Map Repair

Hi :)

In first I am sorry for my grammar, I don't very well speak English, but I hope that you understand me. I´m from Slovakia :)

I have problem with my map, it is not very cool map, but one time when I want to open it and editing it wrote one error: In English someting like that:

Error

Can´t open My computer/C/Program files..

- Can´t open basic file of map.

I have elder variant of this map, but I lose lot of work if I edit Elder one. I with my friend test many sorts of Repair, but it doesn´t work. I attach this map there. Please help me.

Thank you very much!

Did you use a program like Vexorian's Map Optimizer or something to "protect" the map?

That error is typical of corruption by world editor during the save. Could you post an actual screenshot of the error? I am not able to use WE right now.

Thank you for posts :)

To Pyrogasm: No, I in this map don´t use any Protection and something like Protection.

To Vexorian: There is, I attach it to this post, I hope that help you. :)
Zoom it for better look and for read the text

But it is in Czech language, but I write a translation

In top of Error- Chyba (Czech)- Error (English)

Under top of Error- Soubor nelze nahrat'C\:Documents and Seetings\______\Maps\FrozenThrone\Ine mapy\Nase mapy\Warcraft.w3x' (Czech) In English Someting like this: Can't load file C\:Documents and Seetings\______\Maps\..

In bottom of Error- In Czech- Nelze otevrit hlavni soubor mapy. In English, my translate- Can't open basic file of map.

Many thanks for help

Yep I would say it is a save corruption. Not even an mpq editor can open it right now, I would say you are going to have to restart again from that old copy.

It is a good idea to make frequent backups, this is not the first map World Editor kills and it will not be the last...

Also, Thank you very much, you said it nice I advice from it

yeah, I actually accidentally opened the map with a hex editor, it is full of zero bytes...

Several of my maps have been destroyed by this, so either use a backup map file and alternate saves between them or save the map as a new version every hour or so (0.01, 0.02, etc)
