I had created a map a while back and put a lot of work into it.
I wiped my hard drive so i lost the editor info.
When i log into the map editor now, I can see my map on the Manage Published Files, and I hit the download button; however, it will not open the map in the editor. I am assuming because under "locked" it says "Yes". Is there a way for me to get this map into the editor again? What did I download when i hit that button, and where did the information go?
You were downloading the terrain image of the map.
It is possible to recover maps, but you will lose everything you've put into the triggers as that information isn't included when a locked file is published.

@baca25: Go
If you want more information on how you could download your map, you can take a look at this thread HERE that was created just recently.
