Heads up and information before starting

Note:This tutorial does not go in depth about what HTCT is, you can find out about that Here

Quick summary: HTCT was developed by Darthkillyou Since this was created as an internal tool for Hazard Course, it works perfectly for Black Mesa.

Download and setting up

Download the software from one of these 2 places:

HTCT v0.6.0 BETA download link
Note: Chrome may mark the download as 'dangerous' due to low download activity -- it is not dangerous.
HTCT v0.5.0 Download @ TheRaZZeRApp

The next step will be extracting the zip file, place the folder anywhere as-long as it is easy to access.

Run htct.exe, if you get an anti-virus popup, press continue. Configure as following:

Option	Needed input
Enter your path to your steam directory:	You may keep the default one if it is correct.
Choose SDK version to use:	Black Mesa
Choose game configuration:	Black Mesa
Remember compile queue:	This is personal preference

Example Setup of htct

Once setup, you should see a window open, this is your main interface you will be using.

Warning:Editing presets is not recommended unless you are familiar with advanced compiling, creating new presets is fine.

And the last button is the select preset button which allows you to select a preset to use for the compile of your map(s)

At the bottom of the main interface you will see a Map Source FIles list, to add your vmfs to the compile queue, simply press the add button

Todo: Maybe showcase the compile window?

Some compiles may take a VERY long time, especially the final compiles so only do these once you are ready to publish your map!
