Redundant File Finder

Description
As of 02/Jul/2025, gmod natively includes the content from Counter-Strike: Source and HL2's episodes (at least the x86-64 and indev branches do), 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:

We’re not here because we’re w rizz. We’re here because we’re ohio. There’s no escaping CaseOh. No denying the rizzler. Because as we both know without twitch, we would not be spamming w's in kai's chat. You move to an area and you rizz and rizz until every gyatt is rizzed and the only way you can escape ohio is to eat mangoes. There is another condiment on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? MUSTAAAAARD. Have you ever played blox fruits with your life on the line? Marveled at its mangoes, it’s Tung Tung Tung Sahur. Billions of chunguses, just getting that reddit gold―oblivious. Did you know that the first GTA was designed to be a Perfect Cell? Where none got oiled up by Diddy, where everyone would watch Skibidi Toilet. It was Fanum Taxed. No one GET OUTTT! Griddy, Mr. Hawk. Chickens of jockeys. Temporary italian brainrot of a feeble jonkler trying desperately to mog PACKGOD that is without Chicken bone Google Chrome.:steamhappy:
