I am posting this on behave of my mapper as he is currently away. We were currently editing pk bigcity and these are the instructions we received from the map maker:
[QUOTE]11:06 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: Theres a bunch of custom content inside the bsp file itself
11:06 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: Your mapper needs to extract it with packrat
11:07 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: make sure hes got all of it, otherwise you
11:08 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: 'll have missing textures in hammer
11:08 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: There is also some specific build parameters to get the lighting to look crisp and bouncy
11:09 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: And the map itself is just under the vertex limit, what ever you do, dont increase the lightmap resolution
11:09 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: And lastly, the compile will take all night
11:10 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: now I just need to find the old file for ya
11:13 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: shit I'm not sure if I still got it
11:14 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: found her
11:17 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: ok, its good to go, I'll just upload it to my google drive
11:17 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: also
11:17 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: Your mapper wont know this,
11:17 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: He may think he knows how cubemaps work but to get it working in gmod is a different thing
11:18 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: Compile the map > RENAME the map > then build the cubemaps for both HDR and LDR settings.
11:18 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: make sure you've got that down
11:18 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: otherwise you get cancer reflections
11:19 PM - Productive ol' Grouse: Also, this map only has 1 cubemap that sits in the sky, if you want better, more specific reflections, be sure to make some more if needed.

Below is the compile log and the issue is we have absolutely no lighting on the map:

Anyone have any ideas why?
35021236 square feet [5043057664.00 square inches] That is a shit ton.. Check the lightmap scale on some of those surfaces. Shouldn't be below 16.

It appears you also have the nodraw texture on a displacement.
If I recall VBSP throws a fit and won't correctly compile if you do this, so look at any displacements you have and replace the nodraw texture with something else (the 'invisible' texture should work)

As far as I know no tool textures work on displacments, I think the best option is just to destroy the displacement face.
[B]Also, if you have too many cubemaps vrad will crash. [/B] Try checking if you have too many.
