As you can see in the above image, when my skybox touches this brush, it seems to glitch out making the wall invisible partially. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Put your compile log here: http://www.interlopers.net/errors/

It will check it for errors, see if it spews out an error.

Pretty sure it isn't a compile error, just lack of experience

Just move the skybox further up. If a face is covered by a solid brush (skybox brushes are solid world brushes) then those faces will be removed on compile, because usually they are seen anyway

Thank you, it actually was that both the faces were conflicting. I now noticed I do have a compile error, and I could use some help with that. I got an error that said:
can't load skybox file skybox/sky_night_01 to build the default cubemap!
Can someone shine some light on this?

That error can be safely ignored. It simply means that the engine can't generate default cubemaps, which are purely cosmetic and so your map will work perfectly fine without them. You can also add your own cubemap entities and build them yourself so it doesn't matter that the default ones are missing.
