You can compile QCs directly from Notepad++ with the NppExec plugin. Install it either from Plugins > Plugin Manager or by downloading directly from SourceForge.
With NppExec installed, press F6 and enter the following command. Change the path to studiomdl to match your system and your target engine branch:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\alien swarm\bin\studiomdl.exe" -nop4 -r "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Press OK to compile.
