Maps i edit disappear from old Warcraft

[Burgered]

Whenever I save a map in the new editor, it just disappears from my old Warcraft 3 TFT. I was looking for solution in internet, where most commonly the clue was to rename map or move it to other folder, but it just doesn't work for me.

We need more details. What do you mean the old Warcraft? Also, where are your maps located exactly?
What game versions are you using?

Once a map is saved in a newer version, it becomes incompatible with older ones, as you cannot expect features added in a new version to be recognized by the old ones.
This is safeguarded by the versions of crucial files, namely w3i. WTG was also majorly changed for 1.31 too, but w3i also got changed with reforged since there are new options.

Short answer: once you save a map with a new editor, it's unplayable by old game versions.

A possible hacky way to revert this would be to create a tool that would save the maps in an older format, but you'd also probably need to open the map in an old WE afterwards to fix all errors
