When you say it hangs, I take it that it compiles properly? If so, does it take a long time to compile? Check the log file created, see if it has any warnings etc.

Lot's of files is normal. Look for an error or warning in your .log file.

You have to make sure that all your entities are entirely 'boxed in', that is that there are no leaks. The -3000 number would suggest to me that there is a player start like too far out; it is perhaps not contained by brushes. Have a look for it.

Aside from that you can have a look at the pointfile, this will tell you exactly where the leak is. Plug it!

Click Map->Load Pointfile to view the pointfile in Hammer. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes.

loading a pointfile have emerged some mashwork of red lines[Un-Understandable to me] occupying almost more than half of the map however i have resized all the walls to maximum grid and re checked them weither they r just touching or intercepting with each other[some were intercepting the error was removed by resizing] and as i said previously all the players are in space inside the world but there is still leak error:

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_player_start @ ( 768,-3520, 48)

log and err files are also created, i didnt noticed it quite well in first attempt.

The red lines from the pointfile can be a mess, but at some point they connect through your leak from the inside to the outside of the map.

Sometimes it can help find the leak.
