How To...

Pithlit

<div class="IPBDescription"> incorporate textures in teh bsp</div> I heard this is possible, so clients dont have download extra .wads
And all textures used are stored in the bsp.
This has to be some sort of compiler option, but i cant find it, cann someone tell me pls?

Basically, it's:
hlcsg -wadinclude wadname.wad

Wolv

"-wadinclude [wadname]", without the quotes and the brackets.

Also: ZHLT does a partial path match on the information after -wadinclude so if all your custom texture files are in a single folder, without non-custom texture files in that folder, you could enter that folders name instead of each .wad files name.

Do the wads i want to include have to be in a special forlder for this or does the compiler knows where they are from using them?

i believe that it automatically searches the folder that hlcsg is running from and the sub-folders. But they are in a different location alltogether, you'll have to specify the path.

Just the wadname will do. Using the folder name instead of the wadname is an alternative method, which will wadinclude all used .wad files in that folder, but it's not necesery.
Hammer writes the paths to the .wad files into the .map file, so hlcsg already knows where all the wadfiles are.

If you use Nem's batch compiler (which is quite an excellent tool) there is an option where you can just browse for which wads to include into the .bsp. It's a little easier.
