Postcompiler fix
Postcompiler is a program included in 
TeamSpen's Hammer Addons, however with how Compile Pal is designed, it cannot be ran natively with how a user would normally install Compile Pal. Here are some steps to fix this.
First, install Compile Pal directly into your game's 
bin folder. After this, run Compile Pal. Select the desired preset and click the + to the right of the Processes text and click CUSTOM. Next, click the + to the right of Parameters, and put the path to the postcompiler (e.g. 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal 2\bin\postcompiler\postcompiler.exe). In the arguments section, put the following: --propcombine "$path\$file" -game "$gamedir". Finally, in the order tab, drag postcompiler.exe below VBSP and above VVIS.
