Hey hmm, I spent my whole day yesterday working on this map, and by the time I was done, about 4 in the morning, I saved it just by clicking the save button (actually, I did clicked a lot of times throughout the making, Idk just a habit of mine)

But anyways, today when I woke up, and went and opened the Map File and for my surprise and deception, none of the changes I did yesterday were made.
I have no idea of what happened, I started looking around other maps to see if I didn't save it with a different name but at the end I couldn't find a different named file being the map with the changes I've made.

Anyone has a guess of what could've happened or maybe an auto-saved file that might retrieve it (Idk, I tested the map a lot and that should save the map as well)

I appreciate anything you guys might know
Thanks!

well the thing about saving is, theres a certain limit to how many times you can save on the same file name, so from time to time, when you save add a ~1, ~2 or something at the end of the file name. This happend to me and then i realized this. Esspecially big changed to the map, if you added a few KB's of data then you should probably change the file name

Are you running windows 7 / vista? If you are be sure to run world editor as administraitor or else it will not save. It will say it does but.. It doesn't
