The sourceforge page has an installer package for download. The QC capabilities are pretty good IMHO. Infact, I spent several weeks writing a parser and generator for every documented part of QC script (from the wiki, with some contributions in the process) - though, the functionality isn't all accessible in the GUI yet. The actual compiling is done through studiomdl. Compile processes are handled as jobs, containing items (of any buildable type) to be compiled. When the job executes, it will create separate threads for handling stdout for each studiomdl instance (it will run as many as you have logical cores, since studiomdl doesn't utilize multicore) in sequence. The GUI stays on it's own thread and the calling thread can optional block or not while the job runs. Ummm... what else. Oh, the output of each build process is cached and each job is displayed using a treeview in a single "build window" expanding a job shows the individual items. Double clicking an item shows the log and offers a button to save to file. For map build logs, the interlopers log scanner is accessed to give the user a more meaningfull (and pretty) log and error fixes. Currently buildable types are qc, tbd (a DT specific script for taking source images (of many format) and making a VTF), and VMF. The Build All toolbar button checks all the resources to see if their modified date is newer than the output, and adds it to the job if it's outdated.
Prolly a little more info than needed, but figured it might be of interest (and I like to brag, lol) > Date: Fri, 1 May 2009 22:15:16 -0400 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Cannonfodder's MDL compiler sources? > > I would help, but I really can't be bothered with CVS.
