Any tool to restore maps

[darth_vader88]

I been working on a map now for months, it was allmost finished.
I worked last on it yesterday, now when I went in to the editor I could no open it

Unable to load file (map)
- Main map file could not opened

I can not open it at all in the editor or see the map i game.
I used the normal world editor. Its so frustrating, I've spendt so damn many hours in the editor working on this map
Is there any tool/program that I can use to restore it back? open it or any thing?
I dont understand why this has happened

Could you perhaps post the map so that we can take a look?
It might be that some scripts inside the archive became corrupt.
I want to see it for myself with a MPQ browser.

If you have your system set to create shadow copies of the folder structure the map was in, you could restore to one of those.

Or if you are using JassNewGenPack then there is a backup map which contains auto-saved maps. You might want to take a look in there.

EDIT: I see now that you've used the standard world editor (my mistake)

Warcraft III\Maps\Test folder holds the last map tested. It could be your map.

yea! thanks maker. It was the same map
But tested the 20th so 8 days of hard work lost
Still hoping there is a way to fix the map with a program

Post the map, maybe there's a bad import somewhere. Have you imported stuff recently?

I've already taken a look at the map, I'm unabled to open the archive because the main map file became corrupt.
The OP told me that he optimized the map to decrease loading time
(Which I think might be the reason why the scripts inside the archive became corrupt).
It's unabled to open in any MPQ browser nor in JNGP or the standard world editor.

Just like what happened to my map that you tried to fix XD

Well if that is the problem, then there is no way to retrieve it. Just use your last one. Just remember to save often and always create backups.

Yours was different, I was still abled to open your map in a MPQ browser, but I wasn't abled to restore the corrupt files inside of it.

This one can't even be opened inside a MPQ editor ^.^
