Accidentally Protected my Map?

I was messing around with my mapfile in WinMPQ, and tried to open it again several times, until I came up with an error saying it has a missing shadow map file, and then missing terrain file. Whats up with that, and is there a way to fix that, by say putting in my own shadow/terrain file, hoping it would rebuild on its own? I can play it fine, but I can't open it in the WorldEdit. >_<;; Thanks in advance,

EDIT: Got another weird error saying: The application has encountered a critical error:

Not enough storage is available to proccess this command.

Program: c:\prgram files\warcraft iii\worldedit.exe
Object: .PAVCTriggerCategory@@



Press OK to terminate the application.

mmmm try opening it using WEU if ur using normal editor, and vice versa if you havent.

If you still can , access the mpq and reset it totally all the changes, theres probly an easy way to do this...but if not i recomend look at all the files within the mpq u were messing//lookin at and copy paste them from the default

good luck

You didn't protect it, you completelly corrupted it.

Well , saving a backup of the map before using winmpq is always a great idea, and you also have to remove the attributes file after editing a map with winmpq otherwise wc3 won't accept it.

And I hope you have Norton System Work, you would be able to recover a version, because WE deletes the map file before creating a new one when 'saving'

Ouch. Well thats some work down the drain. Oh well. >.>

Just for reference so I dont do it again, what file did I delete that caused that?

Thanks.
