RE: Just Great. lose my whole map.

Judging from your description of the problem, I'd say a likely thing that your map file was corrupted.

When you try loading a corrupted map file into the editor, the "map" will appear to be completely empty. Does this match what you are experiencing right now?

A further way to confirm it is to try and open up the .map file in notepad, or similar text editing tools to see what the map's map code looks like. Compare it to other maps which do not have problems. If the brackets in the corrupted map's code seem off then your map is corrupted for sure (I assume you know how to identify this as you say you have scripted before)

If you really wish to salvage what you can from the corrupted map I have an idea that may not be perfect, and might be more trouble than its worth (Also I have not tested this, it is a theory):

Open the map in a text editing tool like notepad, and take what code you can from it. Then compare it with other normal map codes, and try to fill in the missing code as best as you can. With luck this will cause the level editor to re-recognize parts of your map depending on how successful you are at reconstructing the code.

This is extremely unrecommended since many maps have thousands of lines of code, and it may be a better idea just to start the map again from scratch, or from whatever backup you may be lucky enough to have.
