Why not packaging in a proper quality VAR and putting some effort in a clean finish? This is equal worse compared to the deprecated VAC approach.

Why not packaging in a proper quality VAR and putting some effort in a clean finish? This is equal worse compared to the deprecated VAC approach.

I get asked this a lot so I'm going to share my complete rationale here:

The main issue being load times for 600+ audio files are vastly increased while in compressed format. I am also expecting directory structures at a specific location and making them for the user is easier than asking them to type it in carefully, making a typo, and messaging me that there's a bug. Someday there will be a hybrid approach where MOST files are packed in a var, but performance is an issue in an already massive scene.

I have a theory about lazy loading files maybe 10 at a time or on-demand programmatically, that should potentially fix it, but ill explore that when I'm confident the product is otherwise finished.

*IF* I can do that I will still probably include with the product a directory tree for appearance presets matching the paths I expect. So a full var approach is unlikely but I will pack in as much as i can when it's stable.

Another user consideration is having vars that are 1.2GB will require the user to go back and clean up old versions manually otherwise it takes a massive amount of space on their drive. paste-in-place with overwrite eliminates that frustration.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.
