Add-on useless for now!

This is a relic of what was a go-to for so long! But nowadays it won't be any useful anymore. Here's the change that makes this add-on obsolete: Optimize widgets (but better)

Server optimizer: Widgets Disabler This addon only has an effect on the server. The clients do not need this addon.

Associated bug report

TickWidgets are very CPU expensive

What is this?

Widgets are basically clickable 3D planes. If you do not use widgets, you can safely disable them with this addon. That will save, let's say... around 40% of CPU time when you have many players! This increased CPU power can be used to welcome more players! This addon is compatible with widgets that work clientside, but it disables functions required by widgets that work serverside.

Examples

Widgets that come with Garry's Mod are: - widget_base - widget_arrow - widget_axis - widget_bones
