How to change gamemode in GMod
Type gamemode terrortown in the server console, then change the map: the new gamemode loads on the next map. At launch, use +gamemode sandbox.
gamemode
Sets which gamemode the server runs, using the gamemode's folder name such as sandbox or terrortown.
gamemode <folder name> Examples
gamemode terrortown Switch to Trouble in Terrorist Town, then change map to load it.
+gamemode sandbox +map gm_construct Launch command line form.
Arguments
folder nameRequired- Gamemode folder name, for example sandbox, terrortown, murder or darkrp.
What it does
Holds the name of the active gamemode folder from garrysmod/gamemodes or a Workshop addon. Changing it does not switch gamemode on the spot: the new gamemode loads on the next map change. Most servers set it on the launch command line with +gamemode so it is right from the first map.

Good to know
- Use the folder name, not the display name shown in the server browser.
- Follow it with
changelevelormapto apply it.
Run it on your server
On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
