Mapping Trouble

[Santiago]

I have been playing with Source for a while now and can not seem to get map file sizes down to a reasonable size and am curious if any one could look at the map I am currently working on and give me some advice.
Here is the link to my file front page. http://hosted.filefront.com/jpeckham82/
The files are CP_fortress i have all the files that have any thing to do with my work.
Thanks

Santiago,

good news is, your map is not that big...

the bad news is, it has a light leak...

you will need to fix that before any more work can be done..

goto Loadpointfile.. you will see a red line running from a light entity to the outside.
fix it by adjusting the brushes where the leak escapes..then rebuild and check again

light leaks WILL cause a map to crash when the map gets big enough..many small maps will still load with leaks.
