Batch Compiler Problem Created 18 years ago2005-07-29 16:37:15 UTC by HeAdCrAb KILLA

I am trying out the Batch Compiler for the first time and I'm having some issues. (I am using the Batch Compiler because I'm tired of waiting for Hammer to compile!) When I go to compile my map (CSG, BSP, VIS, and RAD) a warning pops up at the end of the log stating that there's no VIS information, direct lights only. When I run the map it is in fullbright! I'm guessing that the VIS is not running but i have set it up to run and I have clearly specified where the VIS program is. If anyone knows how to fix this please respond! - HeAdCrAb KILLA

Er, nobody would manage to determine the problem from that. Post a log.

Here's the log from the Batch Compiler:

where's the end of it

That's weird; I can't see anything. Check all the settings.

Yeah it just stops there and then gives me the damn log. All of my settings appear to be correct. Is there any place besides Wavelength that I could go to compare?

weird. :

Friggan god damn programs...

wow headcrab, do you latch onto your mother's face with that mouth!

O yea, best of luck to ya

well, I can see that at the Leafthread process(in Vis), it cuts off and simply starts rad, which cuts off and ends becasue it doesn't have any complete vis info to go by.

check to make sure your ZHLT are corupt, and are updated.

All i can say is redownload the progam. Otherwise... wierd...

did u put a light_enviroment in ur map?
