today i added 1 addon into the addons folder
The addons folder will only detect models with the aid of the Legacy Model Browser (and stuff from the Workshop, obviously), if they're weapons, NPCs, or whatever other kind of entity, they won't appear because there's nothing to allow them to appear
Gmod 12 was never like this at all. Im starting to hate the new gmod 13 but i don't think i will be getting gmod 12 back. Theres a gmod 9 that requires half life 2 i think and i might be able to get that.
so whats the problem with the new gmod 13? for me its a complete broken mess.
and i also downloaded a map by putting the BSP file into the "Maps" folder. when i started gmod all my addons downloaded like a slow piece of stuff.
I started my single player game and noticed while the game was loading the "installizing user data" part was taking 5 minutes just for it to load.
So it started, when i spawned a ragdoll from left 4 dead it took 10 minutes, what the hell? i thought the game crashed. it doesn't take this long. so it spawned, after this i spawned other ragdolls and it took 10 loving minutes just for them to spawn. this is ridiculous. Nearly everything i clicked took too much time to waste and its 10:08 PM here in England so thats just loving annoying. so then i spawned some npcs and it still took more time, this should not happen AT ALL.
I think i have noticed a bit of a slowdown in load times for loading up single player maps, there still might be some polishing that needs to be done since this Steampipe update is still pretty new
Judging by some of the screenshots you've posted in the past, i'd say your computer has a rough time handling the game, my laptop can run the game rather well on full settings, but it takes forever to load up the maps, addons and the spawnmenu for the first time any time i start up the game
so then i went a head and spawned a zombie npc and guess what? I got a BSOD! what a waste of loving time.
That shouldn't be, maybe try closing down some programs that aren't important or aren't being used by you or the system or something, i'm not a computer debugging expert, but your computer might be running out of processing power from all the loading, so it just has a BSOD
I suggest doing what GeneralSkar said and lower your graphical settings some more
