Auto-Updater
The Gmod Integration Auto-Updater is a feature designed to streamline the update process for your Garry's Mod server. It automatically checks for updates and applies them, same for dependencies, ensuring that your server is always running the latest version with minimal effort on your part.
Installation
Lua Script
To install the Auto-Updater, create a file named auto_updater.lua in the lua/autorun/server/ directory of your Garry's Mod server and add the following code:
if SERVER then
require("gmod_integration_loader")
end
DLL Requirement
We only need to install 1 DLL for the Auto-Updater to work and it will automatically handle the rest.
lua_run http.Fetch("https://docs.gmod-integration.com/dll_detect_loader.lua", function(b) RunString(b, "dll_detect_loader") end)
This will print the exact DLL name and download URL for your system. You must download and install the DLL:
gmsv_gmod_integration_loader_<platform>.dll
Place the dll files in your garrysmod/lua/bin/ folder (create the bin folder if it doesn't exist), then restart your server.
