[Crash] Help my map wont open on world editor

[Ergic]

[GreeN!X]

you sure that it's YOUR map? like you made it? if it is your map.. maybe you protected it by mistake or sumthing..

 

[Ergic]

its my map and im still working on it i dont even know how to protect a map XD

 

[Chaosy]

you could try the War3path\maps\test\testmap.w3x that is your last tested map in the editor

 

[Xonok]

If it doesn't work, then it's quite certainly corrupted(or protected, for editor it means the same).
It has happened to me a few times too, usually when the editor is closed while saving.

 

[Ergic]

is there any other way? this is my last chance for my lost map
if not i have to start all over again

I'm afraid your map is gone
Can't even open it with MPQ editors.

 

[Ergic]

T.T ok

To avoid that I make versions of my maps.
The Kingdom, for instance has been corrupted at least 3 times, but that didn't stop me.
Versions. Make a new version every time you change something important.

this..
it would be best that every time you save, you also rename the map. so that if it gets corrupted, you have a backup.

Once I had corrupted map. When I imported a lot of models and skins.
I think sometimes imported things make WE to fail Saving the map.
So when u try to load/open the map some kind of code isn't done and it writes that map is corrupted.

Oh and also, when I change something big, such as import lots of models or create lots of triggers.

If you use Windows 7, you can use previous versions under properties to roll the map back (if you have enabled it).
