Garry's Mod | How to force download of Workshop Addons Print

It's super easy to set up forced download of Workshop Addons for connecting players on your server. Just follow the steps below:

1. Stop server.
2. Click "Configuration Files"
3. Click "Text-Editor" next to garrysmod\lua\autorun\server\workshop.lua
   
4. Identify the mod's Workshop ID, it can be found at the end of the Mod's URL.
   For example, for the Star Wars Lightsabers mod, the URL is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=111412589 so the Mod's workshop ID is 111412589
5. Add the following line to the workshop.lua file:
   resource.AddWorkshop("Workshop ID Number")
Making sure to replace Workshop ID Number with the Mod's actual Workshop ID.
   In our example, that would be:
   resource.AddWorkshop("111412589")
6. Simply repeat steps 4 and 5 for all your server's Workshop Mods.
7. Save the file in the top left.
8. Startup your server.
