Workshop addons not showing up in addons folder...

[SNEXUS]

I'm not sure when exactly the issue started, but for the past month or so, I've noticed that every time I subscribe to a new addon, it doesn't show up in my Gmod addons folder.

Usually, the addons would be found in a directory like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons"

I know for a fact that I have almost damn near 1000+ addons worth of glorious Gmod maps, props, weapons, etc. and yet, there's nothing inside my addons folder.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gmod to see if it work; still nothing.

Did anyone else have this issue, or is it just me?

I have the issue and I am yet to find a fix...

[SonOfOdin]

I have it too, If you find a fix please let me know

[(:( Shanti ):)]

I fixed it by reinstalling Garry's Mod. Hope this helps anyone who comes across this post.

I'll spare anyone in this thread from having to watch that video.
The files may be located in your steam directory in an area like this:
steamapps\workshop\content\4000
(4000 being the app id for garry's mod)

If you can't find the folder, right click on Garry's Mod in your steam library > Manage > Browse local files. Then go up in the file structure until you reach steamapps and work your way down to the 4000 folder.

All the addons will be in folders that match their workshop ID.
The files may also have very strange names like "new_item_via_crowbar.gma" or "temp.gma"

In order to find which .gma belongs to the addon you're looking for, you'll need to get the addon's ID number from it's Workshop page.

Here's an example of the addon I was trying to find:
(I broke this link on purpose so it won't embed)
steaommuniy. co/ sharedfiles/ filedetails/? id=2848654497

The weirdly named file in the folder whose name matches the string of numbers at the end of the workshop URL is the .gma you're looking for.

i have a solution in the case that you can only find a .bin file in the future. Unpack the .bin file using something like 7zip and then add .gma at the end of the unpacked file name, This should turn it into a GMA file
