Hi again... seems like the issue has something to do with the shadercompile.exe from the SDK. The final command which eats up the whole cpu is: D:\PROGRA~1\Steam\STEAMA~1\my_username\SOURCE~2\bin\ORANGE~1\bin\shadercompile.exe -nompi -nop4 -game "D:\progra~1\steam\steama~1\source~1\my_mod" -shaderpath "E:\dev\mod\src\materialsystem\stdshaders"
I added a "-verbose" to get a look what's going on there. shadercompile.exe first copies some steamfiles (tier0.dll, etc), some .h files and all the fxc files in stdshaders to temporary folder on the c: drive. Then the output where I think it's doing something wrong.

But the process never appears in the task manager or in process explorer. The output.txt is also never created. I hate it, that this tool is lacking documentation. :( Ideas? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
