So yeah creating abilities and when to remove some validators in the data for my effects and my whole computer freezes up for thirty minutes. Yes I waited thirty minutes because I was hoping it would unfreeze, I still ended up losing the abilities I've been working on for the past three days...
Yes I did save my work in those three days, and I save it like every 10 minutes or less while working, but my map disappeared, only leaving a file that when I click on it shuts down my editor! I have a back-up map, which is what I haven't saved in three days...stupid me but I only save my back up if I have some sort of epiphany and create a bunch of triggers or I download some assets and/or risk my map into losing it completely.
This time I was just creating abilities the old classic way by rummaging through the data editor and duplicating some effects and altering them to make things go well.
So first off:
- How do I recover it, I'm able to open other maps, but not that one, and I didn't even change the validators I just click on em.
Second:
- Has this ever happened to anyone?

Open the map with a MPQ editor, see what's in there. Salvage everything you can, replace what's missing or broken with the backup.
