Big Map Doesn't Fully Compile

So, I've been working on this big-ass map in Source. But due to the limitation of the camera, at any given time I can only see this much of the map (on its highest settings):This wouldn't be such a big deal if it weren't for the fact that only that much of the map is compiling.Why is it that only this chunk of the map is compiling?

I chose not to post the log since it was inconsistent every time I compiled the map, and I couldn't read too far into it about why only part of it was getting mentioned. I know it's currently plagued with errors, but none of them are indicative of why my map is compiling like this.

Ugh, post massive walls of text to pastebin or something, please.

You did have a leak error in there.
Load up the pointfile

The pointfile goes straight through a wall. But there couldn't be a leak because I've literally just put a regular hollowed cube around the entire map. The problem isn't that the compiling is getting halted, it's just that for some reason only PART of the map is being compiled.

Make sure your visgroups are all enabled when you compile.
Have you tried doing a full compile?
Alt-P checks out ok?
There's no giant groups anywhere?
Are the cordon bounds enabled?

Make sure your visgroups are all enabled when you compile.All but areaportals, which I'm positive aren't the cause of this.
Have you tried doing a full compile?I'm still gonna have to optimize my level before I want to attempt a full compile of this monstrosity.
Alt-P checks out ok?Yep.
There's no giant groups anywhere?Nope.
Are the cordon bounds enabled?Nope.
AAAA

Any giant brushes that you thought were entities but actually arent?

I've got a lot of displacements.
But not really any giant brushes that aren't entities, except the skybox which isn't rendering in its entirety.

I want to try and explain the predicament in more detail.
My map is this big.
However, only this much in it is visible in Hammer's 3d view, which translates to what is viewed on the 2d view.
And for some reason, only this bubble is being rendered.
The map has been getting leaks because it hasn't been recognizing the edges of the skybox.
How do I render the whole map, and not just this bubble from the 3d view?

Whatever that red circle is, delete it.

Whatever that red circle is, delete it.That's the render distance for the 3d view. I've looked through the options menu, but I couldn't find anything to disable it.

Well they're clearly related.
Try deselecting everything then hitting shift + c (camera tool) and then hit del.
Also try tapping '2' which should increase your back clipping plane if you're not at the max already.
Why either of these would be affecting your compile, i have no idea.

See if there's a "compile visible only" flag in your compile options.

Try deselecting everything then hitting shift + c (camera tool) and then hit del.Tried that with full compile, no success. That was the most of the map I managed to have compile, though.
Also try tapping '2' which should increase your back clipping plane if you're not at the max already.It's at max.
See if there's a "compile visible only" flag in your compile options.There isn't.

Is that some default thing? Can't copy everything over to a new map?

Oooh, good idea. I'll try that when I get ahold of some more free time.

Still no luck with this! Making a new map and copy-pasting everything has the same effect.
I'm going to try using an external compiler and see if that changes things. If that doesn't work, I must just try and hand out the .vmf and see if I could get some help fixing it.
Yep. Compiler did no good. If anyone's got any ideas on what's wrong with the map, I'm giving away the .vmf. Yoink!

Have you tried to turn off radius culling? It's the "R"-in-a-red-circle button at the top toolbar. Allways have it off.

I turned off radius culling. The entirety of the map was still not compiled, though.
