This guide will show you how to get you're fast download to work direct from workshop.

How do I get my fast download to work from workshop?

The first thing you will need to do is open up notepad or any other editing application.

after doing that you now need that list of addon ID's for this next step. In this new file you need to create the following for each addon ID resource.AddWorkshop("IDHERE") so for example resource.AddWorkshop("391383735") - You need to do this for each addon ID, one per line.

Example:

resource.AddWorkshop("391383735")
resource.AddWorkshop("391383735")
resource.AddWorkshop("391383735")
resource.AddWorkshop("391383735")

This is how it should look in your file, but without having the same ID's of course.

Once you have done that, you will then need to save the file as workshop.lua and upload that file to the follow path in your garry's mod server directory /lua/autorun/server/(paste here).


How to have it automatically run?

The first thing you'd want to do to make it auto run is by adding in the autoexec.cfg in the CFG folder, you'd want to put inside that autoexec.cfg the following below.

exec <filename> eg.
Example: exec workshop.lua

Cool, okay then. Thanks for the guide.

That depends really on the game itself with limit, but i dont really think there is a real limit due to a friend of mine using it and he has loads of addons.

That's amazing! But wait, is there a limit to how many addons can be pasted into the note for the game to run and download?

Exactly right.

Wait, so this makes it so that whenever people join your server, they will automatically download the addons you've pasted, so that they now have the addons and don't need to redownload them for the next time they join?
