ACF is not ours. Wire only manages wiremod, adv duplicator, and the repository for wire extras.

Oh, Sorry.

But do you think its possible to contact the ACF dev team about putting it on workshop too?

Sorry. I don't even know ACF. You should try asking them yourself.

acf devs said there will be no acf on workshop because its about 600mb and who would like to download 600mb if they change even the name of a file ?

I was thinking about this:

They could split it up into several smaller packs that make up the ACF we know and love.

For example:

Pack 1: Engines

Pack 2: Explosives and armor

Pack 3: Weapons and vehicles.


Hope i helped you guys.

i dont know what ACF is but it sounds awesome.
@ message above: thats a good idea.

Regardless of what a sensible structure for the ACF addon would be, we do not control or know about the ACF addon, and any comments you make here will not get to the developers of ACF.

Well the least you can do is try and contact them with these suggestions, I respect that you guys have your hands full ATM but i dont even know how to contact them.

Workshop rule is not to upload an item as multiple packs.

I know you are just asking for help, and hoping a group with a reputation would back you up, but that's not our place to ask other developers like that. Our reputation marks us as an authority on interactive components like wiremod, it does not make us "masters of the workshop". We would probably only serve to upset the ACF devs.

Sorry.

>Multiple packs

TDM did it, Sakarias did it, The countless amount of S-cars spam by Lucky9two technically is, Doc did it with his Source vehicles pack, So why not ACF?

I'm from ACF and stumbled across this. We're actually looking at ways to harness workshop to distribute our spare content (500 of our 600mb, it's a long story). If we do end up using workshop for that, we'll probably still use Github to distribute the core components of ACF because they're updated a lot more frequently and it's more convenient for us.

If you have more questions, feel free to visit our Github/FP page and ask us there: https://github.com/nrlulz/ACF

@Anticept given the great amount of nice things the wire team has given gmod over the years, I think you'd have to try especially hard to upset us :p

Nice to have an ACF dev on this thread! When you say "Core components" Does that mean that the ACF on the workshop wont work without Github? I hope not, Seeing as you guys can anger people with that.

That is correct - if we use workshop to distribute our extras, we'll be sure to mark them as such.
We're still throwing ideas around right now but we're likely going to partition our stuff into "Engine soundpack", "Weapon soundpack" etc, clearly marked as supporting content with a link to an ACF installation guide. These smaller chunks will be better for the user because they need to redownload less when a pack gets updated.

We're really not interested in the extra effort (and potential cost) of distributing ACF on workshop in its entirety right now. However unlikely, that might change down the line. Who knows?

I appreciate the wire devs hosting this discussion on their page but I'd like it if this was continued on one of the links above so we can bother them no longer and the other ACF devs can have a say :)

Alright, Thanks.

Best of luck on getting ACF in its entirety on the workshop.

Bender, you are one lucky...
