How to use Garry's Mod launch command?

A Garry's Mod server starts with srcds_run (Linux) or srcds.exe (Windows) and parameters: -game garrysmod, +map, +gamemode, +maxplayers… This tool assembles the correct line, one parameter per line.

  1. Pick Linux or Windows, the map (e.g. gm_construct), the gamemode (e.g. sandbox) and the slot count.

  2. Set the port if you do not use 27015, and the numeric ID of your Workshop collection (optional).

  3. Paste your GSLT token (created at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers with AppID 4000).

  4. Download the script, put it in the server root (next to srcds_run), make it executable (chmod +x) and run it. On Windows, rename it to .bat.
