in powershell you just have to start with ./
otherwise it ignores programs in the folder you're working in

After reading, its still unclear what the performance benefit is if comparing between Bz2 vs BSPzip, if any compression difference.
would you consider adding some more information on that?
or have i misunderstood, and that in fact "uncompressed" maps does also includes .Bz2?

These days, just use the repack command for the map.

do you need to do this for every update of a Map?
Yes, because you're either replacing the bsp with a full compile or adding new information to it that needs to be compressed. And if you're making a new version, an entirely new bsp.

Where does the Compressed BSP go? because for me its not really decreasing the File Size,
even though ingame it says i Successfully Compressed the Map

File stays within the same place. If it doesnt decrease, its either already packed or you did something wrong. Usually filesize decreases 40-80%. If you have a lot of models or the map isnt at final stages, its going to be less than more.

i compiled the Map with CompilePal before i repacked, that might be why

CompilePal has a built-in repack function, presumably you left that enabled and the map was already repacked.

You already did, is what Spud is saying. This is as small as it's gonna get.
