Suggestion: A way of packing .GMA files without Uploading to Workshop

[megascan]

As the title says, there should be an easy and convenient way of Packing a GMA file without uploading to the workshop

[WilliamVenner]

There's no need for this, GMA files have no use other than for publishing. They're redundant.

[megascan]

Well you have ways of extracting them,
even a simple way to construct them just so people can finally ditch GMPU for interacting with gma files

[megascan]

Not many people do this, but people self host the gma's for manual mounting and it's getting more common on servers

[WilliamVenner]

Yeah that's a good point. However, for something like server content I think it'd be more appropriate for people to automate it, and gmpublisher is not really designed for automation, being a GUI app.

[megascan]

True that, suggestion still stands though

[megascan]

Also considering your implementation of making .gma files is blazingly fast compared to gmad.exe a CLI util for this would be phenomenal
