Can't open map file anymore...

I was using scmd2 and did a few things like edit triggers and use the trigedit on it. After a point, when I wanted to save triggers, I opened up xtraEdit and tried to open the map... but it says can't be opened anymore T_T it's the same message is if the map were protected.

What should I do?



None.

What do you mean by save triggers? You shouldn't jump around from editor to editor, you're prone to get problems like this.



None.

Sometimes if you are playing the map on bnet to test and try to open it while your playing, it won't open.

You also can't save a map that is running in SC.



None.

scmd2 doesn't provide the "Save triggers" thing, right? I've worked around it by directly copy and pasting the word-processed triggers into the trigEdit.

Does it still open in SCM Draft? If so, why not just stick with it?



None.

Always create your map in a stable editor before moving to another. SCX-tra being the most stable (And least modded) should be a start, if not Staredit.exe itself.

Trust me, you start a map in SF, you'd better stay with SF.

Not so much as that I wont stick with scmd, but rather, an option has been taken out and whatever I may have done slightly worries me.

Can you post the map and we'll see if we can fix it?

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
