Redundant File Finder

Description
As of 02/Jul/2025, gmod natively includes the content from Counter-Strike: Source and HL2's episodes, so packing it in your map is now unnecessary. If you did that, you should remove it. Too lazy? This will help.
The video is a tutorial.

This thing will scan your addons and report any files that are also present in the base game or mounted games (and save the report to disk, in data/redundancies.txt). You'll have to use the console commands listed below. Some files may be stored inside the BSP file and can only be detected by playing the map in-game and using the right command. Because gmod doesn't let addons delete files for safety reasons, you'll have to delete them yourself. Also, if you modified the mounted games, results will be inaccurate.

NOTE: This addon only checks if files have the same path and name. I tried to add the ability to check if the files are different, but the jank defeated me.

People's storage devices don't have infinite capacity, and loading times to get into servers are already infamously long.

Console commands:
Command

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life
