Your lights.rad appears to be missing. Also, zero area child patch VBSP and VVIS run fine, VRAD isn't

Well, I complile another map just fine with out a lights rad. I managed to fix the error of the zero child patch. Still crashed on VRAD, but the error checker didn't find any errors. So I just started to remove any odd brushes and it seemed to work.

Try using the VBCT. Search them.
