Workshop Addon Updating. From Garry's Mod. Jump to: navigation, search. This article will teach you how to update and edit your addon in the Workshop. Updating addon files/icon can be done using GMPublisher.exe. Updating the rest, such as title and description is done through Steam Workshop website. To turn add-on updates off entirely, follow these instructions: In Firefox’s location bar, type about:config A warning may be displayed if this is your first time modifying Firefox config. If you wish to continue, click the button. In the Filter text box, type extensions.update.enabled.
Firefox checks for new versions of your installed add-ons once per day, and at other designated times, such as when upgrading to a new version of Firefox. By default, Firefox will check the Mozilla Add-ons Gallery for updates, but individual add-on developers may set their add-ons to check their own websites for updates if they are not hosted with Mozilla.
Each of these checks contains the same information that every web request does: your IP address, browser version, operating system, locale, etc. Mozilla uses this information in aggregate for statistics and usage information, as described in the Mozilla Firefox Privacy Policy.
It is strongly recommended that you do not turn off add-on update checking, as you may miss critical security updates to your installed add-ons. If you only wish to prevent add-on updates from being automatically installed, you may turn that functionality off from within the Add-ons Manager.

If you have a Garry's Mod, or GMod, server, you probably have problems with sending resources from the server to your clients. Your server has dozens of custom-made maps, sounds, textures and models and each one must be sent to the client. By default, the download limit in GMod is capped at 20 Kbps. To work around this issue, you must use the fast download (sv_downloadurl) feature. The fast download method allows the client to download your resources at HTTP speed.
Restart the GMod server to update the cache, which contains all client-side data that the client has to know. Stop the server.
Start the FTP client and connect to your Web host. Use the authentication provided by the Web host to log in. Upload the entire 'garrysmod' folder from your server to your Web host's root. Delete everything from the host except the Materials, Models, Maps, Sounds, Resources, Particles and Addons folders. This method helps you maintain the folder structure.
Go to the 'garrysmod/cfg' folder on your server and locate the 'server.cfg' file. This is the main server configuration file used by GMod. Open the config in any text editor and add these lines at the bottom of the file:
sv_downloadurl 'http://www.MyHost.com/garrysmod/' sv_allowupload '0' sv_allowdownload '0'
Replace 'www.MyHost.com' with the exact URL of the website containing your garrysmod folder.
Save the 'server.cfg' file and close it. Close the FTP client. Start the server. The 'sv_allowupload' and 'sv_allowdownload' settings are now forcing your clients to download resources from the Web host at HTTP speed.
Tips
Update the Web host whenever you add additional resources to your server.
