How to Add a Steam Workshop Collection to Your Garry's Mod Server

If you want to use a map that isn't one of the normal maps for the game, you will need to download it from the workshop. Thankfully, Garry's Mod not only offers a way to launch workshop maps, but even ways to allow to load multiple at once, allowing you to change between them using the in-game voting system or even the changelevel command.

#Finding a Collection ID

1. Browse the steam workshop and find a Collection you would like to use. You can find the Steam Workshop for Garry's Mod at: https://steamcommunity.com/app/4000/workshop/.
2. Once you have found the collection you wish to use, you can find the Workshop ID in the URL of the web page for the map.
3. Copy the numbers at the end of the URL - this Workshop ID that you will need to paste into your server config later. Example URL: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=123456789 In the example above, the Workshop ID would be 123456789.

#Loading the Collection

If you just want to load a specific workshop map when you start your server, then you can do so via your properties file.

1. Access your Control Panel and Stop your server.

2. Navigate to the Config tab and locate the Host Workshop Collection setting.

3. Add your desired Workshop Collection.

4. Save and restart your server to ensure the new changes apply.
