The tool initially served a specific purpose on a roleplay server, addressing lighting engine issues in Gmod. Originally not intended for public release, I later decided to share it, recognizing its potential benefit to others. Plans were underway to enhance its functionality by storing metadata on props to aid in game saves and preserving removed shadows through the Advanced Duplicator. However, my involvement with Gmod ceased in 2018, and since then, I've only made minor updates to my addons.

I don't anticipate updating this tool to include those features, as I've shifted away from Gmod. However, if someone is interested in further developing it, they're welcome to contact me through my profile to discuss transferring ownership. Any potential taker would be added as a co-author of the workshop addon, and updates would initially undergo my review to ensure they don't introduce any unforeseen issues for users.
