could someone kindly explain to me what this error means, and if it’s possible to recover from it, i have a conciderable amount of brushwork added since the previous revision :

note: i have done a google search as well as several forum searches, however i do not find any topics or posts containing the keywords ‘Backwards Tree Volume’ (heh, at least ones that pertain to this error : p) .

The two most common are start position in the void or start position on a floor with a detail surfaceparm. Make sure that you place the start position on a floor made out of a solid texture and that it isn’t too close to a wall.

So in other words… don’t put your spawn point on the floor. Instead place it abovethe floor atleast 1 unit. (this height doesn’t matter as long as it’s not so high that the player get’s injured) Also, make sure you don’t have any leaks.
