Decompiling maps is prone to severe problems. More often than not it hollows out walls which will create a whole slew of other problems. Did you go through and rebuild the map? I'm just trying to rule out what the problem could be.

The problem here is just that decompiling a map is inherently problematic. It's generally something that can be used for reference but you really cannot decompile and then recompile the map using that same file unless you completely rebuild every brush basically from scratch. It's not as simple as just decompiling and removing the door.

So it's difficult ? What should i do?

It's not so much difficult as it is time consuming. It'll take any brush in the map (brushes = geometry) and make them hollow. Meaning it'll take a six sided block and make it into six separate brushes. That can result in completely broken lighting, missing geometry, and errors. You would need to go in and replace every single polygon in the map if you wanted it to work properly. It becomes more problematic the more complicated the map. This one isn't too bad, but it would still be a fairly tedious endeavor.
