Find files in Workshop addons!

This tool allows you to search for files in all GMA addons in your game or in your server.
It will browse subscribed as well as auto-downloaded addons!
Addons do not have to be mounted.
On Source dedicated servers, there must be at least 1 player for the search to proceed.
Warning: newly uploaded add-ons are stored outside of the Garry's Mod base folder, so they cannot be accessed from Lua. This means that the lookup will not happen in these add-ons.

Warning: This does not work for newer add-ons that are stored uncompressed in steamapps\workshop\content\4000\ (with the .gma extension), because they are out of reach from the filesystem accessible to Lua.

Type find_file_in_gma in the console and read the instructions!

- A file is contained in a Workshop addon but you do not know which.
- An addon has been removed from the Workshop and you need to find it, maybe to extract it.

find_file_in_gma.scanAddon( gmaName, toLower, maxHeaderSize, tableToFill, isFirst, shouldYield )

return : (table) table with found files, stored as theTable[fileName]=true gmaName : (string) path to .gma file relative to garrysmod/ folder (ignoring mounting) (optional arguments) toLower : (bool) convert filenames to lowercase maxHeaderSize: (number) bytes to read at the beginning of the .gma file tableToFill : (table) if provided, this is the table that will be filled with found files (arguments only for use in a coroutine) isFirst : (bool) true if single GMA or for the first element of a loop, false otherwise shouldYield : (bool) true if using a coroutine, false otherwise
