Hello, I’m trying to upload a module and am getting an API 408 error. I’m not sure what’s wrong this time. File size maybe?
How large is the file?
File size is 300.8 MB 
It’s slightly over the size limit. Have you already removed unused images?
I have. I can try to get it a little smaller. What’s the file size limit?
The current limit is 300MB.
If you’ve already removed all the unused images, there are two things I’d suggest:
- Run a PNG optimizer such as optipng over all the PNGs.
- Rezip the module at maximum compression.
If neither of those get you under 300MB, let me know.

Hey Joel, I got file size down to 260mb. But I’m still getting this stupid API 408 error. I’ve double-checked the version number matches the file name. Is there something else I could be doing wrong? Feels like this new website is constantly fighting me…
Is there somewhere I can download the module so I can see it? (Note that I might be slow to act in the next few days because I’ll be traveling.)
Thanks Joel. The file is on my OneDrive: Microsoft OneDrive
I took a quick look at the module. I don’t see anything obviously wrong. I’m still tied up for a few more days so can’t really dig into this further until then. Try uploading the module again.
Thanks for responding. I tried again this evening. Still getting the same error. I signed out of VASSAL, re-signed in. That didn’t work either. I’m out of ideas…
I will get back to this, but maybe not for a few days due to my father having had an operation yesterday.
