If my memory serves me correct, it sounds like all of your map is detail. You have to have a structural hull, sealing your map from the void.

Do you know the difference between structural and detail brushes?

im really quite new to the map building i followed the tutorial from a website without sealing the map in a box. my mate told me to try it in a box and i still get this error and it really does do my tree in. :banghead:

Sorry for the noob question, but have you compiled your snowhill.map file into the playable snowhill.bsp file?

Check your etmain/maps directory to make sure that snowhill.bsp is actually there.

yeah i compiled it bt i think i have sorted it now.
i typed /g_gametype then /devmap snowhill then it tried to work but didnt then i tried it with /sv_pure 0 and now it hopefully works.
