1) Open HLCC

2) Select your map.

3) Enable ' Generate Batch File '

4) Configure your compile options

5) Compile

6) Click on the 'bat' tab.

7) You should get something like this:

? quote:
hlcsg.exe -estimate "D:xc_bank"
hlbsp.exe -estimate "D:xc_bank"
hlvis.exe -fast -estimate "D:xc_bank"
hlrad.exe -extra -estimate "D:xc_bank"
COPY "D:xc_bank.bsp" "D:SteamSteamAppsxconspirisist@msn.comcounter-strikecstrikemaps"
COPY "D:xc_bank.pts" "D:SteamSteamAppsxconspirisist@msn.comcounter-strikecstrikemaps"


8) After that, add:

? quote:
pause


9) So it reads something like:

? quote:
hlcsg.exe -estimate "D:xc_bank"
hlbsp.exe -estimate "D:xc_bank"
hlvis.exe -fast -estimate "D:xc_bank"
hlrad.exe -extra -estimate "D:xc_bank"
COPY "D:xc_bank.bsp" "D:SteamSteamAppsxconspirisist@msn.comcounter-strikecstrikemaps"
COPY "D:xc_bank.pts" "D:SteamSteamAppsxconspirisist@msn.comcounter-strikecstrikemaps"
pause


10) On the mini toolbar, click 'Save BAT File'. Mouseover the icons for a description of what they do.

11) save you're file somewhere. I called mine 'compile.bat'. It is very important that you call it something, and then append '.bat' to the end. If you dont, the file will have no file type, and your map will not compile.

12) Go back to the 'files' tab.

13) Untick 'Generate BAT file', or you're modified bat file will be over written.

14) Hit the blue compile button, really hard, with your head.

15) Wait until you're map compiles.

16) The compile window should now, not close. You can scroll up, and see you're compile log. The window will only close when you click the cross button, or when you 'Press any key to continue'.

Hope this helps.

There isn't really any point to this considering your compile log is outputted to a file anyway, so you can check it at any time rather than have to do it straight after compiling. I guess if you really want it to stay up as soon as the compile is finished this will be right up your alley though smiley
