The first thing to do is simply recover from a previous version, ideally the version just before you added the models.

Otherwise there's not much you can do if the map is now unopenable. Some may suggest using a hex editor to manually fix the problem, but that will take forever.

In summary:

(1) Always save your map and keep multiple versions on hand.

(2) When adding (major) new stuff, always create a recovery version before hand.

i dident have much of an idea when i started so i was just creative and added stuff that later envolved to something bigger. Unfortunatly i dident think of making backup. But know when i have an idea, i guess i have to remake it and with a golden opportunity to improve :D

thx for your response
