Lost Map ;-; Pls Halp.

[Gatorix]

After some long tedious hours of refining and fixing... I came to a problem: "Out of memory loading solid." I don't know how to fix it, and I can't access my map anymore... Error Loading File
File C:\Users\Connor\Desktop\Hammer Maps\koth_canyon_a3.vmf, line 34942: error 7
is what it says... Halp ;-;
Here's my last compile log. It looks pretty fishy.

Don't worry, this error is easily fixable - you just have to know your way around a VMF opened in a text editor. Before you do anything, though, make a copy of the corrupted VMF in case you accidentally delete something you shouldn't.

Once you open the map in a text editor (I recommend Notepad++) find the line number mentioned in the error - 34942 - and look around for any solids containing coordinates with 1.#QNAN or -1.#IND. You should see something like this:

Remove the brush from your map by deleting the ENTIRE solid class. That's the word "solid" and everything from that first bracket to its matching closing bracket. Then, use CTRL+F to find any similar solids and delete those too. Once you've gotten all the invalid brushes, you should be able to open your map again and recreate them.

If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, feel free to toss the VMF my way and I'll fix it for you.
