-sql
- Switched to Srlion's Hook Library
- Removed EasyLua
- Removed the old qchat
- Compatibility with newer addons (see here)
- A lot of optimizations
This refactor is intended for a fresh database. Please do not try to import data from your old BaseWars gamemode unless you know what you're doing.
- A CPPI compliant prop-protection addon. We recommend gProtect
- A fading door addon.
- A MySQL database.
- A goobie-sql release compatible with your Garry's Mod branch.
- Srlion's Hook Library, installed through your server's Workshop collection.
- Drag the folder into
garrysmod/gamemodes. - Edit
garrysmod/gamemodes/basewars/gamemode/config.luato your own liking. - Download
goobie-sql.luaintogamemode/server/thirdparty/goobie-sql.lua. Install its matchinggmsv_goobie_mysqlbinary ingarrysmod/lua/bin. - Add Srlion's Hook Library to your server's Workshop collection.
- Set the host, port, user, password, and database in
gamemode/server/mysql.lua. The database must already exist; BaseWars creates its own tables. Use an account with table creation and read/write permissions.
The default weapon configuration uses Customizable Weaponry 2.0. You can change gamemode/config.lua if your server uses different weapons.
