Note: $SteamUserDir is the directory in your steam file where game content is stored. Below I have listed where each type of content should go. Also, Add-Ons themselves should go into a certain folder. For each piece of content you add to your Add-On, depending on the file type it needs to be added to a certain folder.

Then you just fill in the quotes with your Add-On's information.Īn Add-On is just a folder with an info file inside it with content is their respective directories. Below I have shown the format of an Add-On file. The info file named 'info.txt' is the key to making any Add-On work. This page will teach you how to create your own Add-Ons that you can distribute to other players. essentially all tricks to make your brain realize that the image you're seeing is not real.Add-Ons are one of the major components to Garry's Mod, because they allow users to easily add custom content to Garry's Mod in an easy, and organized way. So you'll notice a lot of suggestions here say to turn of Dynamic Lighting, Motion Blur, turn up FOV. I installed a high res texture pack and my head started to spin. So all of these things reduce the discrepancy of sensory inputs. Also the visual motion is also reduced with a bigger FOV. The reason I think FOV increase works is because the everything looks 'further away' and thus you see less detail. Now back to games, I think we've reached a point in gaming graphics where things are becoming so detailed and realistic that it's causing this problem. With older movies (at lower FPS and 2D) your brain knows that the image is fake, so it doesn't care about the fact that your inner ear and eyes don't sync. I think this is becoming more of an issue because the scenes are becoming more realistic (with the addition of 3D and 50 fps) so the 'dissonance' between sensory inputs is getting greater. The scene looked like it was moving, but your sitting stationary, so inner ear fluids are not moving.

Same with what people had in 'The Hobbit' with 3D + 50 fps. Your inner ear fluids (responsible for balance) are moving with the vehicle, but the image your eyes are seeing is not moving. One specific example is in a car/airplane if you look at a book (which is often when people get sick). So the way motion sickness works is that you get mixed sensory inputs. I'm a pilot (who happens to be a gamer too) and studying 'human factors' in sickness is something we had to do to get licensed. I agree with others, in that I think it's related to motion sickness.
