Dont save the map thought the trigger box. Just open the map and hit: File -> Save / Save as...

To be sure dont edit the map at all.

Yes... I still do it right, no editing, no saving through trigger box.
Those are just pictures I captured later.
Still I cannot open the map correctly

For some reason map is being parsed successfully though the editor yet it turns out that the script gets corrupted. So edit the map the way you want and each time you wanna play the map replace the script with the original one.. If you want to work on triggers, just edit the script externally.

Is that mean I have to find the script file using MPQEditor and extract that, then I edit the blank "map" with world editor.
If I have to edit the script, just edit the extracted warcraft.j and re-insert it into the game?
Also, I saw no war3map.j there using MPQEditor ...? How can I find war3map.j?

The last edit:
After reading on the internet, I found that actually the editor created "(listfile)" and "(attribute)" file to me and it exist as file00000019.xxx and file00000020.xxx respectively. And the game worked after the annoying (attribute) file which stored a checksum is deleted.
My last question is... the .j file seems really messed up, is there any tools that can re-adjust the formating and line spacing of the .j file so it looks like more readable??

Open the script with jasscraft. http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=80051

What i mean is edit the map the way you want, but in order to play it you have to place the original script of the map into the edited.
