Cannot find map inside of WC3

[Waves]

Hello, I'm in the middle of making a map, however, when I tried to go into the map (not through test map) its not in its folder.

Using Newgen, I run on Windows 7.

Map name is currently B4IC (UNPROTECTED)

Drag the map into your downloads folder?

You likely aren't saving the map to Wc3/Downloads/blah by default.

Character must not too long.
How Wc3 count characters : Maps/Folder Name/Map Name
Also, make sure you save the map inside Maps Folder.

The default save location for World Editor is:

C:/...../Warcraft III/Test

When you search for maps to play within Warcraft III, you are probably looking within the downloads folder. Go back a folder, and select your test folder.

The name may be too long....

@pOKe - it doesn't need to be in downloads folder

@radicool - I think that's if you use Test map... because mine was Maps\

Be sure you are saving it in the Maps folder or in a subfolder inside maps folder...

as for max length, I think its 32 characters and follow daffa's post to know how wc3 counts length...

and make sure you have been able to save the map without problems/errors...

Also, check if the map is actually saved and created... if it doesn't, make sure you enable admin privilages for your NewGen...

Also, if Folder contains Sub Folders, they will also count toward the length limit.

Options:
- You accidentally deleted map. Go check your Recycle bin
- Long map or file name. If either of those two are long it will not show up.
- Only the admin can access that file (Only in Windows 7 I do know this happens)

This option has been said so maybe this:
- Its either in the Compatibility files location. If there is a button Compatibility Files tab button there, click it and see again on the folder you know you saved it. (I do know this is at Windows 7 only too or correct me if I am wrong)
