Installing Star Wars RP
How to set up a Star Wars RP server on Garry's Mod.
"Star Wars RP" (SWRP) isn't its own gamemode, it's DarkRP with its gamemode folder renamed and its jobs/models/weapons reskinned to a Star Wars theme. The traditional way to do this is to rename DarkRP itself, rather than installing a separate gamemode.
Install DarkRP first
Follow our DarkRP installation guide to get DarkRP installed to garrysmod/gamemodes/darkrp and working.
Rename the gamemode folder
Using SFTP or the file manager, rename the garrysmod/gamemodes/darkrp folder to garrysmod/gamemodes/starwarsrp.
Rename and edit the gamemode info file
Inside that folder, rename darkrp.txt to starwarsrp.txt, then open it and update two lines:
"darkrp"
{
"base" "sandbox"
"title" "DarkRP"
..."starwarsrp"
{
"base" "sandbox"
"title" "StarWarsRP"
...Keep the folder name and internal name matching
The folder name (starwarsrp) and the internal name on the first line ("starwarsrp") must match exactly, or Garry's Mod won't recognise the gamemode. The "title" line is just the display name, and can be anything, e.g. "Star Wars RP".
Update the gamemode startup value
Go to the startup section of your service and set the "Gamemode" field to starwarsrp (matching the folder name from the previous step).
🎉 Done
Restart your service. It'll now show as "StarWarsRP" (or whatever you set as the title) rather than DarkRP.
Adding the actual Star Wars content
Renaming the gamemode only changes its name, it doesn't add any Star Wars jobs, playermodels, or weapons on its own. For that, search the Steam Workshop for a "Star Wars RP base" addon and add it as a collection or file-based addon, the same way as any other DarkRP addon.
Third-party content
Star Wars RP bases are community-made addons that vary widely in quality and how up-to-date they are. Check the addon's workshop page for compatibility notes before committing to one.
