This is a long shot, but I’m trying to track down an old Garry’s Mod addon I used back around 2010-2011 (GMod 12 / Toybox era). It was a toolgun addon that could play YouTube videos, but not like the usual TV or media player addons. This one was really simple and kind of gimmicky.
What I remember really clearly:
- It used the toolgun itself (not a separate screen or prop)
- There was a tiny screen drawn directly onto the toolgun
- When you clicked, it would instantly start playing a video
- Clicking again would skip to the next video
- There was no menu or UI at all, just cycling through videos
The videos weren’t random, it had a built-in playlist, and it always played the same ones in the same order.
Some of the videos I clearly remember it playing:
- Bad Apple!! (the Touhou shadow animation one)
- Last Night, Good Night (Hatsune Miku)
- Pendulum - Propane Nightmares music video
- Other early 2010-ish YouTube / Nico Nico style videos
So it definitely wasn’t something like PlayX or any of the bigger media player addons. It felt more like a small Toybox gimmick addon. At this point I’m just trying to find out what it was called, or if anyone else remembers it. It seems like one of those obscure Toybox addons that got lost over time, but I’m hoping someone here might recognize it. Even just the name would help a lot, it’d be awesome to finally find it again.
