Gmod is not unpacking and mounting bz2 files client side.

[SkyIsGreen]

As the title says.

My server sends the content in .bz2 format, but Gmod isn't unpacking or mounting it?

Very weird... Is their a command I need to use for the server to do this for the client or...

I don't even know.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is unpacking them, but they're not being mounted by the client if that makes sense.

All the content needed to use the the addon is within garrysmod/download

But it is not being used when someone joins my server.

Can anyone help me out here? =l

What you are saying doesn't make sense. Please be specific.
.bz2 is only if you are using FastDL, FastDL should contain maps, materials, models, etc. Not the addons or cfg folders.

Ah, sorry about that, Yes, that's what it contains.

My fastDL contains the materials, models, sound and maps folders.

The maps are downloading and working fine. however when I want a client joining my server to have a specific addon (Which would have been unpacked and placed in the according files.) Said client downloads the content, but for some reason cannot actually use them on my server.

I.e

I have just joined my server that has a weapon pack that I don't have.

The FastDL downloads all the required files to make that pack work.

However, upon downloading the file, entering the server, and choosing a weapon from said weapon pack, it's as if I haven't downloaded anything. The weapon pack does not work.

The FastDL is working and downloading actual content into the /garrysmod/download folder.

However, Garrys Mod isn't using the content when playing on my server.

I've tried closing Gmod after the download and re-entering the server, but that doesn't work either.

Also, once the content has downloaded, it does not re-download unless I go in to garrysmod/download and delete it myself.

Any help would be grateful because I've got no idea what the problem is here...

Can I see your resources.lua and server.cfg? My maps are not being removed from the bz2 archive and mounting after downloading from my fastDL server and I would like to see if there are any inconsistencies.
