Changelog of Gmod Escape Menu Editor

⚡ Client-side Optimization
I've implemented a brand new translation system aimed at enhancing performance and reducing overall size. Now, initialization occurs only once, regardless of the number of installed scripts. Previously, each of my scripts would initialize individually on the client-side, which, with a total of 51 scripts, could lead to slowdowns. With this update, a single initialization will handle all 51 scripts and future ones, optimizing both the client and the overall experience.

Reduction in client-side code size.

❌ Removed
Removed certain icons such as flags, reducing the size of the workshop ressources download.

✔️ Patched:
Patch Lua Error cl_escape_menu.lua:61: attempt to index field 'OwnerSteamID' (a nil value)

🧱 Improved :
This update Improve and optimize the access system.
Addition in the configuration file:
----- Administration -----
cfg.OwnersSteamID64 = {["{{user_steamid64}}"]=true} --If you are the owner and you dont use Admin System put your Steam ID64 here.
cfg.Admin_GROUP_ACCESS = {["superadmin"]=true,["admin"]=true}

To be able to send large text like the history of your Gmod server it was necessary to use the net library.
