Hi guys,

I'm very sorry if this is not the right place for me to ask for help, even though I've been a huge user of this website for ages. I'm just really out of my mind right now! I've been working on a map for 2 years, i love it so much and i've put so much effort into it.

I just wrote a "classic" skillshot trigger with some simple tweaks in it (i don't know if this is important anyway), and then i tried to save the map before testing. But it crashed after a random lag, and now i can't open the map anymore (on the editor and on the game itself)! It says something like "impossible to load" and "lack of information level data", i'm not sure because it is in French: "impossible de charger le fichier Documents/Warcraft III/Maps/Cartes créées/[My Map] - Données d'info niveau manquantes ou invalides". I can't find any help on google, can someone on here help me? Does anyone know about that bug? Has anyone encoutered it?

I'm so afraid i might lose all my work. I means so much to me.

Thank you to anyone who could help me
 
Check your Warcraft III/Maps/Test folder. See if it has a recent version that you've tested (it'll probably be named WorldEditTestMap, or something similar). If so, make a copy of it and edit that one.

Sadly, if it isn't there, then you might have to start over. :( Always remember to make backups of your map frequently. So many people have lost their maps because of a crash or worldedit error during a save.

Here is the map !

I did check the WorldEditTestMap, but for some reason it is a version of this map that is from March 2017, and sadly the most progress i had done was from April to now.
At least it is some kind of a "backup" even though it's not that comforting.

The map archive must not have built properly on save. It appears to contain only 3 imported files and no Warcraft III map files.

The contents of the map provided...
Code:
war3mapImported\The Ink Spots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire.mp3
Units\Human\Rifleman\RiflemanAttack1.wav
Units\Human\Rifleman\RiflemanAttack2.wav
