General question about Gmod performance

The issue is always that a lot of GMod mappers don't know how to optimize their maps. Also, having a beefy server won't fix players with shitty computers.

Remember to put another newline after your quote :) Anyway, there are lots of videos on YouTube explaining this. But here's one that explained it well to me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne59X-e-R9Y

I own a darkrp server with 80 players --> we have a custom maps with good optimization for an open map (rockford type) Other servers like SUP use small map (Sky, road, building), which influences the performance of the player (thanks areportals)

Here simple optimization ^^

But large map problem: (The entire map is loaded..)

So it's basically the case of parts of the map being rendered for the client? I thought it was just because gmod is old as fuck.

Just because something is old, that doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that more work (like optimizing maps/models) is placed on the mapper and modeller. Those who do not understand how to do so properly make the game work worse as a whole. Oh, and GMod also has this shitty thing called awesomium... that's the part of GMod that does the web-browser related stuff. But a lot of people are convincing the devs to replace it with something else.

AMAZING! Nah, it's most-likely going to be replaced with whatever the steam browser uses. (I'm pretty sure it's based on chromium)
