Addons & collections Workshop

Collection Workshop (recommended)

The simplest method is to link a collection Steam Workshop:

1. Create a collection on the GMod Workshop and note its ID
2. In the start settings, add +host_workshop_collection <ID>
3. Inform a Steam API key (-authkey) for download

Players automatically download addons to the connection.

Add Server-side

For server addons only, place them in garrysmod/addons/<mon_addon>/ respecting the structure (folders) lua/, materials/…).

Fast Download (optional)

To speed up downloads, configure a sv_downloadurl pointing to a web space. This avoids slow transfers via the game server.

Apply

Restart the server after adding. Make sure the addons are loaded without error.
