so i have made i want to say 2 maps previous to the one i am making now. previously i completed the map i am on currently and i had some erros with the entities which i had fixed so no problems are left. after i fixed them i run the compiler and something must of went wrong but i left it on all night cuz it was going really really slow. i come back from school after letting it sit for about 16 hours running and its still on the same part i left it off at just 30% farther. can anyone help me with this i tryed reinstalling it and had to redo this map but i got the compiler to work when i started it up again. and now as i try to compile part of the map it won't go anyfaster then last time i left it for 16 hours. I'm not sure if it has to do with how many objects in the map or what not. please help.

Sounds like your map is huge, or that your computer has very little memory. Either of these correct?

my black box that pops up while compiling will get past the baseportalvis then move on to the leafthread and stop at about 70% i have left it run all night and during school and that part on a normal map takes about 3 seconds for my size map and it took more then 16 hours so im confused i reinstalled the compiler but it seems to work when i make the basic outline of the map. im not sure if it has anything to do with it but to many floating objects or to many cylinders. im not sure because i have like 30 cylinders used for stairs floating in the air.

That's not the memory I meant, but yeah. If you run out of RAM the compile will slow down horrendously.

How many faces does the cylinders have? 10-20 faces is okay, but over 30 could cause problems.

You could also try tying the cylinders to func_wall and see if that helps.
QUACK! QUACK!

Have a look at Task Manager when it's running. You can keep track of the RAM allocation there (this is very unlikely but if the tools try to allocate more that 2 GB memory then it will crash; like I said, not a likely scenario).
