This error is caused by the beaver creek ladder%^ material. If I remove the ladders or change it to ladder% it compiles just fine. Also note that the error happens while it is compiling portals. So it may be caused by a portal and a ladder over lapping or clipping or something.

Try putting the ^ in front of the %. You could always manually make it doublesided.

[Inferno]

The double sided is not the problem its the ladder mat. Though I found if i remove the metal clamps around the ladders it compiles fine. Maybe I'll make those render geometry.

edit-
Did the render geometry it worked.

[Bad Waffle]

Oh yea, you're right, i got my symbols mixed.

Isn't there a flag in environment tags that makes a surface into a ladder? i don't think there was one...but i cant say that it didn't.

The last time I had this problem, me and adumbass was able to fix it by moving the entire map to 0,0,0. Dunno if you tried that already, but it worked for us.
