How to use SVN packs

This seems to be a big problem with the GMod community, with most of them resorting to downloading an obsolete or broken pack from www.garrysmod.org. I hate to see people getting pissed off at an easy solution, so I've decided to post an SVN guide.

First of all, you need an SVN client. Personally, I use TortoiseSVN. [link]. When you download it, you need to install it. After you've installed it, whenever you right-click in a folder, there will be 2 new options:

SVN Commit
TortoiseSVN

To download SVN files, you need to go to the proper folder (As in, the folder where you want it installed), right-click, and click SVN Commit. A window will pop up. The only part of this window we are interested in is the top part (where you can paste things).

You will need to find a working link for the SVN to work. When you paste in the link and press the "OK" button, a new window will pop up which looks something like this:

It will have different text in the box, but it will look the same.

Some SVNs take a long time to load (10 mins+) while some will finish in no time. The speed of the download also depends on where you are downloading from.

After the SVN client has finished downloading the files, the "OK" button stops being greyed out and you can press it. Now you can launch GMod and test out your new pack!
