Good day. After the new add-on system was introduced, unpacking with old methods became not quite convenient. Half of the add-ons are loaded as before in addons, and the other half in content.

As I understand it, all mods packaged by the new method, namely in .bin, are loaded into content, and then their contents are unpacked into addons. At the same time, the mods remaining in the .gma format are not extracted in addons, and remain in the content folder.

It is not clear why this was done so. In this guide, I’ll show you how to conveniently extract mods from the content folder.

I created a console application in C# in Net Core. This application can work on both Windows and Linux systems (In the second, tests have not yet been conducted, so the application will appear a bit later if it is claimed).

Select the language of the installer.



After choosing the installer language, you will be greeted by a welcome window. Click on the button - Next.



In the next window, you can specify the path where the program will be installed. It is advisable to specify a non-system drive, otherwise it will be necessary after installation to change the launch properties to "As administrator"!.

After selecting a folder, press the button - Next.



In the next window, you will be prompted to create an application shortcut on the desktop. At your look. After selecting, press the button - Next.



In the next window, you will be prompted to start the installation process. If you are ready, click on the button. - Install.



After installation, a window appears to complete the installation process. Check the box "Run Garry's Mod Extractor 2020" and click on the button - Finish.

After the first launch, the console application menu appears, but it is too early to get started. After starting the console application, close it after about 2 seconds.



If you created an application icon on the desktop, you can use the context menu. Right-click on the application shortcut and select "File Location" in the list. Or manually open the folder with the installed program.



After you open the folder with the installed program, you will see that there is a "Config" folder there, go into it. There is a file in this folder called "config.json". Open this file with any text editor. In this example, I am using Notepad ++.





After you open the file, you will see three lines with paths there. Customize the paths based on your location of the game Garry's Mod. Remember to use double slashes "\\".

After you configure the configuration file, you can start working with the application.

There are three menu items in the application.

• Opens a list of addons for later work.
  
• Extract all addons from the content folder.
  
• Closes the application.

When you initialize the list of addons, you use an Internet connection to get information about the add-on. After the list is fully loaded, all information about it will appear in the "cache.json" file in the folder with the installed program.

If you suddenly have problems with the list, you can go to the folder with the installed application and delete the file "cache.json", and then download it again using the Internet connection.



You can select one or more addons to extract using the space bar. To back the main menu, enter the number - 0 - and press the button - Enter.







You can extract addons by dragging and dropping folders and files from the content folder into the application’s EXE file.

I hope for someone this article will be useful. Thanks to those who have read up to this point: 3

If you have questions and suggestions regarding the application - ask and suggest. I will do GIT a bit later, when I’ll make out the code more clearly.
