It's failing to read a texture from one of your .wad files; if the problem happens every time you compile, try opening up your wads in wally to make sure they aren't corrupt.

It's a bad idea, by the way, to explicitly include any of the texture wads that are part of the basic NS set--every user is garunteed to have them, and you're just adding to your map's file size by copying them over with -wadinclude. If you don't include them directly in your map, NS will scan the user's directory for the wad names listed in the map and grab the textures from the appropriate wad. Wadinclude is only useful when you don't want to distrubute a custom texture as part of a wad.

I'm pretty sure that retail DoD, retail CS, etc. users can also use the default Half-Life wads since maps from the older mod versions of those games would have the standard wads referenced, but somebody who has bought one of those packages should probably confirm that. If that is the case, there isn't any need to wadinclude halflife.wad or liquid.wad, either.

i had a problem along the same lines

i wad included over 4 mb of wad (about 350 textuers) and ns would crash on map load, even stock hl, my fail safe, would crash on map load

You see all the tex from ns, are in all_ns_tex.wad (thats at the moment 150MB) and i just use that to stop the to many wad's error, and also keep me out of the wad list when i make a new map.

ATi only include ns_nancy.wad...

The rest are from ns/hl so not necesarry.

That's not a compile log for Nancy.

This is quite odd... opening all the used WADs up in Wally quickly and closing them appears to have fixed the problem... that's quite bizzare. Perhaps you could add a more in-depth explanation for this error in your P13 tools. "File Read Failure" isn't much to go on.
