Seeing how I have near 5 maps in my addons folder, I was wondering how this would affect my loadtimes, since I am near 7 minutes of loading. How does GMod load things?
I am not exactly sure how to phrase this. Feel free to make me clarify.
Don't put them in your addons folder, put them in you maps folder :ms:
I meant maps that are for the folder. Like mobenix, bigcity I think, etc. I am smart enough to know where a .bsp goes.

If you are smart enough then why are you asking us?
:doh: The folders that have settings, materials, maps, etc, and info.txt, you put them in addons so you extract one thing or something (ask the creators why they did so). If I have large folders like that (such as gm_apocalypse) will GMod load that if I am playing a different map, like wirecontruct?
I know that maps are loaded only when requested. I think un-compiled materials and models are loaded if the map isn't, however.
Yes, of course only the map would load, but other things in the folders loading with it! :psyduck:
Let me sum up basicly what this thread says and what your responce will probably be:
Thread: It's compilcated and it's probably the creator's fault!
You: Wat?
Maps are loaded on request.
Materials and models, even if part of a map addon, if not compiled will load at start.
Yes, the materials folders of my maps are only about 2-5MB but add them all together and they can make a good 15 or 20MB, a nice extra 2 minutes or something. It's not of much importance to me. I only wanted to know.

I haven't figured out the MB:loadtime ratio yet.
