This time I'm getting the same error but there definitely isn't any '#QNAN' or '#IND' string there.
If there's no QNAN or IND in your map file then you probably either deleted your worldspawn or added an invalid KVP. Look at the first ~25 lines of the map file, you'll see your worldspawn.

I wouldn't know what's invalid and what's missing so...

i dont think the worldspawn is supposed to have the "spawnflags" kvp and is waterdirection a valid kvp trem? o.O i've seen it before.
but besides that i think the problem lies in skybox_okil ....okil? try removing the whole line of the skybox and try again
spawnflags should be left alone, waterdirection is for dynamic water and is valid, skybox name would not prevent the map from loading. His problem doesn't appear to be the worldspawn.

so you're saying his map file has a missing "}" which would take forever to track? :s
No, that error is pretty much useless since any invalid entity or brush would cause it to say that there is a } mismatch.
My usual course of action for this problem at this point would be to start removing lines in bulk (thousands at a time), until the error goes away. Once the error goes away, undo your line removal and start over, removing a slightly smaller amount than the last until the error comes back. Now you know roughly where the error is and you can add/remove much smaller amounts of lines at a time until you come right to the error line. Remove the entity which contains the line that causes the error. Then restore all the lines after it which you havent already restored. End result usually is having to delete one entity or brush from the middle of the file that had something wrong with it.

Have fun OP.
Sounds tedious but I'll get on it. Thanks Trem!
Been deleting loads of lines and still getting the error. Just wanted to ask, how would deleting lines help radiant find something?

It helps YOU find where the error is that Radiant is stuck on.
Usually people send me map files that are 250,000 lines long, and i select half the file (from the end up to line 125,000) and delete it. Then I try to load the map. Did it work?
Yes: Ok, the error is between the end of the file and line 125,000. No: Ok, the error is between 125,000 and the beginning of the file.
Assuming the answer is yes, I Ctrl+Z to restore the file to its original state, and this time I select from the end of the file to line 200,000. Try to load the map. Did it work?
Yes: Ok, the error is between the end of the file and line 200,000 (just narrowed it down by 75,000 lines). No: Ok, the error is between line 125,000 and 200,000 (just narrowed it down by 75,000 lines).
Get the idea? I hope so because its just simple process of elimination by narrowing down the possibilities.
I would suggest trying to use the Restore Previous Version feature to restore your .map file to an earlier state, although this will only work if your Windows is configured to periodically make backups for System Restore (which I believe it should be by default). This means that you'll likely lose some recent changes, but it's better than a map which won't even open at all.
Had similar troubles when I was working on Chernobyl and the restore previous version method worked perfectly for me.
