Filesize limit for mods #513

Open BryanHaley opened 3 days ago

BryanHaley commented 3 days ago

I'm working on a mod that uses a lot of custom music. When dragging a large amount of mp3 files into the mod_directory/sound/ folder, the mod becomes greyed out.

When dropping in just a few files, it seems to be fine.

As far as I can tell, there's not any console output or on-screen explanation for why the mod is greyed out. Is there a limit somewhere regarding file size or number of files? Is there a way this can be more clearly communicated to the mod author and/or user?

There is a 35 MB mod size limit, any mods past like 15 will take forever to download anyways. A display for XX/35 MB could be added to indicate when you're getting close to that limit, which you probably shouldn't.

Is there any way to allow users to override that limit? Maybe this is a niche case, but I'm actually making this mod on request -- they're moreso just using sm64coopdx as a platform for running mods on. Being that they're effectively playing singleplayer, an arbitrary limit of 35MB only really hinders them with no benefit.

I think there's also an argument to be made that it should be up to the users if they care about the 35MB limit or not even when playing cooperatively.
