Garry's Mod: addons, collection, gamemode

How to add Workshop addons, where they are stored and how to change the gamemode.

Workshop addons

  1. In Steam, create a Workshop collection and add the addons to it.
  2. "Startup" → Workshop ID: the collection ID (the number from its link).
  3. Restart. Players download the addons when they join.

Addons downloaded from the Workshop are stored not in garrysmod/addons but in the garrysmod/cache cache. To remove them all, clear the Workshop ID and delete the contents of garrysmod/cache.

Manually uploaded addons (folders or .gma) go into garrysmod/addons.

Gamemode and map

"Startup" → Gamemode (sandbox, darkrp, terrortown…) and Map (gm_construct…). DarkRP and similar gamemodes must first be uploaded to garrysmod/gamemodes.

Admin

Out of the box garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg has no groups: install ULX + ULib from the Workshop, then run ulx adduser Name superadmin in the panel console.
