Somewhere about a day ago I suddenly started having issues with lua files being downloaded clientside. When you join the server, you download everything fine. When you actually arrive, the gamemode appears as either sandbox or base (depending on which is derived by the gamemode). In the console, you get tons of errors about files missing, along with this:
[CODE]

The dedicated server I use hosts two servers. Both are roleplay, but use different gamemodes. One is still in beta and hasn't even been touched for a few days while the script is fixed clientside. When it was first booted everything was downloaded fine, but now it doesn't even after not being restarted. Fast downloaded was disabled, but that wasn't the issue apparently. In fact this is basically the same issue as this thread that was never resolved:

Any help is appreciated. I can't think of any more ideas to what it can be.
Bump... Still can't seem to find what's causing it :/
Bump, again..
Bump ...
Try to remove the "cache" and "downloads" folders inside /garrysmod, or make a clean install of Garry's Mod.
Yeah, I tried that. We figured out what's going on recently, but we don't know why. If you join any server, when you download the dua files you see they're basically a copy of the lua script that was downloaded. When you join our server you download a strange HTML file instead in a dua file. The duas on the server are fine though, and in fact if I copied the cache folder from the server into my gmod directory, I can join fine. The only thing about this is it's going to be hard to get players to constantly re-download a folder every time a small portion of the script is updated.
