gm_construct is named like that because it was based of the Construct from The Matrix. The program that can provide the characters in the movie with anything they want, for example in the movie it creates loads and loads of weapons. The Construct in the movie is by default a completely white room, hence why the first version of gm_construct is a white room. The first version of gm_construct had a few buttons for spawning in objects because at the time Gmod did not have it's Q spawn menu.

After managing a Counter Strike Source server for a while, I've noticed quite a weird crossover between the two when they were both still pretty fresh. A lot of oldschool rp maps for Garry's Mod contain spawn points for both games. (garrys mod takes info_player_spawn which is teamless, while cs:s takes t and ct spawns) so it ends up being that a lot of gmod maps work on cs:s. So if you really wanted to you could consider any fan made cs:s map to be for garrys mod at that time. The reality is most servers at the infancy of gmod probably did just that, used cs:s or hl2 custom maps until it really took off.

The blank construct was the first map I played back when I was 14 in 2004, no menus or tools, just that white room with a few props and the spawning board like the video shows. The physics were still brand spanking new so throwing around ragdolls and props was enough to entertain us back then. I forget but I don't even think there was joint freezing at that point, could be wrong though. It's pretty incredible how far gmod has come.

Yeah I remember people trying to make comics before they added the ability to change expressions on the ragdolls. The forums back then were crazy too, the mods would just mess with people. I stupidly mentioned I had a girlfriend in one thread and a mod permanently changed my username to "GOT A GIRLFRIEND". Instead of banning you they would just restrict you to a cursed message board which had obnoxious, headache-inducing flashing neon colour schemes where people could spam whatever they wanted (half the posts were about how Snape kills Dumbledore).

Haha such bittersweet memories, I still remember that I used to download addons from garrysmod which you had to manually put the addons into the game folder yourself and maps made for half life 2 on fpsbanana before the name got change to gamebanana(don't know when they change the name) Like damn! some maps on gamebanana that I used to played are still there! "Antlion Troopers HQ" "Alien" "boathouse" "Breen Quest For The Holy Grail" "Npcs2" "Experimental Fuel" Gosh its bittersweet seeing them again even the old comments left by users, it's sad that these maps won't ever get played but I guess thats how time goes. It's nostalgic and bittersweet. If anyone that comes across this comment who is also an old player like me, then I gotta say that you're so damn old lol.

Oldest sort of sandbox map I ever made for HL2 myself, which I later uploaded to be downloaded for GMod, was from late 2005 I think. It was inspired by de_rats, being just a sort of massive room, mostly covered by the red brick texture, without any light entities or nothing. It was absolute garbage, and luckily completely lost in time to the best of my knowledge. I also created a crate reskin originally exclusively for GMod, but that upload got also lost with the other stuff when the original site went down. It still exists on Gamebanana uploaded by another user on August 2006, still credited to me at least... Apparently downloaded over 10k times.

The problem is facepunch really wasn't a thing till gmod 9ish, prior to that it was just gary mostly. There was a few older maps for gmod but most of those were ports from other source mods, the oldest unquie gmod level I seen basially was someones first map. I can't recall what it was called, but it was basically just someone following a entry level hammer tutorial. I want to say it was older than combine but not by much.All it was a textured box. Gmod really didn't move for a long time out of that first few versions. When gm_construct1 came out a lot of people didn't like the white texture so someone within a few hours decompiled the map and changed it to a skybox and then up loaded that to filefront. I made maps for gmod back in gmod 7 days, and I miss gmod 8 and 9 the most. 9 had crazy wacky gamemodes and was a million times easier to make custom game modes than the current gmod and they just plain worked with no problem. I made dozens and dozens, and then gary had valve release the nuke patch to intentionally break and single out older versions of gmod. Someone found a fix, fixed gmod 9 but all the game modes were broken. I had gone to work fixing most of them only to be met with a whopping 5 servers who found out about the fix. Gary pissed off a lot of gmod 9 fans and tried to blame valve scapegoating and basically getting a massive boycott of gmod 10 back in the day. I eventually bought 10 but it wasn't 10 any more it was 11 and I found the gamemodes to be heavily lacking, the sweps to be abismally small compared to 9, and the game modes just to be poorly done clones of only the most popular and not to many new game modes. It took years to get back what had been made on gmod 9 and it wasn't even fully back as people had made so much in so little time with a smaller audience on gmod 9 than they did with 11, 12, and yes even 13.But more of the community was involved with the development back then.That is kinda a problem when looking for older maps, there was A lot of them, but most were using sites like megaupload or filefront and not fpsbanana because fps banana back then kept shoving ads with viruses, had a toxic community that would down vote games off their site just to attack individuals, and was mostly moderated by 9 year olds who banned users over small things.

I was a wirebuild creator, as well as connected to several really old content creators (GenericDefault as example) who made many Adv. Duplicator saves that the community back then flocked to. As for maps, I did keep maps of the era all the way from the end of Gmod 9, and several server specific build maps that were never released to the public but left an impression, where each could be their own video alone, as well as many old maps that others have mentioned such as hometown_1999, etc.
