Steam – Garry’s mod: place addons in subfolder

garrys-modmodssteam-workshop

I am trying to organize my addons a little, because I don't know what's what anymore. I would like to place weapons in a weapons subfolder for example, having them all in different subfolders (e.g. a folder for lightsabers, a folder for shrink gun, …) by using GMAD extractor and then placing them inside of this "weapons folder", as shown in the image below.

I tried doing this by adding an autorun lua file in my "weapons" subfolder and just loading all other autoruns inside the separate folders (lightsabers, shrink gun, …), but this isn't working. This is my "autorun" code:

include "weapons/lightsabers/lua/autorun/rb655_lightsaber.lua"
include "weapons/lightsabers/lua/autorun/rb655_lightsaber_presets.lua"

Any ideas on how I can organize my addons the way I want them to be organized?

The documentation for the include function reveals that (since it's a function in Lua) the path names must be enclosed by parentheses.

Therefore, your code should look something like this.

include("weapons/lightsabers/lua/autorun/rb655_lightsaber.lua")
include("weapons/lightsabers/lua/autorun/rb655_lightsaber_presets.lua")

Garry’s Mod Gamemode Without Weapons

Maybe I found something around (and your idea is awesome, actually)

In your GMOD installation you should see a folder like this: lua/autorun/server/

Create your LUA script (noguns.lua) with a text editor and paste this in:

function StripAndGive(ply) 
    ply:StripWeapons() 
    ply:Give("weapon_physcannon") 
    ply:Give("weapon_gravgun") 
    ply:Give("gmod_toolgun") 
    return true 
end 
hook.Add("PlayerLoadout", "StripAndGive", StripAndGive)

After you save the script, move it in the above folder. The source is this thread and it's 4 years old. So this may not be working properly (or at all) but comes with a nice scripting guide.

Why Won’t Garry’s Mod Load the Addons

This seems to happen whenever the Steam workshop goes down. The only solutions I know of are either switch to offline mode or wait for it to come back online.
