Overview
A custom Batch Compiler with useful features.
Introduction
CS:GO and L4D2 Hammer editor run the build programs outside of hammer to prevent CPU lag.
SDK 2013 Hammer has still the old sdk 2007 compile system. This is a tool like vbct, or Nem’s Batch Compiler which runs the build programs from a batch file. Please read the manual for instructions how to fix eventual errors and report any bugs/errors/suggestions.

If you receive any error when opening the executable, you might need the “Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0: Run-Time Redistribution Pack” which you can download here:
Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0: Run-Time Redistribution Pack (vbrun60sp6.exe)[www.microsoft.com]
