Summary
Garry's Mod servers can send workshop file downloads directly to users' clients as they connect. This vastly simplifies the process of installing server-specific mods for individual players. In addition, by setting up automatic server downloads, the server will be much more friendly to newer players unaware of any required files. Despite auto-downloading, however, some textures still may be missing when loading into the game; in this case, simply install any required files manually to ensure no errors take place.
How to Setup Automatic Workshop Downloads on a Garry's Mod Server
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Games panel.
2. Stop the server.
3. Go to the Files tab.
4. Find the following directory: /home/container/garrysmod/lua/autorun/server .
5. Open the workshop.lua file.
6. In a new line, enter the following: resource.AddWorkshop("<WorkshopID>") With the desired workshop IDs.
7. Once finished editing, choose the Save Content button.
8. Start the server. Users will automatically download the designated workshop files when joining the server.
