Loading Problems (CS:S)

Right i've just started making a new map, its got a sky box, light_environment, a small building, a CT spawn point, a T spawn point, buyzones and a bomb site.

But when i load the map from both the console and the create server area the map begins to load but then the game just crashed and shuts down.

This has not happened to me before, i have 2 other working maps and the maps which come with CSS work.

So whats the problem, i checked the Compiling Log and the only errors were some models which don't load. But everything else seems fine.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Post your compile log - lots of times people miss things. Chances are I think you will have a similar problem like this guy:

I even ran it on Fast Vis like u suggested the guy on that link u gave me should do, but it still doesn't work.

I don't know why...but vis isn't even getting done here. Alls I can
suggest is try compiling the map on full vis. Now if you come back and
tell me that full vis takes to long, then you need to do some
optimization of vis before continuing.

Edit:

Here is a great place to read up on optimization of vis:

**** leaked ****
Entity prop_static (308.00 -501.00 55.00) leaked!

You have a leak, and it's almost definitely the source of all your problems. It's why VIS isn't running and why CS:S crashes on map load - it can't optimize your map because of the leak. Read this article on the Valve wiki for more information and how to fix it: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Leak

Damn how did I miss that?!

Well i fixed the leaks, but it still does not work.

But i am unsure how i'd set it to use Full Vis, all i can see is Fast Vis.

Uh huh. How about reposting the newer log and letting our eyes behold the wonders?

Sometimes, as Master Omega so aptly displayed, more eyes = better results.

The best things in life, aren't things.

Wait i fixed it.

It was something to do with me not doing a set of glass properly, i tried to make that glass which you can shoot then crawl through, but when i removed it the map worked.

Thanx for everyones help!
