Batch Compiler setup

Ok so I decided to start using Nem's batch compiler to compile my maps. I completely understand everything about the compile except for setting it up properly.

Do I need input and output paths for the zoner's tools? If so what are the paths?

How do I set it up so that I can compile a map for saaay DoD that is installed in my Half Life directory? (this means not steam)

Ok I have been working with it some more. Also I have read the tutorials at Nem's site but still have a few questions. Do the zoner's tools need input and output paths. I am asking this again because knowing some people on this site they'll end up talking about how to make a func_ladder or something. I think this is my only question I haven't gotten an answer to but I might find some later ask.

Thanks

No idea really. I'm not familiar with the particular compile GUI you are using.

However, I think the way the compile tools work is that you give them the path of your *.map file and they create the *.bsp file in the same directory as the source file came form. Then you just need to copy the compiled map to wherever you want it to end up. Whether you do that with a command in a batch file or manually doesn't really make much difference.

Shameless plug

Maybe you should take a look at my recent tutorial on batch file compiling. It might give you some insight in to how things work.

Oh, and a word of advice: don't insult the people you are asking for help.

I think this is my only question I haven't gotten an answer to but I might find some later ask.

It had been 2 hours between your first and second posts, maybe nobody that was on the site during that time knew the answer

answer is simple really, use HLCC :heee:

I thought this thread died out. I might just right a tut on using Nem's batch compiler. This thing has been great so far.

If you ask a question then answer it yourself, you ought to post the solution so that others in the future can find the answer.
