ccidentally corrupted a map

SO I was making this map I've been working on the kikass triggers for long enough, when my triggedit crashed one second before I save, and I saved while triggedit crashed (on SCMDraft).

I NEED to know how to find the backup files if there is any, can anyone point me where to go? Help me please it took me 2 hours to do theese triggers and I already don't remember how I did them!

Edit: Okay, I looked up on google for the .scmddb extension file, it is the backup I think, and I want to go look inside it to take back my corrupted map, can I and if I can, how?

None.

My computer doesn't recognise the application needed to open the file, its not a map, not a folder, i don't know how to open it.

Edit: Fail big time, i tryed to manually open with SCMDraft but it glitched more and always try to open with SCMDraft when I click on it.

I added the map and a file that got created when I tried to open the map from another folder.

Edit: Since the incident, I keep having the ''SOmething bad happened'' Message, about triggedit.

That's a temp file. It looks to my unwise eyes that your map got erased.

nothing to do, opening the backup database fucks everything up... ah well, at least I only worked around 2 hours on this map, but I hope i'l be able to replicate the triggers, I had a complicated regenerating vHP I was going to test...

Edit: Thats it, close this topic before I cry, I deleted my map. I'l have to do it all again, I dont remember right now what are the triggers I made, I hope I will have them abck tomorow...

I accidentally the whole map.

but seriously, save often. It's not too hard to open up the triggers in a hex editor and copy/paste them back into the map.

I save every 5-6 minutes. It is not the problem, I saved one milisecond before SCMDraft crashes, wich corrupted the map.

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
