Me and a mate are working on a anticipated map called mp_nuke(more info here) After few weeks successfully working we got an difficult/nasty error. We can compile the bsp file but when we try to compile the reflections it just crashes out of the blue. Things i have tried to fix it without: - Remove all lightning probes and re-add them - Removed all the lightning probes and then compile - Copy/paste everything in a new map - Removed custom textures ( 2 logos 512x512) - Removed recently build things. - Removed the scripted doors and objects. These things had no succes and we need some serious help from IW or the community to let this map not go to waste.

Try taking the mp_nuke.gsc file out of the C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\raw\maps\mp folder and putting it on your desktop. compile the reflections. When the compiler is done compiling reflections then put it back into C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\raw\maps\mp folder then build your fast file. That works for me. I put in a fluorescent light effect in my map and had the same problem as you.

That did not the trick but thanks anyway. After your reply i started thinking and made everything from scratch ( csv files etc.. ) After i tried rebuild the fast file it gave an error. 2 different skyboxes i'm looking into it now

Recreating the skybox did not do the trick. So there i something else wrong. Anyone got an idea here is the compile log: http://www.2nd-studio.net/downloads/mp_nuke.errlog

If your error occurs during compile reflections, post the error here. If your map is not compiling (i.e. a bsp is not being created) post the full contents of the compile window by right clicking on the DOS box and selecting all, and then pasting here. The .errlog only shows some errors and sometimes does not include the serious errors that make a compile fail. Once we have all that info I am sure we can find a solution ;)

I want to thank you for all your help. The problem is solved thanks to Derix on the modbase.be forum. He found some errors in the map involving primary lights like SporadiC said.
