<div class="IPBDescription">Yea</div> Erm how to?
i got the batch compiler from the above tutorial and yes i read it and set everything up.
Still waiting for the next tutorial though : / on how to compile them but meh.

So how then. i got .rmfs and .maps got the compiler but it aint compiling, says check the log, log has nothing useful in it. can you just give me a walk through of what i need to do please?

    If you're using Hammer, go to File > Export to .MAP. Save it as a map, then tell Batch Compiler to compile the .map. I assume it's all set up since you followed that tutorial, so then you can just enter any options you want (make sure to check CSG, BSP, VIS and RAD on the right) and then press the Go button.

    Try compiling with the -wadautodetect switch for CSG.

    DO NOT place a big box around your map. Find the leak and fix it. If you put a big box outside of your map, the following will happen:

    1. All your resources will be eaten. Your patches, lightdata, leaves, faces, etc will all be used up because of that box.

    2. It will lag. The outsides of your map will still be rendered, so now the engine has to render twice the amount of polies.

    3. If it's ns_, the commander won't be able to see through the ceiling.

    There are several good tutorials on fixing leaks.

    As for the timer, I think you'd use a trigger_random, max fire time 0, minimum fire time 0, that targets a multimanager which in turn targets whatever you want after x amount of seconds. I think. I'm not sure however.

    You're asking for help for a CS map in an NS forum? Maybe you should go somewhere else for help with that, I don't think there are many people here familiar with CS's FGD.

    Read tutorials.
