Ok so, when I was saving my map as usual, for some reason a small yellow lock appeared on the map file icon in windows. I am wondering what it does, and am quite worried that it has some effect on the map.
I do not mean the map is protected (optimized) or anything of the sort, I think it has something to do with windows.
Anyways, does anyone know why this happens?
EDIT: It appears that the map is not visible in Wc3 (when opening Wc3 manually), but still is openable and testable in the Editor.
The map file is also not visible when navigating to the Wc3 map folder, but is visible in the same folder when navigating with "Open Map" through the World Editor.
I think it has something to do with a program called "MyWinLocker".
EDIT 2: Alright this is pissing me off.
A few days ago a moved my NewGen editor into the Program Files folder in my computer when cleaning some stuff around, it appears that this has caused saved maps to get the lock thing. However I managed to remove the lock by using "Share With" when right-clicking the map, but this didn't do shit. Now when I try to save the map, I get a message saying unable to create directory for <MapLocation>.wc3xTemp, Acces is denied etc etc.
What does the wc3xTemp mean?
EDIT 3: After moving the NewGen back to the original location, I cant save any map. ^^ (irony smile).
EDIT 4: Aaaaaand fixed. It appears that after I moved NewGen it stopped to automatically launch as administrator, causing saves to not work or something. But I have now moved back the stuff and enabled to administrator mode to run automatically again whenever NewGen is opened.
Solved.
