Batchfile Compiling

Hi people.

Since I was tired of annoying Mephs with my problems of slow compiling
on IRC, I tryed to write a batch file so that I can close hammer during
compiles. So I searched the internet for some tutorials. The result was
very impressive after some modifications on the batch file. Well it is
workig now and it is working very proper. - No system freezes anymore!

I am not going to create a tutorial (maybe later) because I am not 100% what exactly I did do get this show on the road!

At least, this is the content of the batch file:

// Note that you have to use your folder names!

// <span style="color: cyan;">SET gamepath=D:GamesSteamSteamAppsdevmaps = where the GameInfo.txt is located, I think :smile: </span><br style="color: white;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
%echo off<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
cls<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
echo =======================<br style="color: cyan;">
echo compile of %~n1<br style="color: cyan;">
echo =======================<br style="color: cyan;">
echo.<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
cd D:GamesSteamSteamAppsdevmapsrc<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
del %~n1.log<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
SET toolpath=D:GamesSteamSteamAppsdevbin<br style="color: cyan;">
SET gamepath=D:GamesSteamSteamAppsdevmaps<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
echo.<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">

%toolpath%vrad.exe -bounce 0 -game D:GamesSteamSteamAppsdevmaps %1<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
echo delete unnecessary files<br style="color: cyan;">
echo.<br style="color: cyan;">
del %~n1.prt<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">

echo.<br style="color: cyan;">
copy %~n1.bsp %gamepath%%~n1.bsp<br style="color: cyan;">
<br style="color: cyan;">
SET gamepath=<br style="color: cyan;">
SET toolpath=<br style="color: cyan;">
title finished compile of %~n1<br style="color: cyan;">
<span style="color: cyan;">pause

<span style="color: red;">EDIT: It seems
that it doesn't show the backslash - you know what I am talking
about? On the directory locations like D:GamesSteamSteamApps, etc - add
one!!</span>

whoops, there goes all those killbox vmf's :heee:

I hope everyone knows what to do with the batchfile. Just Drag'n'Drop
your map-file into the icon of the batch file and it will start to compile.

P.S. I will create a tutorial as soon I stopped sucking on the english
language. I cut my finger (not completely) and it is hurting like hell
so just ignore typos OR things I've forgot to mention.

Thanks - Ding.

This is rather helpful, thankyou.
