Troubleshooting
Addons published to Workshop still may contain bugged/missing models or textures, may be split in several addons (like GBombs and GBombs: Textures), may use mounted content (like PropHunt popular maps), etc. If your problem can't be solved by telling your friends to subscribe/unsubscribe something on Workshop - this addon won't help either, don't post here. Otherwise try using addonshare_manual console command.

Please, read "known issues" tab in desctiption before posting

This is really picky. But enabled addons should appear as green puzzle pieces, and disabled ones should be gray.

I'm getting the same issue. The errors are as follows:

[Addon Share] lua/autorun/client/cl_addon_share.lua:54: attempt to get length of global 'AS_AddonsTable' (a nil value)
1. func - lua/autorun/client/cl_addon_share.lua:54
2. FillViaFunction - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/spawnmenu/controlpanel.lua:100
3. FillViaTable - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/spawnmenu/controlpanel.lua:89
4. ActivateTool - lua/includes/modules/spawnmenu.lua:287
5. DoClick - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/spawnmenu/toolpanel.lua:73
6. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:232

The errors are as follows...
Well, i had to initialize that table from the beginning, but anyway that happened because server didn't sent you list of his addon (not installed on server i guess).
Can you tell me, if you was playing on someone's server, or on yours? Had you and host addon share installed?

I personally always get this error when I'M hosting the server, in this case, a singleplayer server, and this error occurs when i press the "Load Config" button inside the options, and so i can't load any of my configs, also i don't think they really get saved either, here's the error:


[Third Person Flashlight] lua/autorun/client/tpf_cl.lua:187: attempt to call method 'SetFiles' (a nil value)
1. OpenTPFLoadFileDialog - lua/autorun/client/tpf_cl.lua:187
2. DoClick - lua/autorun/client/tpf_cl.lua:511
3. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:232

But how is that related to Addon Share? I don't get it
Legacy addon mounting. Will it work?

I haven't tested it yet with someone else hosting, but I got that error when I was hosting my own peer-to-peer server.

I've got this error once in singleplayer, but when i restarted game, it gone. If you still have errors, maybe i should join your game and debug them

If you mean ingame mounting/unmounting, that's cannot be done with lua, i'm sorry

I have the same error:
[Lazaruz|2|STEAM_0:0:44860563] Lua Error: [Addon Share] lua/autorun/client/cl_addon_share.lua:61: attempt to index field 'tags' (a nil value) 1. func - lua/autorun/client/cl_addon_share.lua:61 2. FillViaFunction - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/spawnmenu/controlpanel.lua:100 3. FillViaTable - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/spawnmenu/controlpanel.lua:89 4. ActivateTool - lua/includes/modules/spawnmenu.lua:287 5. DoClick - gamemodes/sandbox/gamemode/spawnmenu/toolpanel.lua:73 6. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:232

It's installed on the server as well as my client.
The server is a rented server running on linux, if that helps.

Add me if you want to use the server for debug.

Oddly enough, when I tried hosting to a friend, the addon served its purpose just fine. However, trying to open the menu under Utilities still came with the same error.
Otherwise, the addon works perfectly.
