• How do I get access to the addon files that are connected to my server via steam
    8 replies, posted
I have a steam collection that I have connected to my server. Some of the addons tell you to go to the bank_settings.lua for example, but when I go to the addons folder that is in my servers file explorer it only shows the ones that are downloaded from the server hosting company. How do I get access to the addon files that are from the steam collection
Have you setup FastDL on your server for the collection?
What I mean is I don't know how to get access to the addon files from the collection. I have them installed on the server with FastDL and I can use them but some of them I want to tweak to fit what I know
I figured that's what you meant. If it's only a couple of addons you want to edit then you should decompile them with gmad.exe, edit them, then transfer the newly edited addon folder to your server with FTP. Which is what I said above. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=431638110
FastDL would imply that they AREN'T GMA files anymore, they'd already be extracted into their relevant directories. Something tells me you haven't setup FastDL if you don't know where your files are. Your addon files will be in garrysmod/addons on your server.
resource.AddWorkshop It only forces the client to download that workshop item it doesn't transfer the file to your server. So with FastDL setup you would still need to transfer edited addons to the server's addons folder.
Using resource.AddWorkshop != FastDL. FastDL means you have a web server setup that serves the necessary files to the player when they connect without using the workshop. Using the workshop is just called a host workshop collection.
It seems like we're more or less talking about the same thing there are just two ways of doing it: Fast download setup [FastDL]
