I'm going with "Full compile - HDR only" configuration and all settings are default expet "$light_exe" commands parameters I changed to these:
"-textureshadows -hdr -StaticPropLighting -StaticPropPolys -game $gamedir $path\$file"

Any ideas how do I fix this? Because time is running short.

It's a good thing to tie brushes to func_detail, but there is such a thing as TOO MUCH. Try removing as much func_details as you can, or convert them back to world geometry.

Wrong. Naming lights will only increase compile time and BSP size. It will not throw that error, because that would be under the "Too many light styles on a face" error. It's a BSP problem.

I have none of func_detail I could remove, otherwise visleaves would kill me. And also, I sent my map .vmf to my friend and he compiled it with exact same compile settings and it worked for him. Is it possible that I have something wrong with Hammer?

Try validating Hammer.

What I usually do as one of the final editing steps for a map, is set all of the light maps to 32, and then selectively lower the number on surfaces where the lighting looks odd or where there's lots of shadow detail.

Think I can see what is wrong from your log.

I recon there is a 'Carriage-Return' on the end of your $light_exe parameters. You must have pressed return on the end or copy-pasted it in when you changed it.

If you select the parameters when on light_exe, see if the cursor goes onto the 2nd line if you cursor to the end of the parameters... and then press delete once.

You can see in the log on the last line, that it looks like there is a CR between the log filename and the '.log' that gets added. Thats what made me guess it...

That should fix it I recon...
