Adding workshop addons

[Zangrande]

Using the method prescribed through this forum to download addons from the workshop, i'm having some trouble installing ALL the addons. It seems as if only the first few install to my server. I believe it's only the first 5 addons. The directory for it is /garrysmod/workshop.vdf
http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =65&t=8320 <- Method I used

My code:

Is the server taking a long time (>5 minutes) to download the addons and as a result being restarted remotely due to its not responding?

I'm new to dedicated server hosting, so I don't know if I'm doing this right. I simply restart the server. I assumed that this would download them. Is this correct?
Thanks for the quick response time

In this case, yes restarting the server after making those changes would prompt them to download. You may also want to try rotating in others for the first five to see if there is just a cap of five or if it is just getting stuck.

Also are any of these addons bigger then 64MB? The note at the bottom of the wiki page says:

Code: Select all

There's a bug where the system can't download files over 64MB, Garry is aware and trying to fix it.

I would assume that the gun pack and WAV vehicle pack MIGHT be bigger than that, but I know all the other ones are not above the limit. I'm going to try rotating them. I'll post results

[Zangrande]

I made a new one. How strange. Only the first one worked, which was on the original five from my first workshop.vdf. All these addons are smaller than the limit BTW.

Code: Select all

"addons"

	"1"		"108424005"	// keypad + cracker

}

You might try changing the order, or removing the comments. Do the logs give you clues, as well?

[Zangrande]

I removed the comments, that didn't work. Then I tried rearranging them, which only left me with 4/10 addons working. Checking logs now

[Zangrande]

I guess i'm just going to install the addons via a .gma extractor, and wait for Garry to hopefully fix this. I assume this is not NFO's fault, as I have seen others with the same problem.

[mr gunny]

I am having the same issue too, but my server isnt installing any of the addons at all. I tried the Workshop.vtf Tut. and directly downloading the addons to the addon folde(also a failure). I am new to this site and not familiar with the setup. May i get some help?

Your problem is it should be .vdf and not vtf.

@Zangrande

Found your problem.

Remove line 6 and 23 and try it again.
Should load right up.
Those 2 addons are bugged and the developer will have to fix them.

I will post a tutorial on how to debug and maybe the guys can pretty it up for the knowledgebase.
