Bodycam × Garry's Mod — prototype scaffold

Status: source-only, not yet a working/publishable mashup.

What is implemented

• Two original Garry's Mod Lua SWEPs: a deliberate-fire rifle and pistol.
• Slower single-shot firing, weapon recoil, high damage, and no custom crosshair.
• A startup log that makes the missing companion integration explicit.

Hard blocker to the requested version

Bodycam is built on Unreal Engine and its maps/assets are in Unreal-native formats. Garry's Mod/Source cannot directly load a Bodycam map or use its weapon assets as native map/weapon content. The requested design also forbids copying or shipping Bodycam files. This scaffold therefore does not claim to load Bodycam's real map or guns. A real bridge would need a legal, runtime conversion/import path that reads the player's installed copy and produces Source-compatible map geometry/materials and weapon representations without redistributing the source assets; that bridge is not implemented here.

Install for local Lua testing

Copy the bodycam_gmod_mashup folder into: <Garry's Mod>/garrysmod/addons/

Then launch Garry's Mod, start a sandbox session, open the spawn menu, and look under Weapons → Bodycam x GMod Prototype. If the base-game weapon models are available, the two SWEPs should appear. This has not been tested in a running game in this environment.

Not done

• No Bodycam map or original Bodycam gun assets are loaded.
• No companion-folder handoff or runtime reading of Bodycam content.
• No gameplay screenshot, in-game test, package validation, or Melty publication.
• No credits/license/remix permissions have been finalized.
