How can I put external lua code into my map ?

[Aleksandr]

I want to put my custom war3map.lua file to the map.
The initial goal is to create something like hot redeploy of lua script to the map while I'm working in World Editor.
But once I replace generated war3map.lua on my custom one it does not work. Neither when WE is open nor it's closed.
it complains that war3map.w3i file can not be saved.

What could be wrong ?

The script file has to be put into the map after you are done editing the map. The workflow looks like this...

Edit map in World Editor -> Replace Lua script -> Upload map

TriggerHappy and people do this to use TypeScript which compiles to an Lua script file.
