i'm playing with a a few friends on my own ttt server and few of them see error even if they download all workshop items. seems like they didn't or they don't have all files.whatsoever i was thinking of setting up a fastdl server with all addons so hopefully their errors are fixed. is there maybe another solution for this? it's seems like a bit too much

There's another way to go about this. This method forces all clients to download selected addons onto their computer, so they won't see errors anymore.

https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/resource/AddWorkshop

Make a file called workshop.lua in your server'sgarrysmod\lua\autorun\server. I recommend using Notepad++ for this.

Then make a line with the code
Code:
resource.AddWorkshop("<workshopidhere>")
The workshopidhere refers to the workshop addon ID.[Image: 5OxAZR37SKurBvmpCGl3Kg.png]

After that is done and you want to add more, keep adding new lines according to the workshop ID of the addon.
Hope this helped!

hm, also you can use
Code:
resource.AddFile('file place')

it's for single file

Make a content Pack and give it to your friends before you join. I usually download content packs before joining and its usually faster

RE: workshop + fastdl

Either, get them to download your content pack by subscribing to all. Or, get your content pack ID and put it in here: http://www.configcreator.com/create/gmod/resources.lua

This will generate the resource.Addfile(s) for you and even name then. From then on you have to get your authkey and link it.

they will be able to download the addons faster and connect to the server if you do this

Link a workshop collection to your server, you can create one.

RE: workshop + fastdl

#8
did you put all the workshop addons in your collection so you can fastdl all of them

Do they have Counter Strike: Source? Or are you certain it is the workshop items they see ERRORS?
