Screwed my map, help!!

[RobertMKD]

I've imported a custom model based on a missile in my map, and tried to test the map, but an error occur and War3 closed. The model was a box, so I've restarted WE cause I wanted to see how does my model look like when a unit uses it, but then when I tried to open my map, WE crashed and it won't open it, how do I restore my map?

If you tested the map BEFORE the import, You can go into you warcraft 3 directory and try opening the map in your test folder.

"I think" You also could try opening the broken map with an MPQ editor and delete the imported model through that.

Okay, I've recovered it, thanks xD

Can you just tell me why may things like these occur?

Wrong texture path could cause that.

Always first import the stuff and then save the map. Then go to object editor or trigger editor to do stuff. This way the imported thing will show up right away in the editor if it is imported correctly.

But crashing the map in WE only happens with corrupted models afaik.
At least I have never seen WE crash for another reason (repeatedly).

Try reconverting the models.

Well, it did appeared, if it didn't how could I make a unit use it?
