More compiling issues

[Scampi]

Alrighty, here I am again, suffering from more compiling madness. Here's the rundown:

I have been incrementally making a detail map (not for gameplay, probably) and compiling after each large change. It's loaded with custom content, and each time Compile Pal has been able to pack it all up.

About an hour ago, I ran another compile after adding a new set of lights... and now everything is broken in a weird way. First, a random selection of custom assets won't pack. This changes during each compile, some times Construction stuff will fail, sometimes Frontline. Even when I do nothing more than immediately delete the bsp and recompile, it changes. Second, some sound effects are 'echoed'. They don't sound right, like they're being played in a large empty room. Only some sound effects. Third, sound effects can no longer be triggered by inputs. It just doesn't play no matter what. Fourth, every few compiles turn my func_tracktrain into a normal brush.

Guys, all I did was add a func_illusionary with the light texture on it. Now everything is fucked. I'm losing my mind here. What the hell is going on?

[Vel0city]

Well, a: you're compiling in fastvis mode for VVIS which can cause issues, but what puzzles me more is b: why do you have a concrete texture/material with a $bottommaterial value? That stuff is reserved for the water shader and shouldn't be in a normal material VMF.

 

[Da Spud Lord]

Of everything in the compile log, this concerns me the most:

WARNING: Map using power 4 displacements, terrain physics cannot be compressed, map will need additional memory and CPU.

Like Vel0city said, I'd also try running a full VVIS compile, and also figure out why VBSP is complaining about a concrete texture lacking a bottom material.

 

[Scampi]

Well, I fixed the bottom material issues, turns out I had a fluid with its sides and bottom as that concrete instead of nodraw. But more importantly, the packing issue is gone. I did nothing besides restart my computer. I'm not going to declare this as resolved however, no telling when it may return.

This tool can go a long ways as well.

Believe me, I know how incredibly useful this site is... except when it's not. I only come here for help when truly anomalous crap happens that interlopers and my current level of understanding cannot explain.

 

[ics]

Did you check alt+p for error dialog?

 

[Scampi]

Alright, most of the problems have left except for a few regarding sound.

Any type of sound entity that I place refuses to work, however existing ones function normally. However:

-Copied-and-pasted ambient generics do not work, even if they are copies of the old ones that still function.
-Deleting and undoing that deletion of one of the old ambient generics breaks it. In addition, altering them in any way causes this as well.
-Copying in functioning sound effects from other maps doesn't work.
-Sounds still cannot be triggered by logic.
-Soundscapes are now broken (I haven't touched them since they last worked)
-When loaded in garrysmod, many sounds on the map simply don't play. Mostly explosions and physics noise, but stuff like NPCs and gunfire still work.

I haven't tested any other maps, but I'm afraid of breaking them.

As usual, alt+p brings up no errors and interlopers tells me nothing.

 

[Scampi]

If anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it. I've tried everything I could think of, restarting every applicable program including my pc, checking for errors in both hammer, the console, and the compiler, saving it as a different map and trying again, even testing through all of the glitches I've mentioned above for changes. There is no difference. While I can still work on visual detailing, anything regarding sound has ground to a halt.
