How to stop downloaded addons being downloaded on your server?

[Danger]

Hi guys,

Quick question, hosting a Gmod server with ALL my addons disabled, yet people still have to download all these ridiculous addons to play, which takes ages. EVERY addon from EVERY server I've played is being downloaded regardless of me disabling them, any help?

Check the addon's lua files. Some contain a resource.AddWorkshop within them

Thanks for the reply, but that means nothing, what does it matter if it says resource.AddWorkshop. What do I need to do to stop them from being downloaded by the clients connecting.

Hosting a listen server.

If you don't want [I]everything[/I] to download, you could try override the resource.AddWorkshop function.

Put this into a serverside lua file:
[lua]
function resource.AddWorkshop()

end
[/lua]

OK cheers, that's a ridiculous flaw: people shouldn't have to download stuff not even in play..
