Question about FastDL - Help

First off, I hope this is in the right place, if not I am very sorry. I looked around and seen people had posted these questions here. None of them answered my question(s). Firstly, is it possible to use Steam Workshop to do FastDL on a Prop Hunt server, and if so, can anyone point me in the direction of a guide. If that one is not possible, can anyone point me to a good guide that is noob friendly on how to setup FastDL on a Prop Hunt server.

I believe you mean [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Workshop_for_Dedicated_Servers"]WorkshopDL[/URL]; [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index70e8.html"]FastDL[/URL] requires a website host.

[QUOTE=SomeNewbie;44060893]With WorkshopDL, is that for Maps only or does it work with models and weapons as well?[/QUOTE] WorkshopDL works with any file on the workshop.

[QUOTE=code_gs;44060958]WorkshopDL works with any file on the workshop.[/QUOTE] Last two questions, the guide does not show how to add them to the pointshop, do you know a guide that shows me how. I know how to add things that have physical location within the server files, but from a collection I am not sure. Last question, is it a good alternative to FastDL?

1. Open the Workshop file using [URL="http://www.treesoft.dk/gmod/gmad/"]GMad[/URL] to find the direct path. 2. WorkshopDL is the only viable alternative to FastDL.

I am sorry to be a bother.

Oops, that page that I posted didn't contain info about resource.AddWorkshop. The collection ID (in the page I linked you) hosts the addon on your server so it can be used on your server. For +host_workshop_collection, you need to have a Steam workshop collection containing all the addons you want to use. To send the files to clients, you have to use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/resource/AddWorkshop"]resource.AddWorkshop[/URL]. As for pointshop, that's when you use GMad to find the direct path to the file you need.

Do I need it in both the server files and the collection, or can I add it to the Pointshop from the collection? I assume you need it in both, but I am not positive.

What that does is download the collection to your server, so it is adding it to your server already.
