Help gun fire lag

[Colin West]

Help! When over like 5-15 people shoot with weapons i lag i got a very bad computer and i got over 30 fps on lowest settings in the server and it's okay but when people shoots my fps goes to like 15 fps or less so please maybe you could replace mad cow weapons with other guns or remove the muzzle flash from the guns please?

My solution to this is to passive rp though.
So try that it will work

Sorry, but this situation is caused by the hardware at your end.

Sometimes the easiest solution is to remove the function causing the problem. In your case you want to remove the muzzle flash in g-mod, So go into..

1. "steam/steamapps/*username*/garrysmod/*garrysmod folder*"

Then find..

2. "lua/effects/gunsmoke.lua"

3. Open it and wipe out everything, but keep the start/end block.

4. Save

Note that doing this can cause anything else that uses that effect to not show either, but since it is causing you to lag it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Always back-up your files though, just incase.

*EDIT* Depending on the effect you are refering too will change which one you'll need to do this for, 'gunsmoke.lua' might not be the right one.
