a way to to modify map without opening it

[311]

I've been working on a map for a few days now, had quite a few triggers done and units/spells, I decided to add some custom models yesterday (they worked, they showed up in editor, test map worked and everything) so I go load map up today to work on it, and I get "an expected error occurred" and it closes out my map completely and does the report error to Blizzard thing. I can see my map for 1-2 seconds maybe before it closes out, it doesn't stay open long enough for me to edit/do anything, so is there a way to somehow remove the custom models from my map without opening my map? (as I assume that is what is breaking my map since its almost the only thing I added yesterday)

Post the map here and hope someone can open it, delete the models, and save it as working again. That's how I had the problem fixed.

There's a few threads about this already you can check out.

I Looked but wasn't able to find, and I tried DLing 3rd party map editors, but they didn't work, but here is the map, Don't mind the name

This looks to have the solution:

[Crash] - Import a model and now can't open my map

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/scarlet-crusade-mage.351208/ When I used this model on my map I crushed it and now I can't open my map :'( I tested my map and it worked, but then I saved it with a unit on the map with this model, closed the editor and tried to open it again, it loaded...

After you fix it, I suggest saving the map as a Folder (it's an option in the dropdown menu when you click Save As). Then you can modify it's contents without having to open it in the World Editor.

Thanks o didn't mean to delete entire thing, I was just trying to delete map was all, I believe it was the Shivarra model as I only deleted that and it worked, but all models turned into the checkered boxes, so I just removed them all. Thanks for your help, and I will do that drop down thing to save moving forward

I'm not too sure what you're saying but I guess you got the map open? Anyway, you only need to Save it as a folder once, then you can save normally again.
