My map has been working fine and then I try to play it now and it comes up with this error. Ive deleted everything i can think of between the workable version and the not working version. also btw i noticed that my .bsp droped from 2.2 megs to 800 kb.

This can happen in compile: an error occured while loading the xxxxx.prt file. It could be corrupted, missing (if you have a leak), or your map is too complex for bsp to generate a valid .prt file. Somehow the portal file made by the other previous compiling programs got messed up, or the reading program is messed up. Usually a Qtools problem, rare on Zoner's compile tools, but most often happens between BSP and VIS.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
