Looking into the snapshots feature, there's never been any code doing any cleanup or deletion. It just issues a warning to the console if the snapshot size *for the current map* exceeds the given size in MB.

"AutoSaver: The snapshot files in C:\Games\darkmod\maps\snapshots\ total more than 100 MB. You might consider cleaning up."

I won't implement anything like auto-deletion for the moment being (I want to avoid algorithms automatically deleting stuff in the background). But I improved the user notification somewhat:

A warning popup will appear once after exceeding the limit, and will not re-appear unless the size goes below the threshold again in the meantime.

Also, default per-map snapshot size increased to 1 GiB.
