Terminology
For the purposes of this post, consider the following synonyms of each other: compiler parameter, command-line parameter, command-line argument, switch, option
So, two questions...
1. What does the undocumented "-bct" compiler parameter do?
2. Is there a compiler parameter to disable broadcasting while doing a compile/run.
Reason behind the second question...
I find it annoying that the "agkcompiler.exe" ALWAYS tries to broadcast the project, even when my intention is to just do a quick compile/run locally on the PC.
About my IDE (for some background, you may skip this)
I am not using the default Tier 1 IDE. It doesn't have most of the features I like. One of the more important ones being manual code-folding, and cliptext libraries...
In my preferred editor, which I have heavily customized, I could easily setup a "user-tool" configuration with a command-line parameter that disables broadcasting while compiling, but there does NOT appear to be such a command-line parameter built into "agkcompiler.exe", is there?
The automatic broadcasting step also takes forever (well, several seconds) to end, even if it was needed or not - and no matter where it was started from.
Feature request time!
Can we have a new command-line parameter for the Tier-1 compiler just to make it NOT broadcast when doing a compile/run (eg. "agkcompiler -run main.agc").
The new parameter could be called "-nobc", for example.
So, the command to compile and run a project, without broadcasting, would be:
"agkcompiler -nobc -run main.agc".
That would be great.
I'll add this to the issue board as a request, but I thought I'd include it here for the purposes of discussion.
Cheers,
