i know there's a better way to compile maps than using Worldcraft, but i dont know what. i tried using TBCC, but it seems to be stuck. all it's displaying is:
"C:MappingTBCC_01Bbatch>ECHO OFF
Could not find C:MappingTBCC_01B*.log
C:MappingTBCC_01Bbatch>ECHO OFF"

i guess i didnt configure it right, maybe?? or is it working?

RESGEN
i have a custom sound file for my garage door and a custom wad file. how do i make a .RES file for them? could i write one in Notepad and save it as .RES? i tried using the RESGEN program, but it always gives me an error. what am i doing wrong?

i figured out how to make the RESGEN thing work, but does anyone know how to help with me compile my map faster?

Worldcraft? Why are you using that?

Have a read of the Compiling Introduced tutorial, and Google for stuff on batch files. Have an experiment on the command-line.

i tried writing my own batch file, but Im not very familiar with DOS commands at all. Please tell me if i need to change or add anything to it. here is what i wrote:

C:MappingWorldcrafthlcsg.exe "C:MappingMy Mapsmy_house"
C:MappingWorldcrafthlbsp.exe "C:MappingMy Mapsmy_house"
C:MappingWorldcrafthlvis.exe "C:MappingMy Mapsmy_house"
C:MappingWorldcrafthlrad.exe "C:MappingMy Mapsmy_house"

copy "C:MappingMy Mapsmy_house.pts" "C:Half-Lifecstrikemapsmy_house.pts"
copy "C:MappingMy Mapsmy_house.bsp" "C:Half-Lifecstrikemapsmy_house.bsp"

C:Half-Lifehl.exe -game cstrike +map my_house -console -dev

That looks fine to me. Try tapping the commands straight into cmd.exe (NTx [NT, 2000, XP]) or command.com (9x) and see if they work. Spaces in pathnames are bad, though.

I hope you're getting the name wrong. You should not be using Worldcraft, Hammer has been around for years now.

im still using Worldcraft...its what i learned on and is what im used to. is hammer pretty much the same thing? i mean, what makes hammer better than worldcraft?

Hammer is no different than Worldcraft. What makes it better is that it's updated and more stable. 3.5b lets you see models in editor.

It's just a much newer version, and they re-branded it. Worldcraft has no advantages to it whatsoever. You should see the 'fixed bugs' list for the first Hammer :).
