the best idea I've ever had for Garry's Mod (the game itself)
in built addon compression and decompression!
Compress addon files:
  • Cannot be done if an addon is enabled.
    (or will just disable an addon if is used.)
  • Disabled addons are disabled manually.
  • Disabling an addon doesn't immediently compress it.
  • It is put into a folder / compressed in a single large file to avoid decompression errors.
Decompress addon files:
  • Decompress addon files.
    (does not change disabled/enabled state.)
  • Automatically decompresses enabled addons.
Other potential features:
  • Scan a selected addon for any broken files or corrupted files.
  • Check if addon is even in Garry's Mod files.
  • An icon or yellow border on an addon to see if an addon has been compressed or not.
  • The ability to just delete an addons files
    (doesn't remove any identifiers or the entire file.)
