    Ooh, I never thought of that. Good idea.

    Here's a link explaining how to add stuff to context menus so people can replicate it

    Also, I had to make mine use the source sdk environment variable or it couldn't find the tools. Not sure how you've got yours set up but this worked for me.

    Quote

    %sourcesdk%/bin/vbsp.exe %1%sourcesdk%/bin/vvis.exe -fast %1

    %sourcesdk%/bin/vrad.exe -ldr -fast %1

    pause

    Here's a load of pre-made .bat files people can drop them straight into their tools/bin dir : I also included 1 threaded versions for people that like to keep one core spare. My opteron grinds to a halt if I'm compiling with both cores, but if I run it with one thread I can keep mapping / doing other stuff in the meantime.

    Download them from here.

    I spy BF2 on the desktop!

    Mine are in the bin folder too, but it doesn't work for me for whatever reason.

    maybe because i included the %sourcesdk%/bin folder to the windows PATH variable too

    yall are too fancy. So no one messes with Rad settings anymore to get more gamma or something?

    I tried various RAD settings and came to the conclusion that most of them don't seem to do anything these days
