I'm using these files in my gaming server, and every time I add a new player model, I get

this error

[ERROR] lua/autorun/server/fastdlskins.lua:938: '<eof>' expected near 'end'
  1. unknown - lua/autorun/server/fastdlskins.lua:0

I also get a similar error when I add an add-on to a different file

 [ERROR] lua/autorun/server/workshopitems.lua:55: '<eof>' expected near 'end'
   1. unknown - lua/autorun/server/workshopitems.lua:0

I usually just have to put an 'end' after the code, but I don't see what else I'm required to do. I don't have any loops running (I think), so I'm not closing any of those out. Not sure what to do.

As Egor said, remove the extra end at the end of the files.

end is only used to close blocks for functions and loops, like } in C-like languages. The end at the file is not closing anything, and is thus invalid syntax.
