Auto-Workshop Adder: Never type AddWorkshop again!

With the Auto-Workshop Adder, you never have to do that again! Simply follow these easy setup instructions and you'll be able to get your workshop downloads set up in seconds! This was created after I was given a list of 90 addons for some darkRP server and was told to set up downloading for all of them. I didn't feel like typing in 90 numbers manually.


Step 1. Add this addon to your workshop collection.
Step 2. Make sure your server has an API Key and a Workshop collection in the launch path for SRCDS.
Step 3. Turn on your server. If some or all of the addons are listed as invalid, do not worry! This is normal due to engine.GetAddons() being rather finicky about the first time addons are located and loaded.
Step 4. After it has fully loaded, shut off your server, and turn it back on again.
Step 5. Players can now join and automatically download the addons from Steam's servers and mount them while joining! Please note this does not bypass player download filter settings. Only they can adjust those.

No more directing players to subscribe to your collection! No more clogging your game with loads of addons you don't ever use! It's a win/win situation for everyone!

Step 1. Shut down the server, and add your new addon(s)
Step 2. Restart the server. The new addons will be marked as invalid, due to a Garry's Mod bug. Shut the server off again, and turn it back on a second time.
Step 3. When the server turns on again, the addon will now be available to players joining!

Q: I restarted the server but the addon is still invalid!
A: Restart a second time, and if the error still persists, try removing the addon from the collection, restarting, re-adding it, then restarting again.
Q: That didn't work!
A: The addon is either off the workshop, or corrupted somehow. It likely isn't functional to begin with. If you can verify this is not the case, leave a comment and I'll try to assist you.
