skip vis compile - no leak

[ViPER]

someone posted an alternative method to skip the vis stage compile without having to put a leak in the skybox. Something to do with a dummy folder.

Can some one point me to it?? I cant seem to find it.

Thanks.

Here is a fast way to compile that does not need a hole in the skybox to work.

Add log paths to the vis and light compile options, only have them go to a folder that does NOT exsist! That will cause both vis and light compiles to be skipped.

examples:

BSP
-v

VIS
-fast > C:\notafolder\vis_log.txt

LIGHT
> C:\notafolder\light_log.txt

Using this method, a map that normally took 30 min to compile with -v, -fast, [nothing in light], took less than a minute to compile!
