Need someone to update this addon

[mathew118]

is there anyone willing to update this addon to make it work with Garry's Mod 13? [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=103559[/url]
if anyone does thanks

That addon was out dated and poorly coded in Gmod 12... I'd recommend looking for a different one made for use in Gmod 13.

As I recall it uses text files to save a single number: your time played. That's allocating 4+kb of disk space (depending on ur hard drive / file system) to store about 10 chars... simply retarded.

10 characters in a text file takes up less than four bytes

I have no idea how you got it in your head that it would take four thousand

Depending on the way the hard drive is partitioned, penguin is right. The minimum size on disk a file can be is the size of a cluster, which seems to default to 4kb in Windows 7.

It has to do with what microsoft is calling Cluster size.
It's essentially a limit of the smallest amount of space a file can take up for a filesystem. In larger drives it can inflate quite a bit.

You have to remember digital data is physically stored on a medium, so they have blocks. A block is the smallest unit of physical storage that can be addressed.

1 byte is the smallest addressable memory storage because reasons (CPU registers). I remember looking up the storage space in C++ for a boolean and going, WHY I only want to use 1 bit!!

I really nerded out on this one. I feel like most people can script and program object oriented without ever knowing about underlying ASM, Binary, CPU registers.

Binary is a very interesting topic.
The source of why you see powers of 2 everywhere.
2^4 = 16. 16x16 pixels. [not storage related, but power of 2 related]
2^5 = 32. 32x32 pixels. [ '' ]
2(base)^8(number of bits) = 256 = 0-255. (1 byte = 8 bits). 255 is the highest value 1 byte can hold.

binary representation of a byte
00000000 = 0
00000001 = 1
00000010 = 2
...
11111111 = 255

It would be better to use something like UTime and modify it for singleplayer.
