[moved] I Need Help Playing My New Map...

I'm new to the VHE and am trying to make my first kz map. I have made a simple room using several different tutorials. I run the map (F9) and everything works great (no errors at all). However, when I open CS and choose New Game and my map it ALWAYS freezes at the "Starting Local Game Server" or whatever (the first stage in the map loading process I guess). No one I have asked seems to know why but maybe someone on here can help. It's getting very frustrating. Thx to anyone who replies.

sup timmycakes! are you sure that its only your map, or are you able to start the "new game" on other maps?

To Clair: Yeah the other maps work its just my map :( *cry*
To wRath^: i used ZHLT yeah, (batch was a lil confusing cuz im nubby) and yeah i had lights and info_player_start and all that. no leaks. i sent it to gangien and i THINK he got it to work but didnt work on mine for some reason. i used a tutorial found here:
http://www.cs-maps.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=packs.html
and also another found in the forums here and the normal VHE help. its gotta be somethin on my end cuz the map seems fine. GRR @ this!

ye, post the log

(usually in the folder where you keep your *.map, mapname.log)

Ok heres the log, srry about it being so long i dunno any other way to post it:

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

ok thanks Demo! i know what ur saying but i dont really know how to delete them. if someone can tell me how to do that i would GREATLY appreciate it!!

Since no1 said it im pretty sure the max wad files you want to have is 8. I might be wrong, but dont go over 8 if im right.

or that would also solve that problem ^^
