New to world editor, .w3x files?

A few days ago one of my friends sent me one of his beta maps to test. Everything worked fine, but I wanted to see how he did some of the stuff inside world editor. I opened the map edited it a little and saved it under a different name and closed the editor. I went to go test my newly edited map in warcraft, but I noticed it wasn't in the list. I went back into the editor and tried to open the file. Nothing was saved. It was just a blank map, all my work was lost! I noticed that all the other maps in my downloads folder were saved as .w3m files, while my map was a w3x file.

So, my question is, what are .w3x files and how do I convert them to .w3m files/make them playable? Was this caused by me not "decompiling" the map into an editable format?

Also, If it helps, I have W3:ROC not TFT.

Thanks, Kawnsull.

A .w3x file merely refers to it as TFT with TFT functions.

.w3m is for ROC.

Your friend probably has TFT and most likely has models/spells/ etc that are not included in the ROC version. Therefore you cannot convert from .w3m to .w3x. Sorry mate.

The original file is a .w3m, its only when I save it, it gets converted to a .w3x.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
