Server addons don't load? - Garry's Mod

I can't post console logs right now, but basically my server won't load any of the addons in the addons directory. I've looked at the addon.txt and the Lua, and it all looks fine. IIRC, my server does post in the logs that it has loaded the addons, but they are obviously not enabled on my server. Here are my logs: [CODE]Console initialized.

Addon.txt isn't required/used anymore. Just post the logs when you can.

There, I posted the logs. I know Metamod and SourceMod don't work. I just haven't deleted them yet.

The addons are loading fine, minus your ulx_fireworks. [code][AddCSLuaFile] Couldn't find 'effects/ulx_firework/init.lua' (<nowhere>) [AddCSLuaFile] Couldn't find 'effects/ulx_firework/init.lua' (<nowhere>) [AddCSLuaFile] Couldn't find 'effects/ulx_fireworkstem/init.lua' (<nowhere>) [AddCSLuaFile] Couldn't find 'effects/ulx_fireworkstem/init.lua' (<nowhere>)[/code] Seems like they don't exist.

That's just it—they aren't loading fine. Neither RDM nor MapVote have loaded. I hardcoded for_allah into the TTT files, as well as TTT Death Station (I removed it because it wasn't loading). It's strange that ULX and ULib are the only addons loading.

Post the addon structure, because they seem to be loading correctly.

It looks fine, meaning it's an issue with the addons. Can you post the mapvote you're using?

This is the MapVote I'm using right now: [url]https://github.com/tyrantelf/gmod-mapvote[/url] This is an alternative MapVote that I might use: [url]https://github.com/Willox303/gmod-mapvote[/url] This is my RDM manager: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=145459395[/url] [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/32bu2y58f2spzjk/RDM.rar[/url] This is my Jihad bomb: [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=33601[/url] This is my Death Station: [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=134412[/url] The Jihad and the Death Station are hardcoded into TTT right now. Otherwise, the other two don't work. This addon works! [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=162581348[/url] I had to use the Gmad Extractor to get it out of my client files: [url]http://www.treesoft.dk/gmod/gmad/[/url]

Here is the folder structure of the defibrillator addon: [CODE]addons\defibrillator\addon.txt addons\defibrillator\lua addons\defibrillator\materials addons\defibrillator\lua\weapons addons\defibrillator\lua\weapons\weapon_ttt_defib.lua addons\defibrillator\materials\vgui addons\defibrillator\materials\vgui\ttt addons\defibrillator\materials\vgui\ttt\icon_rg_defibrillator.png[/CODE] What are the naming standards behind lua files? Does it just read everything in the lua folder like one big file, or do the files have to have specific names? Also, can servers really just use png files instead of vmts for in-game icons?

In hindsight, I should have posted this thread in Help & Support... sorry moderators. If you want to move it, feel free. But good news! I've been able to fix some of my addons. For RDM, I changed the file structure to: [CODE]addons\RDM\addon.txt addons\RDM\lua addons\RDM\lua\autorun addons\RDM\lua\autorun\rdm.lua[/CODE] Then I took the code from clientgui.lua and servergui.lua and put them in the following if statements (respectively): [CODE]if CLIENT then -- ... end if SERVER then -- ... end[/CODE] Also, I guess I lied when I said I was trying to use: [url]https://github.com/tyrantelf/gmod-mapvote[/url] As my MapVote addon. I was actually using: [url]https://github.com/wiox/gmod-mapvote[/url] When I switched to use the version my TyrantElf, it worked. The other addons that I need to fix are all weapons, so I made a new thread: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1368228[/url] Otherwise, this thread is resolved.

I've had this problem with a server once, no idea what was causing it, though uploading to the garrysmod folder directly helped me.

Sorry to necro, but I'm also having this issue, so if anyone has a suggestion as to how this can be solved I would greatly appreciate it.

[QUOTE=Selkie;44576982]Sorry to necro, but I'm also having this issue, so if anyone has a suggestion as to how this can be solved I would greatly appreciate it.[/QUOTE] This is caused by the lua file limit garry put on the addons folder. upload directly to your garrysmod and it'll work fine

is your host linux and is everything lower case? EDIT --- According to your console logs it looks like it is linux based. please make sure all files and folders are lower case then let us know. Edit again-- Remove any " - " in folder names as well.
