Right, im taking this as your first map (Please excuse me if im wrong)
First of all, the textures you've made are ok, its good to see some sort of custom textures
However, when ive looked into your map i noticed you only used Vod.Wad and cs_Assault.wad which is ok. Just a tip, to find out what textures are being used in your map, when your map is open go to Map and then Show Information , this will then show you a list of .WADS your map is using
When i looked into your rmf... i noticed that there was just one big block in your map that covered the whole map. I was guessing this was meant to be the floor... walls and ceiling. This could have been one of the errors straight away.Next time make the walls / floors / ceilings out of individual blocks.
Next, you need to put more lighting in, due to the textures being black with designs on them makes it a bit darker already, but there is little lighting. I would suggest reading BJ's tutorial on Lighting, it can be found from the link below : http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=51
Also, you should think about re-sizing your map, its way to big for what its suppose to be, also it slows down the compile time
Right now for the good stuff
Ive spend a little time fixing up your map, such as:
*Making the walls / ceiling and floor out of individual blocks *Fixing some of the ramps of your map *Ive fitted some textures (The Dedication texture)
Ive succesffully compiled your map and it works fine. The error I encountered was
Warning: ::FindTexture() texture VOD not found! Warning: ::FindTexture() texture -GROUND not found! Warning: ::FindTexture() texture VOD2 not found! Warning: ::FindTexture() texture DEDICATE not found! Warning: ::LoadLump() texture -GROUND not found! Warning: ::LoadLump() texture DEDICATE not found! Warning: ::LoadLump() texture VOD not found! Warning: ::LoadLump() texture VOD2 not found!
This occured because you edited the .WAD as you went along, which confuses Hammer. I fixed this by simply re-texturing all the textures that were mentioned in the error.

in vault item: Leak, help pleaseComment #13564
Manicantdothis,
Im assuming this is your first map (Please excuse me if im wrong!)
First of all if this is your first map its good, from a quick whizz round the map i noticed some teleports and some bits of detail
Also, i think it looks like some of those vents / corridors are hollowed out boxes ?. You should just make them with 4 brushes inside of hollowing the box.
Leaks are one (if not the) most common error when mapping. If this is your first map i suggest reading up some tutorials on how to fix the leak, a good site which has different methods is: http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=leaks
Right. ive successfully compiled your map with no leak errors. The .BSP, .MAP and .RMF are in the attached file
What i think was causing this error was that you had some brushes that were tied to Func_wall and were exposed to the 'Void' and hence the Leak error
I fixed this by simply selecting each of the outer walls of your map and making them To World
Yes, im using hammer 3.5, but its weird that it even opened for you for a few minutes, mine didnt even open
Any suggestions on how i can sort this problem ?

Finally, the .BSP can be downloaded from the link below :

Sorry about the long-winded comment, but im sure this will help you in the future of mapping
Welcome to TWHL Maj.Bromley
Ill happily send the files to you

Enjoy !
I think its superb how the orb interacts with the level itself, such as going into the vents
Ive also looked at the .rmf and Woah ! that entity work is very complex
