Then... how will they get the addons that I haven't released without me releasing them?
Also, the list of bricks needed for my builds would be massive.
You should just read the game mode FAQ in Modification Discussion so that you know how they work.

Well, I did read that topic. I just figured that Rotondo was talking about packaging gamemodes with pure defaults seeing as thats all he used as examples, and because I can think if no way a .txt file can grant access to addons only I have, I assumed I needed the contents of those addons in the Gamemode file.
I also took a peek into other Gamemode files as a refference and saw textures and seperate folders with addon contents in them further convincing me.

By what I'm being told, I can just put my addon file names into the Addon list .txt accordingly and that's it?
If so, I am very impressed. If not, I'm missing something important..

Wait.. what exactly does this do?  The description is pretty poor..

no
you have to release those add-ons.

it creates a gamemode based on your current server.

It packages them for you and exports them into the zip file?

yes. well, not to a zip file. that's impossible. it makes a folder that you can zip.

no
you have to release those add-ons.

So, if the addon in released people can get it by the filename?
Is that through RTB or something, or does the player have to manually download those addons themselves?

And before I'm told to go to the Mod Discussion topic about it, nobody answers questions there.
At-least not in a timely manner. Few Hours > Few Days

What
no people have to download the mod. sorry that this is the way gamemodes work
this way people don't need to download mods twice
EX:
mod a uses server_brickspam
mod b user server_brickspam
if user a downloads server_brickspam, neither of them haave to include server_brickspam
if mod a and b include it, that doubles the size. don't do this.

Well then,

Gamemodes just became kinda pointless for me.
Too bad I guess.. Time to compile a list if the 50 addons that I'll need to release and have the player download before they can use my Gamemode then huh?

At that point I should just give away my build for the same effect.
