This is a steam workshop linking addon for garry's mod. This module automatically retrieves the workshop package id's and broadcasts them to the users for further download, saving hours of work digging through the fileids on the steam website.

No need to specify what items you added to your collection. Just head over to the steamworkshop site, create your collection, grab the id of your collection and add the items to your collection. Done.

Explain?

GMOD Server owners must upload their addons & use the steamworkshop for ingame content management. To specifiy the garrys mod content in your game servers you need to specify the fileid's one by one in a lua file

So it would look something like this:
workshop.lua

resource.AddWorkshop( 12343414 ) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 456745674 ) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 574567) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 234524327) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 44567457) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 356956745 ) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 9689367 ) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 4456884577 ) 
resource.AddWorkshop( 24773568456 ) 
-- ... and so on

With the help of the published addon. This is over! No longer should be an issue!
Create a collection, put your items into your collection on the steam workshop website. Get the collection id, configure as described and profit. :)
