My map wont run

(NOTE): This issue has been fixed.

Okay, when ever I try to compile, run the map in game, or build the cubemaps via compilepal, my map wont load. Let me run you through the process: 1. My compile finishes and launches tf2. 2. tf2 launches and loads the main menu. 3. tf2 freezes (like its trying to load the map). 4. the console opens and brings up this error at least 10 times:
Failed, using default cubemap 'engine/defaultcubemap'

I understand that this is sometimes "normal", but my map will not even load for my to build the proper cubemaps.

I am kinda stumped on this one, so if you can provide any help, that would be appreciated.
Thank you
(if you need more detail on the subject like screenshots, let me know)

Also, my compile log states no errors.

You've said the compile log has no errors, but post it anyway. Sometimes a 2nd pair of eyes spots a mistake that you overlooked.

I think there might be something wrong happening in vbsp; technically, you don't need to run vvis (maps that leak can't run it correctly) or vrad (fulbright maps don't run it), so I would recommend testing compiling with those off to try and verify that that is what the problem is; if it is, after that I would recommend using the cordon tool to try and find where the problem is in your map, by cordoning off half of the map, and if that runs correctly, test the other half; keep narrowing it down until you find the smallest area that has an error in it, and then try and find the error from there
