• External compiler?
    6 replies, posted
I have batch compiler but I personally can't use it, I haven't a clue what to do with it. Is there a tool I can use to just simply select the vmf I want to compile...and compile it? That's all I need. My problem is that Hammer is sucking up resources alongside the compiling software (VVIS and VRAD especially) and it has made my PC unusable. If I had some external compiler or some assistance on batch compiler that a 5 year old could follow, that would at least make it more usable than it already is. It also crashes midway so I can't even compile the map to it's final extent. :(
I don't think those issues are specific to hammer itself but to the compilers themselves. At least, back when I used to make maps that was the case. Has this changed at all?

Hammer uses up like 500mb, then the compilers take up an extra 3-400mb. This isn't a lot for most people, but this is still killing my computer even with the 4gb of ram I have.
VIDE has a compiler I think [url]http://www.riintouge.com/VIDE/[/url]
Unfortunately, it doesn't at this time.

Save us Terrenteller, you are our only hope.
Why is it then that I can compile just fine on my old laptop that has just 3gb ram? Surely if the CPU is being used 100% that makes the thing pretty unusable during compiling, but that's just for the duration of the compile, and logically.
