[Multi-Gamemode] Manager for Server-to-Client Downloads

In 1 collection by Psychotrickser
Gmod - All Gamemodes and Addons for a multi-gamemode server
377 items
Description
Are you running a multi-gamemode server with tons of gamemodes and annoyingly huge download times? This addon might help you out. It's the best and easiest setup addon for multi-gamemode servers!
Confused? Try Chat Command !sdm

It allows for setting up gamemode specific workshop addons which are downloaded automatically by all players joining the server. The initial setup is very easy as this addon provides a fully functional GUI!

Example:
You're running a server with TTT and Murder. While the server is running TTT all players who join the server will only download the content that is needed for that gamemode. After switching to Murder, the server makes the players not download the TTT stuff but instead the Murder addons now. Additionally there's the option to add general addons that aren't gamemode-specific and will be downloaded independent of the active gamemode.
This system drastically cuts joining times to less than a minute even on big servers with more than 50 gamemodes.

Features:
+ Set up addons to be downloaded automatically by all players when a specific gamemode is loaded
+ Import entire Workshop Collections in a single click!
+ Easy setup
+ Use Chat command !sdm (Server Download Manager) to open up the GUI for easy configuration

Ah ok. Thank you

Some addons contain code which forces them to be downloaded independent of the gamemode. There's no way of disabling that.

It seems like this addon is still downloading addons from other game modes despite me setting it up (ie: ttt2 addons when I set them to be ttt2 only). Did I miss something?
Psychotrickser  [author] May 8 @ 11:44am 
It can't at the moment. It might be possible to implement that though

Can this addon import presets from the addons menu in game or no?
Psychotrickser  [author] Feb 19 @ 4:56am 
That's not possible unfortunately. Workshop collections can't be modified through code within Gmod

Would it be possible to impellent a feature, that creates a workshop-collection?

For some reason the automatic gamemode download doesn't always work for everyone, which is why it's safer to add the gamemode itself to its download tab.
My experience shows that this still doesn't fix it entirely. It might be worth a try to make this addon add each of a gamemode's models separately to the downloads. This would definitely increase joining times but might fix the missing models.
As of right now players should download the gamemodes manually.

Should i whitelist gamemodes then from the manager as i was playing on the IRIS Hidden gamemode and it didn't download the models correctly for some reason but it was enabled in the manager might have just been the way the workshop was downloading which was strange as when they manually downloaded the addon it worked correctly. so strange.

@Applez123 That shouldn't be necessary. All installed gamemodes, file mounted as well as those in the server collection, are detected automatically. Is it not working for you?
