*URGENT* Please Help!

Hi guys i am in need of some love and care lol. No seriously, my map that i am making for TF2 which is for my Univeristy project has reached a point where it will not compile by even making the littlest change to my map. I'll alaborate.

Basically my map kept giving me this compile error :

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."


So after i resorted back to my last working map which compiles like this:

Again that map does run but is not optimised well.

But get this. If i change any little thing in the working map, and then run it, it doesnt work. Even if i change the file name and save it as something else but nothing has been changed to the map, it fails to compile.


I don't know if any of you guys could help me on this situation but i need to get it sorted PRONTO! any help would be much apprieciated.

Thanks guys.

No i havn't moved the VMF anywhere. Its always in the same directory.

Yeah i sorted it out guys. I just removed a few complex brushes and it sorted itself out. dont know why that was the case but yeah its sorted.

thanks.
