How to Organize Addons/Spawnlist
Hello. I want to make a separate spawnlist or create folders to drag addons in.
Since I have a TON of addons are they are all over the place, I try to make a new category (that works), rename it to whatever I want (Cars, Props, Ragdolls, etc.), but when I copy to clipboard, what do I do? I also tried to drag an addon into another folder/category but doesn't work.

I tried to go into the actual game files and make a folder and drag addon from there, but nothing happens.

Anyone know some tricks on organizing your addons by creating folders?

Created a thread about organizing all these addons, yet to no avail.

There doesn't seem to be any decent solution.

I wish it were more discussed. Perhaps you have to own your own server?

I have a strong, yet unfortunate feeling that if such a seemingly simple task is unknown by many, we may not be able to do this. I've wanted to do this, also, and could never figure it out.

I finally found out! You create a spawnlist by right clicking on the area where the lists are and click new spawnlist. You then find what you want to put into that spawnlist, lets say a laser gun. You go to where the "laser gun" is located and click and hold, then drag it over the word, spawnlist on the top right. Finally, hover over the new list you created, and then put it in the area which the items are in a normal list. BINGO! Then just hit save, it worked like a charm for me

In the list of Category, at bottom, there is a square with dots, click that and select "Create New", set the name, and then the icon. You's new spawn-list category has been make. Browse through to the props you want in you's spawn-list, select the props you wants with left-click, then hold right-click and drag selected items to you's new category. (The category changes to when have mouse over for 1 seconds) then release left mouse button and select "Copy..."
The spawn-list can also contain weapon, entitiy, vehicles...


Once you has customise you's spawn-list to how you wants, remember to click "Save Setup" in top left corner, below the search.

Sorry for bad englishes and reply to a thread that has last post over 1 years ago.

Thank you so much for that! I previously made a custom spawn list before and completely assumed it auto-saved, now I know better! XD
