Installation notes:
- Join the public Steam group (Click)
- Subscribe to VManip (Base) on the workshop
- Drag and drop "addons" and "lua" folders from the zip to steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod
- Run the 64-bit version of gmod (see Troubleshooting "Module not found")
- Select 'Beatrun (Demo)' in the main menu (bottom right, gamemode dropdown)
Troubleshooting:
"Module not found", movement not working
- Check you are on the 'x86-64 - Chromium + 64-bit binaries' branch (Properties > Betas)
- Check you are playing on the 64-bit executable
- Check .dll files are present in lua/bin
- Install x86 and x64 C++ Redistributables:
vc_redist.x64.exe
vc_redist.x86.exe
Beatrun doesn't show up in gamemodes
- Check that you've extracted in the correct place (beatrundemo should show up in addons)
Crash on loading
- Join the Steam group
- Delete bin/win64 folder (the one with gmod.exe) and verify integrity
- Turn off your third-party antivirus software. Bitdefender will apparently throw a fit
Multiplayer issues on clients
- All players must have the demo installed
Multiplayer inexplicably downloading some maps and PMs
- Delete WorkshopContent.lua in addons\beatrundemo\gamemodes\beatrundemo\gamemode\sv

I want to hide the HUD
