Addon Won't Show

Steps to take if your addon will not display in-game.

▸Verify Install

Verify that you've followed the instructions on the Install page. Ensure that this includes both a good installation of rlib AND the addon itself. You can also follow the steps on the Verify page to ensure that both of these are functioning properly.

▸Revert Config Changes

If you have made changes to the configuration and cannot get the addon to show; revert those changes. Try installing a fresh copy of the addon without any changes to determine if the changes to the config are to blame or if you are having issues elsewhere.

▸Use Latest Versions

Ensure that you are using the latest version of both rlib AND the addon you are trying to install. Gmodstore allows developers to post multiple versions of an addon, and sometimes customers can accidentally click if downloading the addon from the Versions tab. Double-check your installed version.

▸Check For Incompatible Addons

From time to time; certain addons from the Steam Workshop may conflict with purchased addons from Gmodstore.

Ensure you follow these instructions. If you submit a ticket about the addon not showing up and it properly being installed; this will be the first process the developer makes you go through.

To eliminate the possibility of a Steam Workshop addon breaking this addon; please complete the following:

  • Open your server's Hosting Control Panel (gmc, crident, etc).

  • Locate the Startup Parameters section.

  • REMOVE the steam workshop collection id associated to the server

  • Save your server settings with workshop id removed

  • Restart the server and then join

  • Check to see if the addon now works

If you removed the workshop collection and your addon does NOT work; Submit a Ticket to the developer.

If you removed the workshop collection and your addon now works; you will need to use Process of Elimination to figure out which addon is causing a conflict.
