Okay stumped now. I can't get batch compiler working, nor can I get the compiler working in HAMMER. I installed HAMMER, then installed ZHLT 253. After seeing that here was a better custom one I overwrote the files with the 173 version. Batch compiler never saw a bcs file, even when I took off the .txt extension on it it gave me an error about expecting something or other at the start.
So, I figured, I'll just use HAMMER to compile. Pointed the builder and setups at the directories, and every time I get the same error. I end up with .map and .rmf files in the /valve hammer editor/maps and it stuff a copy of the .map in my /ns/maps directory.
I think I worked out some of the mistakes with my directories ( now pointing to /valve was one mistake. ) but I'm coming up with the same error. This is an old compile log (w/wrong directories that have since been fixed), don't have a new one with me atm, but the error is the same. "Unknown option"....gaaaaaaahhh!! WTH ?!?!?
I've tried uninstalling Hammer to go fresh, but it can't find the install.log to uninstall =\

Secondly it seems that you have cofigures your compileing wrongly so I suggest you read <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50171' target='_blank'>this</a> and <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60745' target='_blank'>this</a> very carefully, and make sure you follow every step.
