lol.
If deleting half the map works, then the problem lies within the mapping.

Split the map in two and compile both sides, do they both compile?

i found out that cones are causing the compiling error... but it doesnt really make sense. in futile i have like a million cones... is there like a material limit?

Cones and other brush patches aren't designed perfectly. In CoD1 there are a lot of bugs concerning them. I don't think the developers changed much to CoD2 and CoD4 Radiant.

Probably your cone has too many verticles.

Cones are shit.

Also, lightmaps may need adjusting (CTR+L)
