Profiles and Batch Builds

This feature is to be introduced in Gaea 2.1 (ETA February 2025)

Build Profiles let you save all Build Settings in a named preset. If you find yourself creating multiple versions of your terrain, or creating different output types, you can switch between the different build settings swiftly with Profiles.

The Profiles tab lets you preview and manage profiles.

Using Profiles

To create a profile:

• Open Build Settings.

• Select the settings you want for a profile

• Go to the Profiles tab and click Save Profile.

The "Load" button imports the selected build profile into the current build settings.

The "Save As..." button allows you to create a new build profile based on the current build settings.

The "Delete" button removes the currently selected build profile.

Use ASCII-friendly names for the profile as you may wish to use them in command line or Batch executions.

Running Batch Builds

You can execute multiple builds using saved profiles using the Batch Builds dialog. Go to Build menu > Batch Builds to open the dialog.

Queue the different profiles you want to build and execute the batch. You can also save the batch as a .bat file for later execution or modification.

The -profile <name> or -p <name> argument can be used to specify a profile during a Build Swarm execution. It is recommended that the <name> be wrapped in "" quotation marks to prevent incorrect parsing.
