How to extract addon from .gma file / Import to SFM

In this guide, I will tell you how to extract addon from .gma file without using programs and how to import addon into SFM (Source Film Maker).

What are .gma files and what do they eat with!

GMA is a GarrysMod Addon, and it is this extension that contains all the necessary files, folders for the addon to work. True, and no auxiliary programs will be able to open it! But there are some people who managed to create a converter to extract files from a file with this extension! There is only one question! FOR WHAT? After all, GarrysMod has a built-in program that can help solve all our problems!

Where are all these .gma addons?

We can find the folder with addons along this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons

We extract content from a file with the extension .gma!!!

Step 1 Find our addons folder!
Step 2 We are looking for the addon from which we are going to extract the files!
Step 3 In the second window, open the root folder with the game GarrysMod! Example path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\bin
Step 4 We are looking for the program gmad.exe! We don't open it!
Step 5 Drag and drop the .gma file from the early window that we want to open in the gmad.exe program into a new window!

Step 6 We see that the command line has started! We are waiting for the files to be extracted! We go to our folder with addons and there we see a folder in which all files are extracted from a file with the extension .gma !!! We did it all ... and no auxiliary programs.

Importing the addon into SFM

To transfer the extracted addon to SourceFilmMaker we must open the folder and copy materials and models and copy them to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod*

Then the addon will appear in SFM!!! It's all very very simple.
