Hi, I managed to lock one of my maps, and lost the original file. The map is on my account and I can host it on bnet.
Is there a way for me to open my map in the editor or do I have to continue on an older version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Well, I cant say i know how to use the mpq editor, but it seems to need the map on the computer for it to be able to work.
My problem is that i dont have the map on my computer, i need to download it from bnet and continue working on it from there :/
Thx anyway :)
Does anyone know how i can download it from bnet??
i found the best choice for me was to upload to this site and just make it open for everyone. so if you reformat, lose map, lost sc2mapster account. you will be able to get it again. who cares if people see your map and learn from it shit happens >.< :)
Thx for the help :)
I've done everything up to the point of adding the mapfiles, I've added ComponentList.SC2Components, Triggers and Triggers.version.
But when i try and open the map it says "Unable to open archive (Core: unexpected fatal error)"
Does anyone know what i should do?

You can't : (
I believe, in the past a popular mapmaker was able to there lost map through blizzard.....
I've emailed blizzard about this, and i hope they can resolve this... Why couldnt they just used the wc3 style of custom map hosting/playing? :C
well, i hope i can find a not extremely old version of my map :'/
OK heres what you need to do....
find your directory your computer downloads online maps too
not sure if this is really accurate
Delete all the maps in there
download you map by playing it online
open the map with an mpq editor
