Iv tried loads of things. like replacing some textures, changing the map into a big leak, removing all entities except plater dm, changing the light environment pitch and so on.... no progres!

don't double post.

You forgot to tell us what that new problem is. Your compile log looks fine to me, though.

The problem is that there is a problem which doesnt say whats the problem.

(svencoop keeps on shutting down when i try to go in my map and gives no errors)

i uploaded a bsp of my map to filefront.

here it is: http://files.filefront.com//;8059012;;/

PLZ HELP!

How exactly do you expect people to help you by submitting a BSP file which gives an unknown error? Do you think that someone else's computer will magically give a useful error message?
The map file would probably be more useful, as well as giving a detailed description of what changes you made to the map since it last compiled properly. That is, if you compile often...

okay... here is the rmf.

http://files.filefront.com//;8059163;;/

I get this error.

It's the kind of thing that can make the game crash.

big edit:

OMG.... ALL I DONE TO MAKE IT WORK IS, COPY ALL THE BRUSHES, THEN PASTE THEM INTO A NEW MAP AND ITS WORKING!!!

but thank you all guys for help, knowing this might also help you

We have a problem maps vault for a reason...
