Isn't there a way to know which program uses other programs? Cause everytime something like this happens I can't help but say to myself "Yes but WHAT PROGRAM?"

Google? File unlocker or sometime.

By checking the old fteQCC program that's still lying there, it says the one program that's locking is System.
Oh...
This doesn't sound good at all, doesn't it? Especially unlocking fteQCC would mean to close System as well...
I also checked the fte compilers I downloaded earlier this day and it says they aren't locked. However when I execute them System locks them away.
Is there anything I can do about this?

The compiler is just one small program though that gathers up your qc files and spits out a progs.dat.
I tend to have multiple copies (one per project) of it all over the place just for convenience.
Even so, this sounds like OS crap. Are you using something toxic like Vista or something? If not, what about your antivirus or possibly DeepGuard - even spyware scanners can lock up a potentially dangerous program (for example, one which compiles files from others...)

I heard the management finally lost their sense of humour over his ol' poo-in-the-urinal trick, so gave him the heave. Could be just a rumour, but sources, you know.

I'm using W8.1, and Avast as my antivirus. I don't use DeepGuard.
Though about LockHunter, I just realized there's a "Other" tab, and inside there's "Terminate locking process". I don't know if I should do that, maybe that could imply closing System or do something bad in the process...

You're aware that Windows Task Manager have a "programs" tab and a "process" tab, right? Maybe fteqcc shows as a "process" you can kill.
 HOLY SHIT

My best bud suggested to add the filepath of my mod to the exceptions of my antivirus and IT WORKED

Most anti-virus are more trouble than they're worth. Internet is the source of most problems and can easily be avoided by just using your head about what you do there. All I use is built in Windows Defender because it rarely screws stuff up, but the browser has NoScript, Ghostery, etc, including a really big hosts file.

Someone mentionned that we got better tools, including better sunlight. I assume this refers to ericw's new light compiler tool, with sunlight_2.
If this is true, does that mean the following screenshot is history, and we can finally get legit outdoor areas with just sunlight?

Why is it so hard to find local people interested in working with game development?
I mean, interested in WORKING. When I interview potential teammates, if I ask what "living a good life" means to them, the answers boils down to "buying lots of things". Not to creating a good work. Not to being proud of their skills. Not to making a difference. They just want to consume and die.
Holy fuck, this is frustrating.

But since we're likely not locals...

I think people who are interested in working on a non contributing thing like game devolepment do remember their efforts lie on the side of pleasure.
With non contributing I mean the urge for money, as with every task in the sense of time surviving.
Having a job that satisfies and gives reliable lifestandard is a good thing.
Working in game development for me is a hobby and I don't think if I would earn money with it my fantasy would continue long. (.)
When I am playing a game I don't need to think, don't have to do that input to solve problems and my only skills are winning the game.
It is like scraps, concepts that bear a good intention, a good start but were thrown apart by lack of involvement. That's frustrating.
