S&box addons have a general file structure. Most addons will follow this structure but these folders are not required and should only be created if they serve a purpose in your addon. Addons may have minor changes to the structure or naming of these folders.

This may be a good reference if you are looking for a structure to start with. Some examples in the default addons include sbox\addons\base\ which follows this structure, while others like sbox\addons\citizen\ will have minor changes. FacePunch's GitHub Page is also a good reference for addon file structures.

The Root File Structure

Deeper File Structures

Some folders have a deeper file structure such as code, maps, and models. Although the code folder's file structure will be highly variable, some common folders will usually be present.

• sbox\addons\<project-name>\code\

• sbox\addons\<project-name>\maps\

• sbox\addons\<project-name>\models\
