Download ONLY the subscribed files.

[Jesstapher]

This is kind of an odd one but is there anyway to download JUST the files that it's supposed to download when you subscribe to something. For example, Say theres a GMOD addon. I decide to click subscribe. Yeah I have the file in my game files but what if i just want to download the file without it installing into the game files?

I should probably add that im referring to things in the steam community workshop.

Then I'd probably use SteamCMD. That's what I do if I host a server and need the Steam Workshop files for that. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Windows

For example, if you wanted to download this Workshop item (to use a game from your library as an example): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1162103281

Garry's Mod's APP-ID is 4000 as shown here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/4000
The workshop item ID is written in its URL as well, which in this case is 1162103281

Thus the commands would be,

login %accountname% %password%
%SteamGuard Code%
force_install_dir "%Installation Path%"
workshop_download_item 4000 1162103281
exit

Some content can be downloaded with login anonymous, and doesn't thus require you to sign in.

Does this occur on both with your Steam login and anonymous login?

(And just so we're clear, replace the %Stuff% with the actual stuff, don't include the %%s)

I'm trying to download this one thing from brick Rigs. Could it be that I need the actual game? I don't have the game but my friend is trying to figure out how to do it so :P

That's highly probable actually.

You could try to download some other (small) Workshop item from some other title that you own to confirm that your code should be correct.

Yeah just tested it with the Garry's mod addon you used as an example. It worked for that one but not the brick rigs one. I'll let my buddy know. Thanks for the help
