comp_vactube failed in compiler saying no objects are registered even though they are

[SenseiUsagi]

I hope I am not stupid or this is a duplicate issue but when compiling I get an error saying "ValueError: Node <Spawner "Vac_Test_Start" @ -256 -256 -184, 270 0 0> uses group "vac_test", which has no objects registered!" even though I have comp_vactube_objects set with that group.

Github doesnt allow me to upload the log file for some reason so I have pasted the last few lines of it here:

That is odd, try lowercasing and ensuring they're exactly identical? You can also leave them blank, "" is the default group.

[SenseiUsagi]

A lowercase group name fixed it on one of my maps, but on a different one the vac tubes objects dont show up at all for some reason. I have activation mode set to auto timer in both instances

[SenseiUsagi]

Ok it seems that the newly created bsp map file doesnt get correctly launched in the game? It seems any changes I make to my map are not present when the map gets automatically launched after compiling (I actually remember having this issue before but dont know remember how to fix it)

Anyway for the sake of this issue: Having a lowercase group name fixed it for me
