Owners of Garry's Mod, tell me...

[.:Bubb Rubb:.]

I'm pondering the idea of buying Gmod sometime in June. However, I've heard many things surrounding textures and props and other things. Get ready...
The FAQ says that if I have just one Source Engine game, than I get all of the items from Half-Life 2. However, I also heard that they will have that 'broken' purple-and-black texture applied to them. I've heard others say that one Source Engine game will not get you the items from HL2, and you need to buy it in order to get those props. Finally, a member of a forums I frequent said that without CS:S a majority of SWEPS, maps and other addons that use CS:S's coding and textures will have broken textures without CS:S installed. I just want to play the game without broken textures/maps.
Thanks a lot, everybody.

Well pretty much out of all of them CSS is the best to own for GMod

That really doesn't answer my question. I honestly don't think I'm going to buy Counter-Strike, unless I HAVE to. It's just a game that doesn't interest me. In the case that the textures are broken, I would just buy the bundle. Look at the topic again.

All you need is one source game. Gmod uses the Source SDK that comes with said game, not the game itself. The game will work flawlessly, however content from games you do not own will not be available to use. It won't cause any errors however.

Most Half-Life 2 objects will appear correct in-game no matter which game you get along with Garry's Mod, as most of the assets from that game are part of Source SDK anyway.

Wow, thanks a lot guys!
So, basically, what I'm getting is that I'll get TF2 items and HL2 items, but not CS:S items because I don't have it? I'm assuming this because the HL2 items are the basis of all Source games, and you say it runs on the SDK.

Whee I'm right :D
So, if what I'm saying is true, if I downloaded a SWEP that uses the Deagle model, the model and texture wouldn't work?
I don't care either way, I don't see the point in them. That's all I needed to know. Thanks!

If it used a custom deagle, it would work, if it uses the CSS deagle, it would be an error/pink and black.
