Garry’s Mod – How to Fix HL2MPTypeDeath Font Issue

In this guide I will show and explain how to fix “HL2MPTypeDeath isn`t valid font” issue.

Intro

Do you have this in your “code problems” section:

lua/includes/modules/killicon.lua:77: ‘hl2mptypedeath’ isn’t a valid font

1. Setfont – [c]:-1
2. Getsize – lua/includes/modules/killicon.lua:77
3. Drawdeath – gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_deathnotice.lua:159
4. Run – gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_deathnotice.lua:207
5. Hudpaint – gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_init.lua:84
6. Unknown – gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/cl_init.lua:103″ ?

If you answered “yes” to this question – this guide for you and don`t worry! we will not touch the code things or something.

Solution

All what you need to do is:

1. Open your gmod location directory (stemapps/common/GarrysMod);
2. Find file “FactoryReset-GMod.bat” in it;
3. Open this file and then type Y.

Keep In Mind!

All your add-ons, maps, configs and etc will be deleted or restored to defaults!

If your configs, add-ons and etc are really expensive for you – just copy these in your reserve folder.

If Doesn`t Worked

If this solution isn`t helped you, then… There is 2 ways:

1. Broken add-on(-s).

If you saved your add-ons in your reserve folder, put these in gmod add-ons folder and then problem is still here – just try to delete your last downloaded add-ons and check for results.

2. Something really deep.

If factory reset didnt help... Well... I dont really know what I can to recommend for you in this case.
