GTKradiant Network?

Post by AndyW »

Hi,
i tried google but didnt find anything.
Is it possible to "network" GTKradiant?
Like:
I want to work and do the editing stuff on one machine -but compiling & testing on another machine.
So that i just start the compile process on the same pc im working on -and the compile and autoload will be done from the other pc??? Maybe via wake up on lan?
Is there an easy way to realize something similar?
And no, im really not a network pro. If i plug in the LAN cable and everything works im happy with that... :sly:

Edit:
The Idea behind that is that i need to save power. My pc is running nearly 24/7. I want to build a small P4@3.2Ghz for editing and internet stuff and do the compiling and testing on my AthlonFX system (that i will use for unity stuff & photoshop too).

One way I can think of:
1. expose a networked folder as a shared partition so you can navigate there with a command prompt
2. in radiant, set up your compile batch files in a way that they copy the map source to the network share and post some kind of marker file
3. on your compiler computer, bring up taskschd.msc and set up a process that regularly checks for your marker file and runs the compile job (might loop over a directory to compiler whatever .map file is in there and then move it, etc.), and copy back the resulting bsp through a network share that's set up just like that, only that it resides on your editing computer
