Force Clients updating material/models from workshop/server file

[TheBroomer]

Hey everyone,

I created an item a couple of month ago and just wanted to modify the textures, to make them look more polished. Everything worked fine and if everyone is just suscribing the addon it works well. The problem is, that people, who didn't suscribed and downloaded the item before won't get the updated textures because the server isn't forcing them to redownload the files. Is there any possibility to do so?

resource.AddWorkshop should help

No, you are not supposed to update files like that. Either sure only workshop, or change the file names in new versions.

Yes I know, I should only add resources via resource.AddWorkshop from now on. But i already forced my suscribers to download the game files via resource.AddFile. So is there no possibility to force a delete or something like that?

@Rubat : Of course changing names would be a solution, but I thought maybe there is another way.

But thank you anyways guys
