Large mod upload?

Ablom1s · Nov 28, 2022

I'm trying to upload a mod in several parts but it tells me I can only upload one file. What am I doing wrong?

P.S. Tried both rar and 7zip

Our system does not support uploading mods in various parts. It can only be a mod in one part with a max size of 500mb i believe.

That is sad. I saw some threads on the forum and thought it was possible.
Unfortunately, a total conversion mod for a new season of F1 Manager 2022 won't fit the 500mb requirement.

One (slightly painful) workaround is to submit multiple mods for the pieces, which must all be installed to complete the mod...

Like Neil says, you'd need to upload it as "part 1" and "part 2" with 00* endings.

But does this mean the F1 Manager 1991 Mod is finished?

Yes, it is finished.

Is this ok? Cuz it doesn't work...

Hmmm. @Neilski did change to this, and test it just some months ago: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/problems-uploading-7z-split-archives-001-002.246218/

Yes indeed, I just tested it again with a .7z.001 file and it worked OK.

I hope it gets sorted, becaue this is a mod that I honestly thought it would go years before we would see. Face models are changed, car models are changed etc. It really is a complete "remake" of the game!

It loads the .7z.001, but for the .7z.002 file it uploads it But then it says I can only upload 1 file.

Ah, got it. Sadly you can indeed only upload 1 file per mod, but you can (I did say it was slightly painful) upload multiple mods with individual pieces...

What about uploading it as 2 parts, naming the first "mod" part 1
Then a separate part 2 and link to the first in the description.
I'm pretty sure that's how the GTR2 anniversary patch is done.
