How to rename DarkRP.
Renaming DarkRP
You've probably noticed the DarkRP gamemode running under multiple different names during your time on Garry's Mod. So how do you rename DarkRP?
Step 1: Installing DarkRP
Installing DarkRP on Physgun is easier than breathing and quicker than a whip. On your server game panel, head to Tools -> Mod Manager
. We offer one-click installs for both DarkRP and DarkRP Modification, so get those installed.
Step 2: Renaming the DarkRP Folder
Once you've installed DarkRP, head to Management -> File Manager
and go to the following directory garrysmod -> gamemodes
. There you'll find your "freshly served from GitHub" DarkRP folder. Hit the three dots on the folder in question, click Rename/Move
and set the contents to /garrysmod/gamemodes/starwarsrp
. Once you've done that, hit Submit
.
PoliceRP
will need to be policerp
.Step 3: Renaming the Gamemode
Now that we've renamed the folder, we need to tell Garry's Mod that the gamemode name has changed as well. Using File Manager, head into your newly renamed folder. In this folder, you'll find a file named darkrp.txt
. Using the knowledge you've scored in the above step, rename that file to starwarsrp.txt
. Once you've done that, click on the file to edit it. You'll then want to change the following lines:
Line 1: "darkrp"
-> "starwarsrp"
Line 4: "title" "DarkRP" ` -> ` "title" "StarWarsRP"
Once you've done this, the file should look a bit like the screenshot below.

will need to be PoliceRP
.Save your newly edited file by pressing the Save File
button in the bottom-right hand corner of the page.
Step 4: Editing the Startup Parameters
Once all the above steps are fufilled, you're finally ready to boot up your server. But first, you'll have to set your startup parameters to use the newly renamed gamemode. Head to Configuration -> Startup Parameters
, find the Gamemode
configuration option and set the value to starwarsrp
. The configuration should automatically save.
Gamemode
configuration to should be the lower-case version of your gamemode name. Like we set on step 1 of this guide.Updated on: 27/04/2023
