Workshop Download Script

Is there a way to check what addon is it actually adding? I'm getting big download size and just wonder what workshop addon could possibly be added by this mod that makes the download this large.

The base game always adds the current map, if its a workshop one, to the client download list. It would either be a game bug or steam. I have seen it a lot with certain maps, then it will suddenly fix itself.

It doesnt download new stuff that I add to the server :(

It works for me, but I had some problems with players disconnect after downloading all oher stuff due to map missing. Don´t know if this is a WSDL problem. In general: Is there a bes pratice for load order? For this addon, maps and other stuff?

i use this instead add-on share because this just works better even tho its made for server operators and not your everyday play with your friends P2P thing

Dejtriyev read description brah are u mentally disabled "READ THIS: This addon is a tool for server operators. It is not useful for normal players. Do not complain about it not doing anything exciting."
Dejtriyev 25 Mar, 2023 @ 6:53am 
did this also stopped working like others because my when my friends join they don't have almost every addon server has

@Lagosa your wsdl_cache.txt is empty or corrupt, I will post an update to fix the error.
storm37000  [author] 19 Mar, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
the function isn't called on clients, its called on the server once on start so it cant differentiate based on ranks. The player would have to disable workshop downloads in options/multiplayer menu or you'd have to use an ingame download like outfitter does.

Hey Storm, hope you're doing well these days.

Do you think it would be feasible to rework your script to do the inverse, and not force any resource.AddWorkshop() functions to be called on guests? I'm not asking you to do it, I just want to know if you think it would be possible, our devs at darkstorm I'm sure could figure it out if you think its possible.

got a lua error pop up randomly that caused the addon to stop working

lua/autorun/server/wsdl.lua:63: attempt to index local 'filecache' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/autorun/server/wsdl.lua:63

no idea whats causing it

the server will automatically tell your game to download the map from the workshop as long as the server is using the workshop to load it.
Lambda 2 Jan, 2023 @ 6:32am 
is there a way to have this download the current server map?
storm37000  [author] 1 Aug, 2022 @ 6:55pm 
@Skullerz this doesnt read the collection directly, your server does, the addon wont exist on the server if removed from the collection then this addon will sense a change in the addons list and regenerate it.
Skullerz 28 Jul, 2022 @ 3:46pm 
If you remove an addon from the collection will WSDL remove it from the dedicated server? If not how do you remove addons.

this is so underrated, addon share only downloads addons containing models and the last time someone actually commented was one of the authors on december 20th 2021 (jesus christ) this addon actually downloads everything and its awesome
storm37000  [author] 20 Dec, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
If the steam workshop servers have any issues it wont work.
coolninjas1999 18 Dec, 2021 @ 5:15pm 
was working fine this morning for me, then later suddenly started not working for no reason

The best download script for gmod hands down. Barely had any problems using it.
Monkedude 18 Jun, 2021 @ 12:12pm 
For me this is better than Ultimate Workshop Downloader
Niterux 9 Mar, 2021 @ 7:35pm 
Honestly, better than Ultimate Workshop Downloader. Has less bugs and is generally more polished. Plus, it seems to have my players able to actually join the game faster, 10/10.
Hodain 18 Feb, 2021 @ 4:18pm 
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place. When I first made my server all of the custom player models would be downloaded and not show up as errors. But now on the second day when I add custom player models to my server collection they show up as errors. Would be able to point me in the right direction? It seems that all other new mods loaded fine. Thank you for the help and the mod!
storm37000  [author] 15 Jan, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
everything auto mounts as they join the first time. It scans all addons on the server, and only sends the clients ones that have content they need.
Charlie 14 Jan, 2021 @ 3:13pm 
Are there any exceptions to what this can download? I know that it can't do maps, but are there any particular mods that don't work with this, or does it work with everything except for maps? Does it also auto-mount or do the players have to rejoin? Thanks
storm37000  [author] 27 Nov, 2020 @ 1:46pm 
it does by default.
Vandanna 27 Nov, 2020 @ 9:30am 
Any way to exclude maps?
storm37000  [author] 23 Aug, 2020 @ 10:17pm 
this one is maintained, that one hasnt been updated since 2016. This one is also much more advanced and smarter, making sure that the people joining your game/server dont download any more than they need so that they can join quicker but be able to see all the custom content.

What's the difference between this addon and this addon: https://test-steamproxy.haloskins.io/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626604673
storm37000  [author] 16 Jun, 2020 @ 5:25pm 
the original creator said he lost interest in gmod so im taking this over from him. You can see this statement on the closed PR on github.
Quambas 3 Jun, 2020 @ 12:01am 
y hasn't this been updated since 2015
>KB> >KEKSQUAD 3 Jan, 2020 @ 4:05am 
Does this ignore linked collections?
Trobby 11 Jul, 2019 @ 1:06am

Dornek 10 May, 2019 @ 11:48am

Once booted server, it says unknown filetype for a bunch of .oog files and other, from current tests, it prevents my server from loading further
Cheezbrgr 22 Dec, 2018 @ 11:44am 
This needs to be forced on every server. Honestly.
Eddiacedo 12 Nov, 2018 @ 6:58am 
I like you :bloody::3arc::quick::speedcola:
KOBEbebe 12 Oct, 2018 @ 1:34am

Strider 11 Aug, 2018 @ 4:12pm

storm37000  [author] 10 Jul, 2018 @ 4:23pm

THIS ADDON IS FOR PEOPLE WHO MAKE SERVERS IF YOU HAVE THIS ENABLED ON YOUR SERVER PEOPLE WHO JOIN YOUR SERVER DOWNLOAD THE ADDONS MATERIALS AND MODELS
TallyhoJrIV 17 Dec, 2017 @ 11:18am 
This doesn't seem to work for me for some reason, I downloaded this and I still see errors (this didn't happen before though, it may be a bug).
Joker 16 Dec, 2017 @ 11:16am 
So THIS is how some servers have made me not see errors. Cool.
Erick Santos 28 Nov, 2017 @ 1:45pm 
how to use it?
PlumCasualties 22 Nov, 2017 @ 6:02pm 
Love this addon <3
