Postcompiler fix

Postcompiler is a program included in TeamSpen's Hammer Addons 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.
