# VPC notes ## loading order default.vgc is always loaded first. this sucks and isnt super ideal but its easy to change. default.vgc defines game strings you can pass to vpc 'vpc /gamestr' to pick which conditional gets set. default.vgc loads groups and projects (all) gotcha: VPC seems to ignore VPCs not in a group (thus no sln), even when in a project unless you force generate them.. ## adding new junk that you want to generate projects for 1. create your custom vpc 2. (Optional) add the vpc $Project to a group in your group file (see default.vgc) 3. run 'vpc +ProjectName' to make it spit out vcxprojs. if it cant find your 'ProjectName', you may need to add the vpc to your project file in default.vgc. 4. if you want to create a solution for a group (or single project for some wacky reason) pass '/mksln ' to vpc ### File paths _Adding_: $Folder has no effect on path when trying to find $File. it is solely for creating 'filters' in the VS project. _Removing_: You must recreate the $Folder structure that was used when adding or else it wont actually remove shit!! eg. $Folder "HL2MP" { -$File "hl2mp\hl2mp_client.cpp" } If you just try: -$File "hl2mp\hl2mp_client.cpp" It wont fucking work
