Garry's Mod uses startup parameters, also known as Command Line Arguments, to configure various settings when a server starts. This can include assigning a Game Server Login Token, or changing which game mode is used by the server. A server owner may want to use a custom startup parameter to enable or disable certain features such as disabling the Steam Workshop or automatic Lua refresh.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| noaddons | Disables the loading of folders located in your server's addons folder. |
| noworkshop | Disables the Steam Workshop integration and prevents workshop addons from being installed on your server. |
| disableluarefresh | Disables the automatic refresh of .lua script files on your server when it is running. |
| nochromium | Disables the Chromium integration if your server is running the Chromium steam beta. |
Adding Custom Startup Parameters
You can add a custom startup parameter by editing your gmod.properties file through the Files > FTP File Access section of your server's control panel.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > FTP File Access.
- Locate the gmod.properties file and click Edit.
- At the bottom of the file, add the desired custom startup parameter and value.
- Click Save and Start your server.
