New gmod server

[rabid cake]

hey guys, i heard this was the best group to answer my question.

now i am absolutely clueless to how this works, so please bare with me. im trying to set up a gmod server for prop hunt, murder, trouble in terrorist town, deathrun ect. the server is still at basic setup. ive changed just the few things such as server name and the basics. what goes above my understanding is the adding of content.

i need an absolute new to servers walk through guide to setting up these game modes. or someone willing to coach me through team viewer and show me how to finish what i have slowly started to pull my hair out over.

any help is greatly appreciated, servers are by far my biggest flaw....

okay, i might be asking a bit too much.

all i need for right now is someone to just instruct me on adding prop hunt, im a pretty quick learner, once ive done it once i should be able to do the rest myself.

so here is what ive done so far step by step,
1.changed server name
2. enabled rcon password
3. made a server password
4. set default game mode to "Prophunt" (without quotes)
5. made an API key
6. did nothing with collection id's
7. set svn repositories to download murder and prophunt from gitub
8. set starting map to "cs_office" (no quotes)
9. commit changes
run through ftp, change the mount.cfg to include the two new gamemodes, re-upload mount.cfg
10. started the server, opened gmod, found my server.

and here's where i lose my shit.
server starts no problem, that i can tell, im in office however it will not run the prophunt gamemode.
i hit the tilde key to open console. type gamemode murder and i get this error in the console:

] gamemode Prophunt
Couldn't change active gamemode - 'Prophunt' not found
Changing gamemode to Murder (murder)
Parent and child ConVars with different default values! HUNTER_FIRE_PENALTY child: 25 parent: 5 (parent wins)
Parent and child ConVars with different default values! HUNTER_KILL_BONUS child: 100 parent: 20 (parent wins)
] gamemode prophunt
Couldn't change active gamemode - 'prophunt' not found
] gamemode Murder
Couldn't change active gamemode - 'Murder' not found

it starts to change gamemode, but never does, im stuck in sandbox. if i try to change to a different game mode it says its not found. im very lost. i have no idea what im doing wrong.

can anyone explain how stupid im being, i feel like im missing something and its probably fairly obvious to someone who has done this before. i will gladly pay someone something to help me figure this out.

Make sure you have the gamemode names listed in lowercase on the "Easy setup" tab. Garry's mod for some odd reason doesn't like capital letters.

Kraze,

I had completely wiped both from the server, changed that to lowercase and set it to redownload. I then went back to the mount.cfg and made sure to change that to lower case as well and uploaded the change.

Its probably good to note that this is all I have done, I have not added any maps, or extra addons at this point.

Double check to make sure default game type is lower case, that svn file name is in lowercase, and commit changes. All while server is off.

Turn server on after waiting a few minutes, connect in gmod to the server.

and here's where I can't figure out what's wrong.
It loads the map I've set, but it's not the default game mode. So I open console and attempt to force change it. The console recognizes and appears to change game mode. The game mode splash screen behind the menu changes, but the server never resets to change for the new game mode and I'm still stuck sitting there holding a phys gun.

I can keep changing game mode and watching the splash screen change in correlation but there's no reset and it's stuck in sandbox. I even went as far as to try a few mp_restart commands but with no luck before giving up for the night. I've run out of ideas and I didn't want to keep bothering support so I started this post hoping someone in the community could figure out what I'm doing wrong.

When I say in console "gamemode (prophunt/murder) there is an error that shows up.

Parent and child ConVars with different default values! HUNTER_FIRE_PENALTY child: 25 parent: 5 (parent wins)
Parent and child ConVars with different default values! HUNTER_KILL_BONUS child: 100 parent: 20 (parent wins

Then nothing else.
