Any alternative to vide for packing a bsp?

cursive patrol
#

Yes

muted gate
#

vide should work but compilepal is much better

cursive patrol
#

Really? I did not know you can use compilepal to pack content in a BSP

muted gate
#

Yep you can,

Interesting alright thank you.

muted gate
#

iirc it just has a pack checkbox next to all the other compile options, so you can just unselect everything apart from that

cursive patrol
#

Wait so how do I pack the BSP in compile pal?

void python
#

Compilepal uses bspzip to pack; are you on the default branch or the 64-bit branch? 64-bit branch lacks bspzip, last I heard

Okay so I used vide to pack my map and It worked, but the issue I have is when I try to run the map in Hammer all of the MB of the materials and other things I packed the map will go all the way down to zero.

#

was there something I did wrong or?

void python
#

you recompiled the map, thereby deleting the map that had packed assets 🤦

yeah if you just want to run the map after packing, load it manually in-game
don't use Hammer as a launcher if you don't need to recompile
or in this case, shouldn't

how?

muted gate
#

it's an application that you can install

#

it has instructions somewhere

brittle canopy
#

ye ik i use compilepal but i didn't know you can auto pack content HUH

muted gate
#

I think it's fairly obvious, it just says pack, and you select it and it straight up does everything for you

brittle canopy
#

idk i don't see any pack option?

#

i'm blind?

#

oh

#

old version xd

muted gate
#

yeah I was gonna load it up and check for myself but it is not even launching for me lol

brittle canopy
#

bro

#

#

muted gate
#

lmao that would probably explain it

brittle canopy
#

weird

#

#

wha i do

#

#

#

#

#

doesn't seem to zip it

void python
#

It says incompatible because the 64-bit version of gmod lacks bspzip

brittle canopy
#

wym

brittle canopy
void python
#

Then go ahead and try it.

brittle canopy
#

the pack thing works

#

repack/bspzip doesn't

#

filezile doesn't change

#

size8

void python
#

gmod doesn't support compressed BSPs for some dumb reason

brittle canopy
#

no i mean

#

i can manually do it

#

with the bspzip.exe

#

but in compilepal it don't do the do

void python
#

wierd
