Okay, so I'm using CoDBuilder to update my map, and it said, "warning! A new BSP have not been created!". So, I searched for the problem, and I found that you can find individual errors more easily if you pause it after each section, so I did. I found this line in the bsp section:

finding triangle windings...
Degenerate triangle (ie, point or line) given to DeriveTextureVectors; ref pos =
 (181 376 -203)
This is sometimes caused by improper collapsing of vertices on the boundary between terrains.  It may also be caused by a bad brush.  Sometimes using the clipping tool can cause this; hiding all brushes in the area, selecting complete tall around the point, and pressing 'delete' may fix the problem.

I don't really get what it says to fix the problem, any help?

it gives you coordinates.. have you checked in Radiant what is at those coordinates?

Of course I checked the coordinates. But what am I supposed to do there?

Find the brush(es) or patch(es) at that coordinate and fix the problem, most efficiently by deleting the brush or patch that is causing the issue.

or this:

hiding all brushes in the area, selecting complete tall around the point, and pressing 'delete' may fix the problem

*sigh*

How do I hide the brushes? How do I select complete tail? How do I press delete? Oh, wait, I know that one...

selecting complete tall...create a "brush" around the are you want to select.

Right click.

Choose "select-complete-tall"

Delete using the backspace key.

*sigh*

Selecting complete tall didn't do squat, so I just deleted the brush, and now I have a huge hole in my cliff, but the compile works. Thanks anyway.

So you had a bad brush or terrain patch....now replace it. There was something with the brush that was flawed, maybe it was clipped to an infinitely small dimension, or the patch was overly complex. Replace the terrain patch or brush with a new patch/brush and recompile again.

This isn't anything unusual, replacing bad brushes is just part of the process in troubleshooting compile issues.
