# Setting Gamemodes on a Garry's Mod Server

This tutorial will show you how to set the gamemode on your Garry's Mod server, be it sandbox, terrortown, darkrp, or anything else.

To set the gamemode on a Garry's Mod server, click on the "Game Settings" tab on the left side of the Nodecraft server control panel, then edit the `gamemode` option as presented. This will generally relate to a folder in the `garrysmod/gamemodes` directory on your server, but may differ if using a workshop gamemode. It's always best to consult the documentation for your selected gamemode.

`foldername` will usually be the exact name of the folder with the added gamemode, in the folder `garrysmod/gamemodes`.

Click "Save" when finished, and restart the server for the changes to take effect.
