My laptop was recently stolen, so I lost my map. I have no backup of it and its locked.
Ive looked at how to get the map back by opening the sc2ma file, but this file seems to be a folder and the only thing inside it is a hardtile.bin which is 1byte. Also Im not sure how to open this file in the mpq editor as it just opens the folder.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you played /downloaded your map on battlenet it should be saved into cache form of *.s2ma. Usually you could just search the entire cache folder (depends on computer/OS) for battlenet with *.s2ma. Copy all of them into a temp folder, mass rename them to *.sc2map and then open them with the editor like normal. (if the map is not locked you can open it)

What do I do if its locked? Is there a way to salvage parts of the map?. Namely terrain
EDIT: never mind, I opened it. Thanks for the help
Sorry to hear about your laptop. :(
Happy to hear you got your map back, sorry for the theft :(
