The problems seems to be in the brush 167 on line 2017, but when i look at the .map using text editor, i cant see anything suspicious. Removing whole brush 167 doesn't help.
Is there anything can be done about that, or will i have to remap the map, which i don't want to do any more, because i mapped it already two times.
One very weird thing is that i had the same error on the same map before, but since then, i have remade the map from scratch, totally removing the old one.

Your map file contains invalid characters which neither my text editor (gedit) nor NetRadiant can read. That´s why it´s crashing
I see two possibilities:
1. It was caused because you are working off the grid. Do not work off the grid! This is a great example what can happen if you do anyway!
2. You used characters of some special language (Russian, Chinese, etc.) which are not UTF-8 compatible.
The only solution to rescue your map would be to delete each invalid brush in the map file with a text editor.
Not too sure about that one, the texture is just "z":
Code:
458 6383, 6384
Try the attached map file, I replaced the bad textures with caulk. Perhaps I should have used something else than caulk to help you find which texture is now missing, but I don't know textures so I don't know what else to pick.
I also included the .diff from original to new in the archive, for convenience. Here's the diff (which is probably unusable in this form because of forum stuff, so consider this a preview of the file in the zip attachment)
With that diff, it would be straightforward for me to substitute caulk for something else that you can find more easily in netradiant. Feel free to ask if you want a different substitute!

I can figure out what textures are they, I made that map just this morning.)
Thank you, Mr.Bougo, thank you!!! What would we all do if we did not have you??? You are the best admin I'v ever known!!!
No. That was philik2x... Ii have modified the shader file slightly, but the modifiied shaders stayed in place. What siapeared was a half of cemi brush cylinder, which might have had ungrided.
When you want a custom shader than you should create your own version of it, not modifying the original one to avoid conflicts. Copy the shader to a file and name it "map_yourmapname.shader" and add the name ("yourmapname") to the shaderlist.txt file (if none exists then create one).
For cylinders you should avoid using rounded brushes unless you really know what you are doing and you can handle the clipping tool well enough. The best alternative is a patch cylinder. (Curve -> Cylinder)
Yes, you can do that. Though it may change a bit your object´s shape, still though this can be avoided to switch to a finer grid.
It´s just my own personal preference to avoid working off the grid at any time, which in fact doesn´t need to be logical for everybody. I just follow some strict principles to keep my maps clean and tidy... may be a quirk of me.
That really depends on what geometry you are working on. The standard grid is 8 (press 4) which allows good shaping for nearly every situation, for final details you can (!) use 4 or lower (keys are 3 and lower). As long as it is actually on the grid I´d be happy, but still, that´s mostly personal preference. I would just say work with grid 8 that´s neither too small nor too big and grid 4 if you need subdivisions.
The tricky thing is you should keep in mind that textures have some standard sizes so you want some uniform scales in your map to easily align them.
