For starters, I set this under Compiling because thats what made most sense, even though my compile log had no problems.

This is my second day and my map is progressing well. I ran it multiple times before to test for lighting and had no problems, aside from no lights, but that's a different story. I ended up getting the lights to a "satisfactory" stage, then continued to create a very basic skybox and add some assorted junk like crates and busted up cars. Unfortunetly the next time I ran it, I got the error message:

"Invalid Count-Terrorist Spawn Point at (whole bunch of coordinates" five times and:

"Invalid Terrorist Spawn Point at (whole bunch of coordinates)" five times

When I tried to join a team it said both were full even though no one else was in the game. Because of what I had heard, I spread out the spawn points and tried again, yet the same 10 error messages came up, any ideas?

Double-check your info_player_start entity. Is it placed outside the skybox area? [addsig]

Don't know if this will give anyone some ideas because I am still stuck and its really annoying.

either delete it or move it inside your map.

like it says use it as a prop_physics and tell it in the settings not to move

This model isnt suppost to be used with static, use it with a prop_dynamic

I take it you want to use the ammo crate as a model then turn it into a prop_dynamic, or make it one of the override ents.

As for the spawns make sure they are high up enough off the ground, you shouldnt have to do anything else.

I went back on to try and do what I was told and the following happened:

Didn't understand what a leak was, why I had one or how to fix one.

Didn't understand how an object could be outside my map if it was inside the skybox and above my ground floor.

I fixed the problems with my prop_static and prop_dynamic and that all worked out fine.

I then moved the spawn points up in hopes to make those work.

When I compiled it again I ended up with my props all fixed, but still had problems with the "invalid spawn point" error messages. I am dying here, anyone else have any ideas why I am having these kinds of problems

Most invalid spawn points come from placing the info_terrorist/ct too close to the floor. If you watch the game carefully, you'll see that most creatures spawn above the floor and drop to it. Set your spawn point above the floor. The figures should "hover" say ten units above the floor.
