Hammer Won't Load Up Anything On A Level.

Sorry if the title is unclear with the problem...

I went to load up a map I've been developing for a while, and when i did, nothing that I had previously worked on loaded up (It looked like I had clicked "New"). If I remember correctly, the last time i dealt with my map, I had properly saved my map, but my computer crashed not too long after (with hammer open still). I check whether or not any of my map files had been deleted or corrupted. If I have not messed up with checking these, they are perfectly fine.
Some strange side effects have popped up. One major one is that it appears the Boojum Snark's Mapping Resource Pack's custom Engie Model Spawners (and some game logic logos) does not work anymore. They have been replaced with the normal Green Gordon Freeman Spawners. The second major effect is that the map perfectly loads up when compiling in hammer or in TF2, but if modified, the level is ruined and becomes whatever is placed (1. this was done on a map with a similar situation, so I still need one map fixed 2.this may just be because a new .bsp hasn't overwritten the last one, but I don't actually know). The blank unmodified map still has its previous size of +700KB, whereas the blank modified map (with about 8 brushes) only has about 10KB compared to its previous +600KB

P.S. If anymore information or clarification is needed on the situation, I will try to respond

I had already checked the Interloper's, but I'll still post my Compile Log of the Unmodified Blank Map :

Looks like VBSP doesn't finish and VVIS doesn't even start at all causing failed compiles. I'd say uninstall the ABS pack, validate TF2's cache via Steam with Hammer and TF2 closed, then reinstall the ABS pack.

This fixed the Boojum Snark Problem, but my map still doesn't load in hammer... Is there a solution for this?
