    Ok, so I want to use several computers at once to compile my map. According to Valve, this is completely possible by using "VMPI". When looking for VMPI, I found that indeed it does not exist. After looking around the internet for way too long, I found that if you created a new mod via the SDK, it would create a new folder with all the available tools and whatnot, VMPI being one of these. Of course, it's not a exe file, it's 17 different .h files.

    Anybody have any ideas how I should get this to work? This is almost more frustrating than attempting to compile HL2 models

    i think valve had some copyright issues and couldnt give out the tool. Only part of the sourcecode was included with the sdk AFAIK

    Oh. Well that sucks

    Guess I'll keep throwing hintbrushes at the map.
