Hi there, i was almoust finished with my terrain when i had to go eating. I save the map close the editor.

I come back and i read 'main map file could not be opened' !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyway i can fix this i have a backup but thats without the terrain done, only triggers and units .

Does anyone know how i can get this back :s

Are you using any special editor, like WEU?

nop normal, i notice that there is 200 kb missing to from the file ^o) its really annoying i spend hours on the terrain and now i'm left with a blanc -.-

EDIT: well i guess i can be happy that all my triggers and custom units are still there and finished. I'll just make new terrain for 6 instead of 12 peeps should be done fast. Its a shame it had to happen, but now i know to make multiple backups. I guess u learn from that.

Are you using the Auto-Save function on WE? It really helps against these things

If you'll get a good mpq editor, you'll probably be able to transfer the terrain and shading files from your new but broken map to working previous version (don't forget to make backups).

I dont know if im allowed to say this, but, if you search warcraft 3 map deprotecter on google, that has a MPQ editor with it. Mod can remove this post if they want.

Well i'll try that thx for all the replies. But i think i'll just make a new 6 map version then.

It just sucks , and i 'll defenly put that autosave on. Is there an option to make a new save file every time?

Well i'll check it out. Thx for the replies guys. U can put this as solved. I'll try a few of your tips.
