This problem happened 3 times already, I just opened my map, made some changes in my script(projectile system) then Ctrl+S(Save) then closed the world editor. Then when I came back to make another change and to test some things then I find that the changes I made earlier are all gone, how can I fix this problem? It's really annoying :(

well that sucks. I noticed the same thing on the AI gui creator. it doesn't save.changes. the solution I found was to close the map while still in the world editor, before closing the world editor

Have you tried running NewGen as administrator? Maybe you don't have write permissions to the folder you're trying to save in, and perhaps jasshelper (or the editor itself) doesn't have proper error checking to show that.
Hmm, when I was first starting to create my script then it saves properly(when there's no errors in the script), even without running it as admin. Tho, I think I somehow fixed it, it seems that when I save the map then close NewGen WE without first closing the trigger editor then problem happens, so I saved the map > closed the trigger editor > closed the NewGen WE then the problem didn't happen anymore o_O

Sounds stupid, but are you sure your New-gen editor saves maps to the same path as your standard editor?
Yeah, it saves maps to the same path as the standard WE(D:/Warcraft III/Maps).

EDIT1:
It happened again, 4 times actually, but before the 4th time it happened I decided to record it this time. I was copy-pasting my other(unfinished) GUI projectile system to my current projectile system in vJASS then after I saved, I closed the NewGen WE then re-opened it, then opened my map again to see that the changes I made we're gone again.

EDIT2:
After some testing it seems the problem happens also when I create an variable(Through the variables window) with the type "Attack Type" then when I will save the map then I get this:

Then it will save the map then when I close then reopen the NewGen WE and open my map then that specific variable is gone o_O
