Cloudbox - The new Toybox!

Description
CLOUDBOX IS IN DEVELOPMENT, EXPECT BUGS
Almost all of the content on Cloudbox is from 2010-2012, scripts may not fully work because of updates. We're actively developing a compatibility layer and releasing improvements often.

Cloudbox - The new Toybox!
Ever miss Toybox? Weren't there to experience it yourself? With over a thousand original Toybox creations available to use, give Cloudbox a try.

What it does
Just like the original Toybox, Cloudbox adds a new tab to your spawn menu where you can easily grab new weapons, entities, etc all without needing to reload the map. On top of that, it works in multiplayer unlike Toybox.

How it works
Versions of Garry's Mod that came with Toybox used to locally save (almost) everything you downloaded. We've taken those cached files and converted them into a new format so they can be downloaded and used again.

How can I (you!) help
Have any old installs of Garry's Mod lying around? If it's from 2010 to 2012, there's a good chance it has valuable cached Toybox creations we can use to revive more of Toybox. Add me on Steam or Discord (@keroronpa), you can help us make our archive even better.

I want to run a server
Awesome! You can add Cloudbox to your server just like any other addon. If you want new players to be able to join when you're playing on a map from Cloudbox, you'll need to add something to your config (or run the command).


This lets new players download the map straight from Cloudbox, even without having it installed.

Open source?
Yes! Cloudbox is fully open source, from the addon itself to the server powering it.

You can see the code for:

Known Bugs
  • A lot of stuff doesn't work right (we know, our compatibility layer isn't finished yet)
  • Sometimes I stop being able to download things (something broke, you need to change map)

Where is Cloudbox data stored
When you download something from Cloudbox, the content is stored locally so it doesn't have to be downloaded again. This can add up over time, so you might want to clear out the downloads cache. You can find the cache at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\cloudbox\downloads

Commands
You can easily tweak Cloudbox's behavior using console commands.
  • cloudbox_userchangelevel - Allow non-admins to changelevel to Cloudbox maps
  • cloudbox_adminonly - Only allow admins to download from Cloudbox
  • cloudbox_showjoinmessage - Show Cloudbox chat message on join
  • cloudbox_getpackage - Download a package from Cloudbox by ID and (optionally) revision
  • cloudbox_purgecache - Purge the Cloudbox downloads cache
