Using the tool

The main interface

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

• The top settings button allows you to change the configuration if needed
• The Edit Presets button allows you to edit the presets.

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)

Starting a compile

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

• Once at-least one vmf has been added you can start the compile!

Todo: Maybe showcase the compile window?
