Use Map->Check for Problems.
Fix them.

hlcsg: Error: brush with coplanar faces

Ok....
Most errors that show up in Check for problems should be fixed.
The no solid objects problem can cause all kinds of compiling errors.
The .err file and Check for Problems are not, and are not supposed to be the same thing.
Check for Problems is Hammer's detection system for things in your map you CAN build but that make no sense.
The .err file results when the compilers fail, often because your map has parts that make no sense.
The compilers are much pickier than Hammer. Hammer will let you build all sorts of crazy paradoxical shit, but the compilers have to conform to the game engine, and can't handle stuff like that.

Coplanar planes means that more than one face on your brush are in the same plane.
Like this:
[code:1]O---O---O
| |
| |
| |
O-------O[/code:1]
As you can see, the top of the brush has TWO faces where there should be only 1. You need to delete the brush or move the vertex.

buuuut theres only one problem, i cant find the brush thats causeing the problem, heres what brush im looking for
hlcsg: Error: Entity 201, Brush 0, Side 7: has a coplanar plane at (-392, 174, -3200), texture ORIGIN
hlcsg: Error: Entity 201, Brush 0, Side 11: has a coplanar plane at (-393, 178, -3200), texture ORIGIN
...notice how theyre both in the same entity and same brush, when i search brushes and put in entity 201 and brush 0 it says it doesnt exist, what hapened?
(by the way im goin to, map->go to brush number)

Try just Entity 201 and do not type 0 for the brush.
I don't really use the brush-finder-thingy so I don't trust it.
It should also show up in Map->Check for Problems. But that isn't 100% reliable either.
Or you can go look at what's at (-392,174,-3200).
That's 392 inches west, 174 inches north of the center of your map. The coordinates are shown in the status bar in Hammer when you mouseover the 2D windows.

I'm sorry I don't have time to look at people's maps. I used to do that but it takes up too much of my time.
You can find the coordinates. Turn the grid to the smallest (press [[/b] a lot) and then move your mouse into the top (x/y) window.
At the bottom of Hammer you should see something like @101, -47. You are looking for @-392, 174 which is left and up from the center of the map.

It could be a large brush, and you could be zoomed in too far. Is there NOTHING around there?

well there is a room that is above the map where you get teleported to, but thats it, the spot where the brush is "supposed" to be is away from any brushes and im not zoomed in far cause the blacks not even on the grids

Even if I look at your map it's not going to help you fix your own problems the next time.
If there is really no brush there and it doesn't show up in Check For Problems then this is something I haven't even seen before.
You're going to have to:
1. backup your map
2. delete half your map
3. compile and see if the problem is there still, then you'll know which half it is in
4. Repeat on the suspect half until you find what is REALLY the problem
As far as I know, that is the only way to solve mystery problems like this. And it is very time consuming.

You don't have to actually find out what the problem is... you can just delete everything in the 'problem half' once it gets down small enough to easily remake.
