7zip file uploads?

Recommended Posts

so, I decided to try out the file hosting here with you guys, and I successfully uploaded a zip file for one of my mods. Then, I tried to upload a second mod, but it was a .7z file, so it failed. Is there any particular reason why 7zip isn't allowed? I've always thought that the 7zip program is the best since it can open zip and rar as well, and it compresses files into smaller packages.

 

Most of my mods are saved in 7zip, am I going to be allowed to upload them to this site in the future, or am I going to be forced to re-save them in one of the other formats? It's easy enough to do, but I doubt that I'm the only modder that uses 7z, since it allows for smaller downloads (especially of the huge mods).

 

Thanks

Just mention it to Doctor, I'm sure he can do something about it. In fact, by posting this, I'm sure it caught his attention. Otherwise, you might try posting this in the Site Feedback section.

Nice, I also had this problem. Didn't tought you'd get rid of this restriction "just like that"! Thank you doc! And nice to see one of the most accomplished modeller/skinner join the forum and host its files there too!
