• How does compression of workshop addons work?
    1 replies, posted
I started cleaning my subscriptions and noticed that the file size stated on the workshop page for the addon is smaller than it actually is on my drive. I'm assuming that when it gets packed into the .GMA file it gets compressed and compressed again when it goes on the workshop but I'm pretty sure it's wrong. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, I'd just like to know more about how it works.
It gets compressed once, when it is uploaded to the workshop, and decompressed once, when you launch your game and it installs the addons.
