You can use my new batch compile tool for both EP1 and Orangebox mods.

VBCT does virtual batch compiling, that is it completely manages the process and captures all the output (it doesn't spawn a .bat file). As a result you can still use your computer while you are compiling a map.

The options are extremely easy to use but I fully support all the advanced compile options as well including VMPI which allows you to use several computers on your home network to compile one map.

I'm just now implementing support for theship and L4D, I'll have an update for those mods very soon.

Ah, sorry that Nem isn't responding.

Here we go, I made a TWHL background for VBCT (nice orange gradient):

I didn't put in any changes to make it work, I designed the tool from scratch to work with the current SDK so I have no idea what Nem did differently, especially so since I've never seen his code or run his tool to see how it behaves (or mis-behaves).

I would suggest contacting Nem to see if he will update his tool.

VBCT can compile maps for all Stock Source games EP1 and OB as well as most if not all custom mods based on either of those two engines. I'm still testing the latest custom mods that were just released on Steam, but I don't expect any surprises at the moment.

Although I've looked at Nem's tool I can't tell you why it doesn't work with the OB mods. Nem might need to update it to support some of the recent engine changes.

Hello everyone!

Yes MuzzleFlash, this tool is my creation.

I appreciate feedback and suggestions, but my main concern is functionality and compatibility.

You can completely customize the main panel color and text color or even load a custom background image to the main panel, I have some samples in the zip.

Just look in the advanced options > load/remove panel background images.

Thanks for posting this here Doc.
