Half-Life Alpha 0.52 Map compilers

[Dermoker]

These are a set of modified VHLT compilers I did to output BSP with Alpha version number (v29).

To use; Make new game config and target it to use ALPHA(csg, bsp, vis and rad) exes

In compiling go to advanced compiling, and set -nowadtextures as CSG parameter (this is really important! otherwise the map will crash the game!).

Be sure to put game exe in game config as enginegl.exe, or if you have engine.exe set up correctly use that paired with -startwindowed.

pretty much only advantages are that now you don't need the prospero folder and you don't need to hex edit the bsp everytime you need to playtest.

Sounds, Fun. How'd you do that?

i hope i didn't do anything that broke the compiling otherwise i'll have to go back using the "prospero" folder for compiling Maps.

Your args are all wrong. It's trying to compile the exe, not your map.

Fun fact you can add the alpha maps in final version
