Add a Feature to Make Textures Weld Into Maps

[ToxicHolyGrenade]

Ever since I was attempting to run the retail maps of Half-Life on the 0.52 prototype, I was thinking of an idea to 'weld/bake' textures into a specific BSP map, like most of the Half-Life retail maps do, e.g c0a0. In other words, make the maps have textures without having the need to use .wad files. What do you think W00tguy?

That can be done with the -textureimport option of ripent. I think Karaulov also added that feature to the master branch here.

The master branch? How do I get to use it?

You'd need to build the source code.

Unfortunately, despite following exactly what has been said in the instructions, I ran into this error when I typed in and entered "cmake .." To be quite honest with you, I don't think this is the right way to do it. Probably the instructions need to be reworked for the most part.

C:\bspguy-master\build>cmake ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:8 (project):

'nmake' '-?'

failed with:

I don't know what's wrong but I guess something went wrong with the visual studio install. It looks like CMake can't find the compliers.

I'd try this to force it to configure for VS instead of NMake:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" ..

[ToxicHolyGrenade]

Sadly, it resulted in this error too.

C:\bspguy-master\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:8 (project):

could not find any instance of Visual Studio.

You're sure you installed the "Desktop development with C++" component of Visual Studio? You might need to reboot before it works.

[ToxicHolyGrenade]

To be honest, I looked through the three versions, Enterprise, Community, and Professional, but all three doesn't have the "Desktop development with C++" section.

[wootguy]

Alright, run the community installer again. You should see something like this:

Click "Modify" on your install and you should see the C++ option there:

Okay, I found it. :)

But now I've ran into this error here.

"glfw3.lib(input.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_strspn referenced in function glfwUpdateGamepadM

I guess something changed in the new version of GLFW. Try this one:

[ToxicHolyGrenade]

Yup, this time it all worked. Thanks for the help BTW. :)
