Hello,
Everytime i try to run gmod with Hldj it runs "Source Sdk - Orangebox" instead.
Is there anything to do to fix this?

What version of Gmod? If it's the purchasable one over Steam, it should work fine, if not you may need tweak some things.

It's the newest gmod of steam Garry's mod 10 (Or "11" as they say")
And it is the purchasable one on steam.

Inside of Gmod 's game directory, is there a file called "GameInfo.txt"; if so, copy-paste its contents here.

HLDJ knows which Source game to launch by the
Steam App ID listed in it's
GameInfo.txt. Gmod's AppID is listed as 4001, but there they have it as 218 (Source Orange SDK). Even during early development, I've seen Gmod pull some weird stunts with their GameInfo.txt's, see if there isn't another GameInfo.txt in a subfolder somewhere. Otherwise, you may want to contact Gmod devs and ask them what's up.
p.s. is the Gmod game folder located under SourceMods? Because then in that case it's legit to not use a unique AppID.

That's not really a fix, if you want to bypass launching the game, just go into options and uncheck "Launch game"; it will stop launching orange box, but unfortunately, every other game as well.
