Max Workshop Filesize? - Developers

I saw a thread on steam forums saying it was 200MB but looking in my addons folder I have a 370.917MB gma.

There's no hardcoded limit as far as I know, sometimes the compressing fails, and decompressing will also take longer or potentially fail for people if the addons are super large. If your addon is more than 100MB compressed, its bad.

I think it uses LZMA, the filesize shown on workshop is the compressed size. ( or when you upload the thing to workshop using gmpublish.exe )

And now that you talk about this, why can't servers download more than 64 mb of add-ons?

It's a bug with the server software.

Also, would you know how to increase the size for the downloadables table(within the game's own files so you wouldn't have to make a whole new update)? I have 11057 lines in my server's resources.lua and get quite a bit of the [QUOTE=srcds.exe console]Error! Table downloadables is full, can't add <path for custom model or material>[/QUOTE]

You have too much shit to be downloaded, either use WorkshopDL or cut on your downloads.

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;46998181]You have too much shit to be downloaded.[/QUOTE] Yeah..you're probably right lol. Well thank you for the help. Lastly, what would you estimate or guess an addon(or at least a single part)'s max file size(uncompressed) should be for the best results/no errors when uploading?

afaik steam themselves limit the workshop files to ~200mb

[QUOTE=dbk21894;46998466]afaik steam themselves limit the workshop files to ~200mb[/QUOTE] That seems about right, anything over 200MB(before compression) seems to fail.
