Well someone helps me then? i know this is delarosas but it's my compiler problem.

is the error bad?

Such errors are usually caused by switching maps across different editors / editor versions.

It could of course also be that you've placed a " sign in an entity string as the tools mentioned. Just delete all entities except an info_player_start and see if the error goes away. In that case, you've used an illegal entity entry.

For more info, check <a href='http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#badstring' target='_blank'>Tommy's mapping error list thingy</a>. And bookmark it while you're at it, it's quite useful.

Well i compiled my map for The Specialists mod i calls Rise. But in the beginning it was okey with the map.
Later i downloaded beta 3.5 hammer!

And my map got many models what i dont want to delete. But well do i need delete all enteties in my list and start again? is that good?

You can try deleting all entities and see if that fixes your problem. Then you know the problem lies with your entities and you can examine them more closesly to isolate the problem.

If deleting the entities doesn't work, the editor switch seems like a likely cause for trouble. I don't know how to fix it (use QuArK myself, so aren't bothered by these little quirks you poor unenlightened Hammer users have to live with), but I'm sure a Hammer user will be capable of helping you out.

I deleted all my enteties and placed the new one info_player_start and 1 light_env

Try opening the .map file in notepad - what do the first ten or so lines look like?
