It looks like your map is NOT compiling properly if it gives that error. Post a compile log.
If you're trying to figure out how to use a Natural Selection mapping entity post in the newbie forum.
If you need help with a Natural Selection map feature, post in the newbie forum.
If you have a mapping setup or compile problem, post in the newbie forum.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Please read this document. It's beneficial to everyone's sanity (including yours) for EVERYBODY who posts in these forums to read the FAQ. It will help us retain our repose and answer your questions more quickly, precisely, and pleasantly.
As for answering your question....... You can actually open up a .map file in any text editor. It's basically written in math more than any other language, but what your error is saying is that the braces "{}" that define the beginning and end of a brush (they separate the lists of coordinates into brushes) are wrong somehow. A closing brace without data would mean that one of your entites is a brush entity with no brush tied to it. Open up hammer and do map->entity report and click on each brush entity. If you find a brush entity that doesn't have an object behind it delete it.(it will highlight all of them in your 2d panes) That should set you up. If not please repost with a compile log in newbie mapping.
here's the compile log:

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

WorldCraft is having difficulty exporting your .map version, somehow the end got chopped off. Means you've hit the end of the file and were missing a close brace "}". Its posible that the exporting procedure ended before it was done or you included quotations or other braces in entity string value names (bad idea). fixes:
1. try again to export your level from WC/hammer into .map format. and retry compile.
2. check in your level for entitys with "" or {} in the path/names.
3.open .map version with wordpad, go to end, add a bunch of closeing braces }}}}} then try recompiling again. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Honestly I don't see why this is helpful. If someone is not even going to bother looking for themselves on how to solve a problem then I doubt they should be mapping. There are PLENTY of valuable resources available to help track down errors. I don't see why we need to spell out those things that a person can read for themselves. If you still don't understand/have a problem after actually looking for and finding some documented help, that's the time to ask. Anything more is just coddling and a waste of space in the regular mapping forum.
OH shut up and give it a rest will you. The mapping forum FAQ is there to be read and for us to obide by. Just recently I posted a Quark / Python Error I'm trying to resolve.
Project Demon is obviously new to the mapping forum, otherwise he would know that the newbie mapping forum has a thread that is <i>really</i> long which contains an URL to TommyDs error and correction methods and DarkATis post. So look on that bloody forum. Stop wasting everyones time.
Thank to all of you for your Corporation and Thanks to me & my awesome ideas.... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> I declare this topic Officially [CLOSED]
Thats great, but i hope your map never gets released, because i dont want to have to:
a) Download a 50mg wad file, or
b) Have 4mg extra textures's included in that map.
Why do people have to have 10billion (yeh, ok, its an overstatement) different wadfiles? I use hlfix to convert from .rmf to .map formats, and in hlfix, you have to specify which wad's you are using, so just write in the ones you ACTUALLY use, if people did this, then i recon a heck of alot of problems would be removed from this forum!
edit : For some reason, it put the quote in backwards...
