I ran your map through interlopers and this is what I found

Cluster portals saw into portal:

Description:
(I think) vbsp.exe has made a concave leaf (or in other ways invalid) that can see into itself. I've also heard about this being caused by overlapping brushes or brushes that are off-grid (thuss causing offgrid visleafs). Allthough i find this unlikely, I am not sure if it isn't, so keep those possibilities open too.

Solution:
The solution is to simplify your leafs (func_detail) as much as possible to avoid this error, but usually (or sometimes) you will find no bad things come from it and your map runs as it should. If you got unexpected low FPS somewhere, this may be the cause. Finding it may be hard, and usually ends up in using cordon tools or just not doing it at all. First look at complicated parts of your map, try to use glview glview to find it.

Zero area child patch

Description:
A solid in your level has a face with no area. My guess is that vrad.exe is trying to create a lightmap for a face that doesn't exist. Maybe you have an invalid brush?

Solution:
First check Hammers problemchecker (alt+p). If that doesn't solve your problems, you can either ignore the error, or try to find it anyway using cordon tools. You would be looking for brushes which might be too complex. I wouldn't recommend the second option.

Also double check the placement of your spawn points they may be in the ground and therefore they will not work.

Hope this helps.

I ran the map after it was done compiling, and there were some things that had a purple tint to it, what would cause that you think? what would cause an invaild brush?

Cluster portals is not a good thing at all. The most I've ever had is 2 in a compile and I fixed them by the cordon tools to track them down. func_detail has nothing to do with it, in fact it would help. If you have two or more brushes overlapping (more so if they are complex, carved, made hollow) it will do this. If you make any detail brushes be it normal or complex and they have to overlap a normal brush, make them a func_detail and they don't get used when the map get's cut up by bsp or vis. But remember, func_brushes do not count as a brush for vis so they it can not be used to block off area's for vis. I'm also guessing your zero area child patch is linked to these cluster portals. Its fine to have 1 or two in a compile and leave them, but you have a lot. You will have to find and fix your brushes making the cluster portal errors if you want a clean map.
