i assume it means a smaller or lighter version with less features but i may be wrong

I thought so too, but the guide for what the mod does is the same guide they link in the other version

Just get the full version, all it is is more custom map compatibility I believe. Just like 200 something mb bigger

The lite version removes the weapons with the mod along with some animations and custom assets to increase compatibility with custom maps trying not to hit the engine limit.

In my experience this seems to be true, ideally lite is the way to go if you want to play with more control over some settings on custom maps. I'd recommend you try out full too since it adds a bit more zest, both are still great! I usually play full on normal maps and lite with custom but the choice is always yours!

Good to know! I always used the original full one and i was thinking this was just the full but in a more compressed version. Good to know this is better for custom maps! Thanks for the info!
