gmoddatapack

This module changes how GMod's data pack compresses files by compressing them once set instead of delaying the compression until a person joins to avoid having a lag spike and increased loading times when initially joining.
This is not that useful by itself, though when you're developing and do lots of map changes or restarts this can save a bit of time.
Additionally using the holylib_gmoddatapack_removeserverif and holylib_gmoddatapack_removecomments convars, it can strip files reducing size further. Supports: Linux32 | Linux64 | Windows32 | Windows64
