Automatically download models and materials, possibly addons?

[pooky9123]

Hi, I'd like my friends to connect to my server and be able to automatically download missing models, materials, addons, etc for Garry's Mod. Is this possible?

There are lots of models and textures, and I read in |this article| that they needed to be manually entered in a lua script, is there an easier and faster way? Would be cumbersome....

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend NOT having people download addons directly from your server. Instead, maybe zip them all up, and have them download them from your site. This would be a huge burden on your gameserver to do otherwise.
