Additional Notes

• Relative to garrysmod/data.
• If usebasefolder is true then it starts relative to the GMod base folder (garrysmod/garrysmod).
• When creating a file, if the directory does not exist, it will create it, making this kind of useless in most situations.
• This function is extremely slow, taking up to .03 seconds to check if one file is a folder. See string.GetExtensionFromFilename.
