+
+ Ok, thank you.
+
+
+ - Will Batch Compiler be executable without Microsft.Net Framework in the future?
+
+ - Is Batch Compiler faster than a bat?
+
+
+ thx again.

1. Most likely not. Older versions used to run independantly, but it was converted to
+ C# .NET because the code was easier to write and manage (or so I assume).
+
+ 2. Yes and No. Nem's Batch Compiler atcually just generates a .BAT file and then runs it like a normal
+ batch script. However, unlike writing the scripts by hand (and needing to know all the command switches
+ and how they work), Nem's Batch Compiler provides an easy to use user interface allowing the user to
+ easilychoose the settings they want.
+
+ So basically, in the end you get the same result (a .bat script gets run), but Nem's batch compiler
+ makes setting up the script a lot easier.
+

Thanks Bluefang.

Is there a work around for yesterday's update on the sdk? Its not compiling hl2 maps
+ correctly. Keeps telling me that it can't find the sky. When i compile from within hammer, that same
+ line is using an * to do the different views (sky_day02_10*.vmt is an example).
+
+ In bc, its trying to do sky_day02_10rt.vmt, which causes it to fail.
+
+ Any solutions?
+
+

can you post that portion of the compile log? I'm not sure what you are talking about
+ because the sky setting is a map setting, not a compile setting. It should have nothing to do with the
+ batch compiler.
+
+ What compile tools are you using? (the ones that come with the SDK or amckern's CST tools)

I've been having some buggy problems with the the hammer compiler--inexplicably,
+ hammer won't compile certain filenames for me, even if they're identical maps. Example:
+
+ I start a map called "vanillasky.rmf" and try to compile it. I get a compile error saying
+ "no such file or directory".
+
+ Then all I do is "save as" the map as "vs.rmf", and it compiles without a
+ hitch.
+
+ This type of thing is happening increasinly more often, despite reinstalling hammer and trying other
+ things.
+
+ SO, that's why I started using Batch Compiler. It works great! Thanks for a great/easy utility!

hi,
+
+ i am getting the following error when compiling:
+
+ SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012E938) failed with error 1: The registry is in use by
+ another process, timeout expired
+
+ any help please ?
+
+
+

Sorry Hammah, I've never seen that error before and I don't think it's the fault of
+ Batch Compiler, but Steam.
+
+
+
+
I also have this problem, but it is specifically when I try to use the "Custom
+ Source Tools". I can compile with them fine through hammer just not using Batch Compiler.

Small bug with the recent version of batch compiler using Zoner's Tools (HL1):
+
+ For the RAD parameter -maxlight you seem to have forced that the user must specify a value in the range
+ 1-255 . However by experimenting with this parameter it seems to actually require a value between 0 and
+ 1.
+
+ I did several compiles of a map with maxlight '196' '128' '64' and finally '1' and found these values
+ did NOTHING to cap the level brightness. Then on trying the value 0.5 I get the effect I want, implying
+ the values should be between 0 and 1.
+
+ I know you'll probably never get anyone else complaining about this problem, but thought I'd point it
+ out anyway!
+
+ Cheers for a great tool!

Apologies if this is not where people are supposed to post bugs.
+
+ In the batch compile when i check a check box for WAD File under the csg tab. I select two different
+ wads. One is on my 2nd hard drive, another is on my hard drive with the OS and where the program is
+ installed. When I compile i get warnings like the following: Warning: Wad file '\documents and
+ settings\raz\desktop\ka_b2\ka_b2.wad' not found, also tried 'D:\\ka_b2\ka_b2.wad'
+
+ My wads folder is D:\wads and the 2nd wad file im using is on my desktop. I don't know if this is a bug
+ or just me screwing something up. Any help would be appreciated.

I just bought a new computer and installed the latest batch compiler and latest
+ tools. I used the BC on my old machine and never had a trouble... until now.
+
+ If I try to compile the .rmf file, It gives me errors saying it can't find the wads.
+
+ If, however, I either compile the .map file or if there is a preexisting .map file in the directory, it
+ compiles flawlessly.
+
+ It's a small annoyance, but it took me damn hours to figure that out. I was just about to give up and go
+ to the Hammer compiler, but i really would rather die. afaik on my old machine, the Batch Compiler
+ compiled .rmf files just fine, but I can't test it because it doesn't work anymore, lawl. = >
+
+ Does anyone know what's the matter?
+
+ edit: I can't get HLFix to work either, says it can't open the input file (might be a hint?)
+
+
+
+

Most likely you need a wad.txt file for HLFix. This can be generated by the
+ "makewad.exe" tool that comes with HLFix. This will use the WAD files in your VHE
+ configuration to generate the WAD list. Then you just need to update the WAD file setting in the HLFix
+ tab in the Batch Compiler.

Whenever I try to compile using this utility for Source, I receive an error reading,
+ "Loading c:\sierra\steam\steamapps\zebrajch\garrysmod\garrysmod\maps\testmap.bsp
+ Cannot load the static props... encountered a stale map version. Re-vbsp the map."
+
+ When I compile with the usual Hammer compiler, it compiles all the way through. I have been using this
+ Batch Compiler ever since it was released for HL1, I would love to be able to use it for Source as well.
+ I hope someone knows how to resolve this problem.
+
+ Watch it be some simple thing.

That's most likely caused by a compile error. Check the console output (when you're
+ running the compile) or in the compile log (should be in the same folder as your map file that you're
+ compiling). Then head over to the official SDK forums at
steampowered.com
+ (for HL2) or the forums at
VERC-Collective
+ (for HL1)

i have a huge problem:
+ when i compile with batch compiler it gives me "brush out of world error"
+ but when i use zhlt by pressing f9 in hammer it compiles fine.
+ I cannot make final compile in hammer, because it takes too much of my ram to have hammer open at same
+ time as compile, and then it either stops on rad part or vis part.
+ ive tried everything, i even tried to make batch compiler use same version as hammer, but it still
+ doesnt work
+ plz answer fast, my map should have been released like 1 week ago, but this problem holds me back alot
+
+
+
+
+
it broke on me
+
+ 1)says a world brush is leaked
+ 2)cant find good brush to use as portal??? i dont want my map divided >:(

Hello Nem, ok i have set the batch to compiler to the correct settings(as far as i
+ know) , but when i compile, it makes a long list of materials not found and many error loading studio
+ model's , when i load the map almost everything is there, stranger thou some of the props that are
+ missing are normal tf2 props, is there something i may have missed? could the fact that some of the
+ materials could be from hl2 , could that be a problem, i mean it should be in the sdk dir. plez i have
+ had such problems with hammer and i want this map compiled already! damnedge

Hey Nem.,
+
+ Any chance you'll be doing an update on the batch compiler for the 2009 Source Engine? I don't know if
+ it makes much of a difference.
+
+ Counter-Strike Source just released their "2010 update" which changed the engine... so as far
+ as I know, using Batch Compiler you are limited to the old engine's compiling capability?.. :(
+
+ I'd love to use 2048x2048 custom tex's :P. I'd love you man! definately donate like 40-50 bux
+ worthy.
+
+ Holy crap. I just opened the compiler in editor, and... theres no csg stage?! lol weird.
+
+ ***edit***
+
+ Almost forgot, there IS no CSG stage in Source Engine hahaha duhhhh... so used to hl1, bah I'm still
+ used to quake 2 for half the things with bsp mapping ;).
+
+ Also, I realized that Batch Compiler is using the vXXX.exe's (like vbsp etc) from steam directly so it
+ shouldn't be an issue, again, used to HL1 and ZHLT's vXXX's lol.
