Mapbase has its own custom map compilers. In order to compile maps in Mapbase, users are required to use either Mapbase's custom map compilers or [Slartibarty's Slammin' Source mapping tools](https://knockout.chat/thread/992/1). This is because both sets of tools have the required adjustments to recognize custom shaders, but the original Source 2013 compilers do not.
**The recommended setup for compiling maps in Mapbase is to use Mapbase's custom `vbsp.exe` while using Slammin' Source for all of the other tools.** This is because Mapbase's VRAD, VVIS, etc. are barely different from Source 2013's regular compilers while Slammin' Source's tools are much more powerful and advanced. Mapbase's VBSP is an exception; it supports almost everything Slammin' Source's VBSP supports *and* supports features unique to Mapbase, like parallax corrected cubemaps or the `buildcubemaps` fix.

Here's an actual list of changes Mapbase makes to the compile tools:
### All
* Thread limit has been boosted to 32 as suggested in [the famous debug counter fix](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/pull/436)
### VBSP
* Removed warnings for occluders straddling multiple brushes, as this is believed to have only been a problem in 2004-2006 versions of Source
* Fixed func_detail smoothing groups (from [ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013 #391](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/pull/391))
* Applied various manifest fixes (from [DeathByNukes/source-sdk-2013](https://github.com/DeathByNukes/source-sdk-2013))
* Allowed all models with `$staticprop` to be used as `prop_static` (replicated from Slammin' Source)
* Parallax corrected cubemap support (from [the VDC article](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Parallax_Corrected_Cubemaps))
* `-leaktest` enabled by default and replaced with a `-noleaktest` command (replicated from Slammin' Source)
* `%compileNoShadows` command (replicated from Slammin' Source)
* Areaportal leaks terminate VBSP, just like regular leak testing (disabled when `-noleaktest` is used)
* Default cubemaps not generated by default due to an in-shader alternative used by Mapbase; new `-defaultcubemap` command to reinstate behavior (was previously just `-nodefaultcubemap`, which was replicated from Slammin' Source)
* Raised limits based on research from ficool2:
* Raised maximum VBSP entities from 8192 to 65536
* Raised maximum VBSP worldlights from 8192 to 65536
* Raised maximum VBSP overlays from 512 to 8192
### VVIS
* N/A
### VRAD
* Fixed useless debug counter (from [the famous debug counter fix](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/pull/436))
