this will be hard for you to fix as a new comer but if you want to just get rid of the problem flat out, open your .map in a text editor and press Ctrl + F and search Brush 456.
Delete the entire brush and all its data (you can easily tell where one brush stops and another starts by the brackets and // symbols)
It looks like this:
// brush 455

Just delete brush 456 from the // to the end bracket } right before the next //, so it looks like this:
// brush 455

they are sometimes fixable but involves some eye-straining number reading and such so I would just say delete the brush. Then when this is fixed just go in and fnd what brush is missing from your map and replace it (not as hard as it sounds).
Ctrl + D, Ctrl + P and Ctrl + Shift + D are your friends here, use 2 of the three to hide all primitives but structural, patches, or detail, and systematically just skim over your map looking for the missing brush. Shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes.

right click and select Open With and if its not already in the list, select it in Other.
Its not hard at all actually, it just looks hard because it looks like computer language. but really, its the simple of the simple your not actually making anything, your deleting!

okei i think i have a similar problem coz i tried to put a hammer from q3 to my map. now on my new comp i cant get 1.4 running… i installed 1.5 (didnt used that before coz it was too resource intensive for the old comp) anyway when loading the map loading starts for a sec and then such lines apper and then nothing…

well, this is not a correct quake 3 .map. what’s the point of using hammer to make quake 3 engine maps? gtk radiant is the best. anyway, i’m trying to fix it. it should be easy to get brushwork working, but i’m afraid you will loose texture aligment…

save urself from the trouble… i did it too and lost the texture alignment… they were flipped… too much work… i was just wondering if there is any other way to do it… without loosing textures…
i was just stupid and idnt know and though nothing happens when i add quake prefab hammer…

no, there is no way, as there is no detailed texture info inside this .map file.
