NSLOC Readme

To install NSLOC, copy nsloc.exe to your tools directory (where hlcsg.exe, etc. are). Then, add a call to NSLOC before hlcsg in your compile settings:

Example compile settings

When you compile your map, NSLOC will save a copy of your map file as mapname.loc and output a modified mapname.map. This modified map file will have all info_location entities shrunk to an 8x8 cube at the centre of the map. They will also have the appropriate keyvalues added to enable level-over-level location names.

Commandline Parameters

nsloc.exe [-dev x] [-verbose] [-nolog] [-nonulltex] mapname

-dev x        This sets the level of developer messages that should
              be displayed.
-verbose      This enables verbose output.
-nolog        This disables logging to a text file.
-nonulltex    This textures info_location brushes with AAATRIGGER instead
              of NULL.  Useful if you arn't using the latest compile tools.
