If your computer, warcraft, crashes while you are making a map, and you didnt save it, then there is nothing anybody can do. The map is ruined forever, hope you had a back up...

as always backup could be founded at maps\tests
if you run a test game of that map.

P.S. i have a bck.bat file,that instantly make a copy of all files from my directory.So i never loose more than i could.
