I'm relatively new to mapping in HL2...I'm not even sure if this is a HL1 or 2 board, but the editor's the same anyway, so here goes...

I started a map, worked on it for hours...and periodically compiled it, and ran it to do a test run and see how it looked...it was for HL2 deathmatch...

I kept saving it now and then over the same name, and my son went to do something after I saved the map, and closed the program...but, when I went to reload the map a couple hours later after he was done...the map went back to what it looked like so many hours before...

What do you think I did wrong...? Is this something that can happen?...or did the map maybe save somewhere else...

Any help would be great...

You might have been saving it in a different folder. I know I do this a lot by accident, check your folder where you think you saved it and also check your HL2dm and HL2 folders.

This belonged in the Source Design Questions forum. HL2 uses the Source engine.

Take heart my friend. :)

One day, when you are a better mapper, you will realize how utterly pants your first map was, and how you grieved unneccessarily :P

Grieve well for now, and redo the map! :)

P.S. I've found personally when this has happened to me, and I have to rebuild a map, I generally do it 10 times better better than the first go
! :o
