If your server is running a map that is also in the server's collection (by .bsp name), the map will be automatically marked for download by clients, just like <page>resource.AddWorkshop</page> does.⤶ ⤶ ⤶ # Create collection⤶ First of all [create a collection and find your collection ID](http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=4000&section=collections). Do note that your collection needs to be public or unlisted, else, srcds won't be able to access it! # Applying the command-line parameter Append the following parameter to the server startup command-line: ``` ⤶ +host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID +host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID ``` An example could be: ``` ⤶ +host_workshop_collection 123456789 +host_workshop_collection 123456789 ``` # Example The example below starts a dedicated server with 20 player slots. It downloads or updates all of the addons in collection [157384458](http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=157384458). This collection includes the Zombie Survival gamemode and a few maps. It sets the gamemode to zombiesurvival and loads one of the downloaded maps. ``` ⤶ srcds.exe +maxplayers 20 -console +host_workshop_collection 157384458 +gamemode zombiesurvival +map zs_cleanoffice_v2 srcds.exe +maxplayers 20 -console +host_workshop_collection 157384458 +gamemode zombiesurvival +map zs_cleanoffice_v2 ``` Every time you restart your server it will check that these addons are all up to date. ⤶ ⤶ # Still Confused?
