alright so i merged all my wads together (prob a bad move). i was practically done with my map now it wont compile and it wont load because hammer crashes. i tried to re install but i believe it has to do with some of the textures i used. im screwed and the only thing i can think of is to re texture everything but i need to open it first. any ideas? plz

If you compiled with "-nowadtexture" then try this:
Take your map's latest BSP file, download "BSPTWOMAP" De-compiler, Put it in a separate folder with a copy of the bsp file, then drag the bsp to the .exe file.
This will generate a MAP file and a WAD File, Called "Yourmap_btm.wad" This wad should have every texture you used in the map.

thank you for answering and i just tried that but it keeps saying error program has stopped working :/
is there a way to compile it without adding textures or something?

Open your "Mapname.bat" File by Edit or open with notepad, And delete all of "-Nowadtextures" , this will not save the wads with the bsp file.

Now here is a suggestion for you:
(read all of it before doing in case its not what you want)
1- Open hammer and write down all the textures you used.
2- You get GCFScape program.
3- You open GCFScape and with GCF you open Your .wad.
4- Extract all the Textures you have used in your map in a certain folder.
5- Get Wally and put those textures in a new small wad file. (Any youtube tutorial shows this)

okay great ill try that. and could it be that some textures are bad like too big or have spaces in the names. can i send you a copy of the listed textures so you can see?

Post the compile log and texture names here or in pastebin.com.

i was doing that but it wouldnt find it so i tried going to the coordinates but cant determine whats wrong...fml

Try going to Ctrl+P or Map>Check for problems, See whats wrong, fix them manually by deleting then replacing then try.
Your error is usually caused by Using Vertex tool.
So if you used the vertex tool on any of the objects near the coords trying deleting them then try.
