First things first:
1) POST YOUR LOG THROUGH INTERLOPERS!
2) Then read it, dont just stare blankly at it, actually read it.
3) deal with errors you find.
4) if you are still stuck, ask in the forum

Overlay touching too many faces (touching 200, max 64)
Overlay overlays/drain001 at 1868.3 772.3 0.0

Go find that overlay and delete it, its touching too many faces (once the compiler has cut the map up, so it may only be touching one face in hammer) its pretty tricky to find a new location close by to put the overlay once you've got this error. It happens a lot for hugely stretched overlays, if you've got a stretched one shrink it or break it into several smaller ones.

Edit: For future reference, you are compiling your map here, decompiling is when you take an existing map game file and turn it back into an editable one.
So when I make my own maps and turn them from the editable state into the playable state I'm compiling them, but when I take valve's maps like pl_goldrush and I've got the playable one and I want the editable one, I decompile it.
