How to get ready for online play!
由 Decrypt 制作
This guide will show you the necessary steps to not have a 50gb download for every person that wants to play with you in Garry's Mod.

Be wary, as if you have a potato pc re-enabling all your addons at the same time may cause crashes, computer explosions or an end of reality event.

Part 1, Other players and you.
Firstly, ask which end device someone will be downloading to, as 30gb on a low end is not the same as on a high end.
Also, Watch out for particularly buggy or laggy addons, as they will create an unpleasant experience for anyone playing. Also, I recommend downloading addon sharer as it remove many errors and bugs from the downloading process.

Part 2, Addon disabling
Firstly, navigate to the addons section of the menu and click on subscribed. From there, click on the tool icon as shown below and select disable all addons.



Note: Enabling addons after this is a must, but any addons you don't use you should do the following.
Click on the select all button, then de-select every adddon you don't need.Then click enable selected.
Part 3, Choosing for online play.
Look for addons with low sizes. Below will be an example of a good sized addon.
(Size is 2 MB)

This is a bad addon to have in multiplayer.
(652 MB, good addon when paired with other small ones but not with other large ones. a Gaming PC is reccomended for running many of these.)

Not downplaying the work that these creators have put into these addons, just showing the optimal size.
Part 4, Optimal map.
Most maps without many props should be fine, no more to be said.
Here are some good multiplayer maps (for sandbox, mostly).

And of course, GM_construct and GM_flatgrass!

Oh yeah, and also tell people what map you are going to use.
Part 5, Setting up a server.
You can select any amount of players, just remember to have friends only on.
(oh yeah, also add people before inviting them, this stops randoms from joining or something)
Part 6, Profit!
If you completed my steps correctly, you should experience the following!

After male_08 got friends:
.
!IMPORTANT! Side effects of having friends include: Instructions being unclear, doing stupid ♥♥♥♥, your friend betray you, they kill your minecraft dog, etc.
FAQ:
Q: Instructions unclear, {insert here}
A: Install CS:S irl, then if you are still having the problem Install all source games.

Q: Could disabling addons corrupt them?
A: Yes, but only if you have a bad PC. Also, They should fix upon restarting GMOD or downloading said addon again.
