Addon Share

Description
Makes your friends to download same Workshop addons that you have, while they join your game. Significantly reduces amount of "error" models. Displays your subscriptions in Q-menu with links to Workshop.

Limitations
• Legacy addons are not supported
• Mounted content could not be supported
• Addons will be added to auto download only if they contain models. For others use addonshare_manual command (desc below, but only if you really need)

Answers to frequently asked questions
• Addons are downloaded to garrysmod\cache\workshop temporarily. The game may remove them within a few weeks after being unused.

More detailed description
Addon Share uses game's serverside functions, which forces players to cache addons on connecting, but does not require configuruing. Instead of messing with settings and scripts, it automatically picks only required minimum of addons when you host a multiplayer game. It uses addon tags and metadata from Workshop to pick only addons that have models, except disabled or tagged as "map". In addition, list of your subscriptions is provided in spawnmenu options with links to their Workshop pages, so your visitors may subscribe to favored addons.

Configuration
Addon Share's behavior can be customized with next commands;
addonshare_auto [0/1]- Should 'Addon Share' automatically pick addons to download? If set to 0, only list of addons will be available.
addonshare_manual [id] - Specify extra addon to be downloaded by client. Put one or several commands in your config file (e.g. 'cfg/server.cfg'). You don't need to spam this command, it is implemented for rare causes, like when developer puts textures in a separate addon (what is not welcome by ToS). For example, if i'd like to manually add Wiremod, i browse its page at https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=160250458 and take number from 'id' labeled field. Final command will look like addonshare_manual 160250458.
addonshare_send_maps - Toggles displaying hoster's maps in addons list. Does not send list entries about map addons by default.


Known issues
If you discovered a new issue, please post it in "Troubleshooting" topic.

Some of your guests may not download addons on joining automatically. This is often due to bad connection to Steam Workshop. You might recommend them to follow next steps:
1. Check if you have "Options - Other - Allow all custom files from server" drop list option selected
2. Try to re-launch the game and connect again
3. Try to re-launch Steam
Does not pick addons when running on dedicated server, downloads whole collection instead
This may be not behaviour you expect when running your dedicated server with several map addons. WSDL script will better fit this purpose since it scans each addon's content individually and compares file extensions

Do NOT download the addon, The addon broke my friends game, we were unable to play multiplayer for days because it would keep disconnect him,and finds out it was just the addon being super buggy and broken.
