DrSquishy submitted a new resource:

BPPU packing tool - A commandline tool for packing maps, written in python

Written in python3, I've aimed to create a commandline packing tool that can be used on both linux and windows. See the README for information on formatting the various config files, for a list of all arguments that can be passed in, and what to do for some errors encountered.

Python3 is required for this to work, however no external libraries are needed.

Text files can be created, containing authors for assets. These can exist in the program's directory or...

DrSquishy updated BPPU packing tool with a new update entry:

Miscellaneous fixes + compilepal integration

Started work on this a few months ago but got distracted.
This contains various fixes to packing and parsing, removes the -noauto, -file, -dir parameters, and adds CompilePal integration.

To use with CompilePal: place the BPPU folder in CompilePal/Parameters/ such that the folder structure is /Parameters/BPPU/bppu.py.
This acts to replace the built-in packing for CompilePal, so remove the pack step and add the BPPU step instead. Thank you to Exactol for the help with this.

I hit a few hiccups getting this to work in my environment, but I did manage to get it working! You're a real lifesaver for us Linux peasants!

See below for issue reports on the two bugs encountered thus far:
  1. Crash if tf/particles directory does not exist (it did not exist on my native Linux install of TF2 w/ hammer files copied from a fresh invocation of download_depot 440 232251)
    • Workaround: Manually created an empty tf/particles directory
    • Trace:

Glad to hear it's been helpful for you.
Thanks for the issue reporting, I'm currently getting repacking (.bsp compression) working and I'll get these fixes in with the next update alongside countless other bugs that I've found while using it myself
