Description:
What is it?

This is the well-known Cinema mode, but with full support for all the features of the Sandbox mode.

Why was this created?

Since the default Cinema mode was not designed to play properly with the Sandbox mode features, and the Sandbox addons I knew of did not work correctly, I decided to create a working version of this mode by combining the Cinema and Sandbox mode files.

How does it work?

Roughly speaking, when using this mode, you will load into Sandbox, and when you enter a map with Cinema support, all the features of this mode will be available with the ability to turn on video in the appropriate places on the map.

What sources are supported?
  • YouTube
  • TikTok
  • SoundCloud
  • Twitch
  • Rumble
  • DLive
  • Kick
  • Bilibili
  • VK, Sibnet, Ok & Rutube
  • Mega & Google Drive
  • Direct URL (.webm, .mp4, .m3u8, .jpg, .png, …)

How to set up?
  • Close Garry’s Mod if it is open
  • In your games library, right-click on Garry’s Mod.
  • Go to "Properties".
  • In the properties, find the "Betas" section
  • Select "x86-64 – Chromium + 64-bit binaries" from the drop-down menu
  • Sometimes you may also need to install the patch "GModCEFCodecFix[github.com]", which fixes codecs needed for most sites to work correctly.

How to use?

By default, Garry’s Mod opens the context menu when you press the "Q" key: on maps with Cinema mode support, the Cinema menu will open in specially designated places, and in other cases, the Sandbox menu. If you need to open the Sandbox menu in specially designated places for watching videos, simply press the "F1" key, which always opens the Sandbox context menu. If something does not work, check if the controls have been changed, and if necessary, reset the settings to default values ​​​​to use the key functions as described.

Important words, blah-blah-blah and all that…

I am not the creator of the original mode, much less its fixed version. When using this mode, you take on all possible problems. I do not support the Cinema mode itself, but only integrated its features into the Sandbox mode, since I missed it. If you have questions about the Cinema mode, please contact the person who works with its support.
