# Gamemodes

## <mark style="color:red;">▸Verify Gamemode</mark>

After installing **Vliss**; you need to ensure that Vliss is utilizing the correct gamemode. Vliss is able to recognize numerous gamemodes; however, may not catch every single one.

View your **server console output** and look for the following:

![Example of vliss properly detecting the gamemode](/files/-MNT9J3ODGD_HeIRg6QW)

![Example of vliss not detecting the gamemode](/files/-MNT9NR4efKbjnIg6A8_)

If console reads *<mark style="color:yellow;">**Gamemode Detected: Unknown**</mark>*; this means that you are running a gamemode not detected by Vliss.

Go to folder <mark style="color:yellow;">**`addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\`**</mark>

Find the gamemode file similar to your gamemode and open it.

If running <mark style="color:yellow;">**Prophunt**</mark>; open:<mark style="color:yellow;">**`sh_cfg_gm_prophunt.lua`**</mark>

If running <mark style="color:yellow;">**DarkRP**</mark>; open:<mark style="color:yellow;">**`sh_cfg_gm_darkrp.lua`**</mark>

After it is open; view the setting at the top which ends in **Enable** and set it to **true.** Review the examples below if you need help:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="DarkRP" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_darkrp.lua

rp.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Deathrun" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_deathrun.lua

deathrun.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Melon Bomber" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_melonbomber.lua

melon.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Murder" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_murder.lua

murder.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Prophunt" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_prophunt.lua

prophunt.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Sandbox" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_sandbox.lua

sandbox.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Terror Town" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_ttt.lua

ttt.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Zombie Survival" %}

```lua
-- OPEN: addons\vliss\lua\vliss\sh\gamemodes\sh_cfg_gm_zombiesurvival.lua

zombie.Enabled = true
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Once you have set your gamemode's config to <mark style="color:yellow;">`true`</mark>; restart your server and join. You should now be setup to run your proper gamemode.

{% hint style="info" %}
The latest version of Vliss includes a "smarter" gamemode detection system. This is the same system that will be included in the complete re-write.
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:red;">▸Adding New Gamemodes</mark>

To add support for your gamemode properly; follow the instructions below:

Open the gamemode loader file located in<mark style="color:yellow;">**`lua\vliss\sh\sh_cfg_gm.lua`**</mark>

Determine what entry best explains your running gamemode. If it is based on darkrp; then you can add your new gamemode under the darkrp listings:

```lua
/*
    rp
*/

[ 'darkrp' ]            = { id = 'rp', name = 'DarkRP' },
[ 'dark_rp' ]           = { id = 'rp', name = 'RP Based' },
[ 'starwarsrp' ]        = { id = 'rp', name = 'Starwars RP' },
[ 'hogwartsrp' ]        = { id = 'rp', name = 'Hogwarts RP' },
[ 'hogwarts_rp' ]       = { id = 'rp', name = 'Hogwarts RP' },
[ 'new_gamemode' ]      = { id = 'rp', name = 'Your Gamemode Name' },
```

**Line 10+** is where you will add your new gamemode to the list. Ensure that you enter your gamemode name correctly in the area before the equal sign where **'new\_gamemode'** is in the example above. It is the name you use in your *server's startup parameters* when you specify your gamemode name. It is also the name of the gamemode folder on your server.

You may use whatever name you wish for the **name** value; but you MUST keep the **id** as **`'rp'`** or it won't know which settings to load (if you're running an RP gamemode).

Other gamemodes such as Prophunt, etc; are the same, but with a different **id** value.

## <mark style="color:red;">▸Gamemode ID List</mark>

In the above information ([**Adding a New Gamemode**](/setup/gamemodes.md#adding-new-gamemodes)); it requires you to use an **id** for each new custom gamemode you add. Below, those IDs have been provided:

| **Gamemode**                                                    | **ID** |
