there is no command. you simple take the .bsp file and drag it onto the ResGen icon and it'll generate it

n nHOLY HELL !!... this is horribly untrue ... there are MANY flags that can be used with RESGEN ... and creating a batch file is by far the best way to go to get what you want done ... n ndragging the map onto the exe is just a simple way of using the default settings on one map... what would you do if you had 800+, drag them on one by one? what would you do if you had 800+ maps but had some done already but you want to overwrite those existing res files ? What if you wanted to verify the files actually existed on your pc ?? All of these scenarios are possible through the use of the command line...n n

n nI agree you CAN drop all 800 onto the exe file itself... IF you want the default settings.. but there are options... thats all I am getting at...

Copy the RESGen.exe, paste it into your map folder with the .bsp, drag the bsp into it, then delete the RESGen.exe copy.
