Corrupted Map

[Daliox1]

Hello,

I've been working now on a map since april and unfortunately, my map crashed while World Editor was open. Lucky me, I saved it before the crash but very unlucky me, my map seems to be corrupted now.

Everytime I'm trying to open it in the WE, it says :

"Unable to load file 'C:/Users/......../Castle Defense.w3x'

- Main map file could not be opened".

I've checked a bit on forums for solutions and people were looking to say that it means the map is corrupted, frenquently happen after a crash. They were also talking about a "test folder" but was in 2007-2013, and I cannot find this folder.

Has anyone any idea or solution to help me in this situation ?

In advance, thanks for answers and have take care of yourself.

Hi,

try this program to optimize the map and try opening it again. Main function of this software is to lock the map, but it has other features as well.

Wc3mapoptimizer 5.0 - WC3 Modding Information Center

Nah it is not working. If anyone else has another idea, I'm up to try anything.

So you have no backup?

Well this is a tough lesson for anyone to learn :/


Actually, what do you think made the map crash?
If you suspect a corrupted import, you can try mpq editors to remove the culprit.

Nah, I was doing something else on my PC that made my PC crashing, not the WE himself :x

But I just found something that could help. My map is saved on OneDrive, so it seems there's back there and I can restore an old save. Will see how it works, fingers crossed.
