Huntey will apreciate being able to compile his campaign on it, me thinks. Hope you don't hit any snags!

does L4D use the OB Source engine?
Posted 15 years ago2009-02-26 20:40:30 UTC
Post #263359
I think L4D uses an even newer engine...
Plus, its installed in a different folder.
At this point OB map compiling does'nt work at all!

How do I delete it correctly? Is it safe to just delete the exe? Does the program make any changes to the windows registry?
Posted 15 years ago2009-03-21 09:56:46 UTC
Post #264375
Yeah the program makes keys in the registry which are used to store application settings. Its under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AtomsTools
Simply delete the "TheCompilator" key.
May i ask why you want to delete it? The upcoming new version does'nt use the registry any more to store application settings, it now uses a simple text file.

There's nothing wrong with it as far as I can see, it's just that I don't need it. I already have a hand-made bat-file that works perfectly for me.

Alright, fair enough.
You may want to check out the new version once i release it. Its superior over the current version.

How much progress have you gotten through on the updates for this?
I believe there were several ideas you said you will implement on the next update, though we havent heard back in a while. Just wondering how far you've gotten with that.

"this program will not operate on 64-bit system"how do you get compilator running on windows 7?
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-13 21:13:51 UTC
Post #277887
Is there a compatibility mode?
Otherwise you could ask Muzz to compile it again in 64 bit mode nicely.

It works on my 64 bit Win 7. Although it gives a lot of errors about the registry, but it works.

Wtf, where's my post? I posted a reply yesterday, answering Darkie's question.
Goddammit.
In short: as i program, i learn new things and find new ways to do things better. Im going to rebuild the Compilator from scratch (which i already did). Version 2.x.xx will never make a public release. Be on the look out for version 3. One if its new feature will be a profile/preset manager in wich you can create profiles/presets for any game/mod. Just set it up once and you never have to set it up again while still being able to compile for different games/mods.
As for that 64-bit issue, Ill have to recompile the project to make the application support 64 bit cpu's as well as x86 cpu's.
Maybe ill just compile the current version as it is right now, and just release that. Several TWHL members are already using beta's of version 2 and as far as i know, they like it.
Stay tuned.

Does that mean to compile a hundred different maps, or just a hundred compiles of whatever?
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-24 17:47:04 UTC
Post #278367
Well, i've been thinking about that, it's a little tricky. I would prefer you have to compile 100 different maps (no map twice), but it won't be easy to check on that.
As of right now, im not even sure achievements will be included in the Compilator, it was jus a test really.

I think it should be useful if you added a scheduled compilation feature.
Of course, the scheduler should include options such as different profiles for each map as the user likes.

Since I started mapping in 2003, I don't even think I've accumulated 100 different compiles.

oh, yeah, that'd be quite neat if it accepted .rmfs and created the .map for you.
Especially since Hammer 3.5 has the odd tendency to not update .maps when you export.

I never understood why there is an "Export to MAP" option when you can select the MAP format in the Save dialog!

PB has a point, but achievements are not at all annoying. I'd like to see achievements in games.
@JeffMOD: eventually, yes. Its a bit buggy, Ep1 engine maps compile fine, but OB maps give me errors.
@Hunteh. It does that already. It accepts rmf files, then it runs through HLFix which creates a .map for the rest of the tools. This renders the Export to MAP option in Hammer completely useless. Another thing is that cordons, created with the cordon tool, no longer work. If you want to compile only a part of your map, you'll have to VIS group it. HLFix has an option to ignore VIS groups.
The thing is, this feature is only available in version 2.xx which was never released. i might just release it, but keep in mind that its still a beta, but you can compile and run maps just fine with that version.

You want profiles? You got profiles!Awesome! Would different profiles also include all the individual tool settings, including the HLFix wadlist and the CSG wadinclude list?! That would be so awesome...
'nother small thing is would be nice to have a "select all"/"deselect all" to the rmf list... It's really not a big deal but would still be nice when compiling multiple maps..
Nice to see you're still updating this1

@Huntey: No, I wouldn't be surprised. No sane person wants stupid, pointless, bloaty things in any application.
@Muzz: An application is not a game. Worthless functions such as this decrease the value of the application.
I ain't going to budge on this. If I saw this in any program I would want to use a lot, I would immediately close it and look for alternatives. Makes it look like a 12-year-old made it. Might sound harsh, over-critical, whatever - but it doesn't matter. If you don't know why it's a terrible idea, you need to start seriously thinking about learning some decent application design.

Hate to say it, but PB is right. If i'm going to use an application like this, which is a tool that is an extension to my current set of already functional working environment, then it needs to be functional, simple, and small. I want, when I go to use it, to go bang, bang, bang, done. I want it to do what it is meant to be doing and not clutter up my work environment and brain with useless functions and abilities.

@ Striker: You mean like, start compiling at predefined time intervals?
Why would you want the scheduler to compile maps from different profiles? I mean, you're working on one project at a time.
@ Captain Terror: So instead of checking maps using the checkbox before each rmf item, you simply highlight the ones you wish to compile?
I actually like that. Im getting rid of the CheckedListBox and replace it with a normal ListBox.

Go ahead and try it out, i think there's a good chance that 3.8 will work just fine with the COmpilator. If not, tell me about it here.

Ok, ill try it again, after all the SDK was updated some time ago so hopefully this issue i was having (seen here and here, the seconds link explains it better) has been fixed by now.
Plus, thanks to Rabidmonkey, i now have an example of how a source batch file looks like so i know what parameters and variables it needs to compile properly. I have'nt tried compiling anything with that batch file yet, but i have high hopes it'll work.

Yes. But as you may know, the Source SDK is a broken down mess. Im not implementing Source support until Valve fixes it.
After many weeks of hard work, i can pretty much say that Compilator 3 is finished. There are probably still minor issues left here and there, but the that won't stop the application from doing its job.
So stay tuned, it won't be much longer.
