Cloudbox - The new Toybox!

Description
CLOUDBOX IS IN DEVELOPMENT, EXPECT BUGS
Almost all of the content on Cloudbox is from 2010-2012, scripts may not fully work because of updates. We're actively developing a compatibility layer and releasing improvements often.

Cloudbox - The new Toybox!
Ever miss Toybox? Weren't there to experience it yourself? With over a thousand original Toybox creations available to use, give Cloudbox a try.

What it does
Just like the original Toybox, Cloudbox adds a new tab to your spawn menu where you can easily grab new weapons, entities, etc all without needing to reload the map. On top of that, it works in multiplayer unlike Toybox.

How it works
Versions of Garry's Mod that came with Toybox used to locally save (almost) everything you downloaded. We've taken those cached files and converted them into a new format so they can be downloaded and used again.

How can I (you!) help
Have any old installs of Garry's Mod lying around? If it's from 2010 to 2012, there's a good chance it has valuable cached Toybox creations we can use to revive more of Toybox. Add me on Steam or Discord (@keroronpa), you can help us make our archive even better.

I want to run a server
Awesome! You can add Cloudbox to your server just like any other addon. If you want new players to be able to join when you're playing on a map from Cloudbox, you'll need to add something to your config (or run the command).


This lets new players download the map straight from Cloudbox, even without having it installed.

Open source?
Yes! Cloudbox is fully open source, from the addon itself to the server powering it.

You can see the code for:

Known Bugs
  • A lot of stuff doesn't work right (we know, our compatibility layer isn't finished yet)
  • Sometimes I stop being able to download things (something broke, you need to change map)

Where is Cloudbox data stored
When you download something from Cloudbox, the content is stored locally so it doesn't have to be downloaded again. This can add up over time, so you might want to clear out the downloads cache. You can find the cache at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\cloudbox\downloads

Commands
You can easily tweak Cloudbox's behavior using console commands.
  • cloudbox_userchangelevel - Allow non-admins to changelevel to Cloudbox maps
  • cloudbox_adminonly - Only allow admins to download from Cloudbox
  • cloudbox_showjoinmessage - Show Cloudbox chat message on join
  • cloudbox_getpackage - Download a package from Cloudbox by ID and (optionally) revision
  • cloudbox_purgecache - Purge the Cloudbox downloads cache

@FOGR - The downloads getting stuck is happening to a few people at the moment, and was also happening to me. I think a Windows Update caused it. Try checking your Firewall and make sure it isn't blocking lsass.exe (C:\Windows\System32\lsass.exe). That's the process which authenticates certificates in Gmod's network connections.
If you're using Linux or Mac I'll need to do some research on what's causing it.

Что делать если вместо меню постоянная загрузка cloudbox хотя это просто картинка а меню работает?

Today's Compatibility Layer update fixes a few things in Multiplayer. Items that use scaling will now scale correctly in MP, for example Reflective Shield, and Big Melon. We're working on additional multiplayer fixes.

Good News! We're working on a favourites system. Can't say when exactly it'll be released but we're working on it.

@Cj ROCKS - We'd like to add a favourites system but I can't promise when it'll happen. The recent upgrades to Gmod and Cloudbox have helped get some of the framework in place though, such as the right-click menu where you'd be able to toggle the favourite status.

Would it be possible to add a favorites system?

We've released a new Cloudbox update with a few fixes:

- Improved the source code viewer. Right-click on any entity or weapon > "View Source Code". If you want to view it in the overlay or desktop browser, click the link on that page.

- Performance of the site should be better, especially on Linux. If you've previously had FPS reduction with the spawn menu open, please try again and let us know if it feels better.

- For users who are on low spec devices or are still experiencing FPS issues in the spawn menu even with the fixes, we've temporarily added a setting. Use "cloudbox_lowfps 1" in console to disable all Cloudbox spawn menu animations. Use "cloudbox_lowfps 0" (default) to re-enable animations.
