fishburger67 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Because Lovers Lab only permits 100 meg uploads, I have to split my mod into two bsa files with separate .7z installers. I can make this work by adding a second esp file or manually editing the skyrim.ini file, but I was hoping for an alternate solution. Does anyone have any idea how to make two .bsa files get loaded for the same esp without modifying the skyrim.ini file?
Heromaster Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 You also can link to a mirror like mega or something like that.
swmas Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Package the mod as you normally do with one .bsa. After that, zip it again in a split archive.
fishburger67 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks for the replies I was hoping to avoid splitting the archive because then people have to download zip to recombine it I had considered using Mega and that is likely what I'll have to end up doing. Does anyone know if it is possible to modify your download page to add such an external link?
swmas Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 winrar and 7zip can handle .7zip split archives. And if someone doesn't have one or the other I doubt they are doing any modding. Anyone who is doing game modding are forced to download crazier shit than the above programs. Regardless, if you choose to go with the outside mirrors I hope you will still post it here as split archives.

Does anyone know if it is possible to modify your download page to add such an external link? You can type in a URL instead of uploading a file in the download page setup. If people click on the download button they are automatically redirected to that mirror. You can also set up multiple mirrors, if you want to. Check out the Sexlab main files to see how it works.
Heromaster Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Yes, you go to the download page, edit file or upload new version and next to the button Upload New File you have the link "Link to a file" where you have more options putting in the url for an external host. Edit: Ninja'd, I'm getting slow
