Workstop

Description
Workstop is a plugin that will disable the tabs "Dupes" and "Saves" in the Spawn Menu.

Why?
This plugin was made because of the annoyance a lot of server admins have with the stuff that's on the workshop (specifically the high number of crappy dupes).

The plugin will hook into the spawn menu before it is generated and will override the dupes and saves tab, showing only an HTML page, which URL can be customized.

Note that to disable or enable this plugin, you'll have to restart your server.

Configuration
The plugin will automatically override the tabs, the only configuration you can do is defining it's content.

You can use the convar workshop_disable_url to set your own URL, or leave it empty to show a basic "Workshop disabled" message to your users.

Please note that you have to put the URL within quotes, so you'd call something like this:

The webpage is fully interactive, so you can put buttons there or even include your forum.

How to use
Simply add this addon to the collection you use for the host_workshop_collection launch flag on your server.

How not to use
Because some server owners look like they've got a really hard time understanding text, I've made a little list:

  1. Do not add the addon to the clients download list
  2. Do not add the addon to your "resource collections" on the workshop
  3. Do not add the addon to another addon clients will subscribe to
  4. Do not ask your users to subscribe to this addon (yes, this happened)

Doing one of the aforementioned things, means you'll deserve a special mention on the great Leaderboard of Dumb Server Owners™. It'll also upset your players who suddenly see 'unavailable' warnings added to their workshop when they play Single Player / Listen server games (or on servers that allow client-side lua).

Found bugs?
Please make an issue on the GitHub project[github.com] to report bugs,

This addon is ment exclusively for server operators. Use on clients is highly discouraged.

Please see this article about the addon if this addon is causing you, as a player, trouble.

This addon used to be called "Workshop Disabler".

A total wipe later, and nothing worked...

Firstly, don't subscribe to this addon. Your gmod game folder is probably corrupted so yo can try a "verify game files" or just plainly re-installing the game.

If you're on limited data, deleting "Garry's Mod" in steamapps/common and then running a verify should cut down the download size a bit.

So I have this weird issue that the Dupes and Saves tabs in the Q menu only show up when I'm subscribed to this addon, yet I still can't load any personal save files...
How do I fix that?

confused about how to get this to work. server owner went into the config but since I cant put this into my addons because that will mess it up how do I get this onto my server? I'm using a hosting company to host my server

I make dupes and stuff but this is r e a l l y convenient. Why? Because I hate 99% of the dupes and saves that are on the workshop. No effort, no use. You want Me to like Your dupes? Put effort in, like a PAC.
