Ah ok. Thank you

Some addons contain code which forces them to be downloaded independent of the gamemode. There's no way of disabling that.

It seems like this addon is still downloading addons from other game modes despite me setting it up (ie: ttt2 addons when I set them to be ttt2 only). Did I miss something?

It can't at the moment. It might be possible to implement that though

Can this addon import presets from the addons menu in game or no?
Psychotrickser  [author] 19 Feb @ 4:56am 
That's not possible unfortunately. Workshop collections can't be modified through code within Gmod

Would it be possible to impellent a feature, that creates a workshop-collection?

For some reason the automatic gamemode download doesn't always work for everyone, which is why it's safer to add the gamemode itself to its download tab.
My experience shows that this still doesn't fix it entirely. It might be worth a try to make this addon add each of a gamemode's models separately to the downloads. This would definitely increase joining times but might fix the missing models.
As of right now players should download the gamemodes manually.

Should i whitelist gamemodes then from the manager as i was playing on the IRIS Hidden gamemode and it didn't download the models correctly for some reason but it was enabled in the manager might have just been the way the workshop was downloading which was strange as when they manually downloaded the addon it worked correctly. so strange.

@Applez123 That shouldn't be necessary. All installed gamemodes, file mounted as well as those in the server collection, are detected automatically. Is it not working for you?

By default maps aren't displayed since Gmod itself forces players to download the currently active map and gamemode automatically.

If you import a collection it will grab all addons.

You'll still need one big collection including all your addons to have them installed on the server. Only the part where the server makes a joining player download the stuff is managed with this addon.

Just wondering - is this adding only the current map played to WorkshopDL, or is it grabbing all addons if I provide it a collection? My workflow currently uses collections to manage gamemodes, so I can have a base pack and then I add sub-collections for specific gamemodes.

The latter part is apparently possible with this addon but I have yet to see it by myself.

hello, if your still alive, how would i add a custom gamemode to the list of gamemodes in the menu?
Psychotrickser  [author] 20 Jul, 2024 @ 11:46pm 
In theory yes.
It should be noted that downloads from server to client are slower and can impact performance (i.e. lag)
I'll add that feature within the next week

Is it possible to set up files instead of addons? (like audio files for taunt in prop hunt)
Psychotrickser  [author] 7 Jun, 2024 @ 10:53pm 
I'm aware of that issue. There seems to be a very small amount of maps that force clients to download all server addons. So far I've encountered one. Currently there's no way to prevent that apart from having those maps (or gamemodes) fixed by the authors.

Also, it's not possible to disable certain addons from within the game. That would require an external program. I recommend contacting the pointshop's author and asking him to add a gamemode blacklist.

W addon, Exactly what we needed

Addon updated. Check out the new GUI

You're welcome. I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I do myself :D
