error open a map

[player_number_2:(]

Hello, I have a little problem opening my map in doom builder, when I enter Doom Builder and I'm going to try to enter my map (EVILPORTAL) which is a map that I'm creating and has been in development for some time, I go to OPEN MAP and when I put the map file (EVILPORTAL.wad) I press ok, but an error message appears saying: please select a map to edit. But I'm trying to understand why it asks to load when it's already there (please answer me, I haven't even finished the map and it took me a long time to get to the last point)

That's not an error message, it's asking you which map in the wad you want to edit.
WADs can contain multiple maps so it can't just guess this information, seeing computers aren't psychic.

I don't understand your Portuguese but your translation turns out as:

but I don't have any maps in my pack

@Edward850 seems to me the OP does not have an IWAD listed.

[player_number_2:(]

but do you have a solution?

Have you loaded up an IWAD, like Doom2?

[player_number_2:(]

yes

OP, post the wad. Maybe we can help.

[Dusty_Rhodes]

Actually, OP, is this a Doom2 wad? If so, click on the map format section and move it to Doom2 format. Doom format maps have levels listed as E1M1, E1M2, etc. Doom 2 format maps are listed as MAp01, Map02, etc.

 

Na verdade, OP, isso é um maço doom2? Se assim for, clique na seção formato do mapa e mova-o para o formato Doom2. Mapas do formato Doom têm níveis listados como E1M1, E1M2, etc. Os mapas do formato Doom 2 estão listados como MAp01, Map02, etc.

 

This is from Google Translate, hope it helps OP

No. You can use DB without an IWAD, it doesn't care. @player_number_2:('s issue is they need to flick through the game configurations, or their map outright doesn't exist in the wad they are loading.

[player_number_2:(]

look, my discord is vexin#0210, maybe i can send my wad for you guys to try to do something.

Na verdade, OP, isso é um maço doom2? Se assim for, clique na seção formato do mapa e mova-o para o formato Doom2. Os mapas do formato Doom0 são executados como MAp.

 

Isso é do Google Translate, espero que ajude OP

or I can send you my map wad so you can try to move my map format to doom 2 (because for some reason I couldn't, but I think it works, I'm really dumb)

 

[player_number_2:(]

would i be able to contact you on discord or somewhere else

 

[ramon.dexter]

Post the wad here so others can look into it.

[player_number_2:(]

my wad is more than 25 mb, I can't send it here.

Try mediafire. Or make yourself a google account, which comes with free 5 gigs of cloud space. Or any other sharing services. Paste a link here.

uhoh, this is not good. I'll send you private message.

Spoiler

However, slade shows this is definetly not an empty file.

[player_number_2:(]

so I think there is no solution, there would be no way to open the map, right?

[player_number_2:(]

but wait a minute, my wad would be like a folder, and in that folder would be my map, but my map for some reason wouldn't be there, and then my wad would just be a DB folder, but without a map?

[DarkIceCyclone]

Fair warning, it's a bit rambling, but heres the video about restoring the wad file. 
Fair warning 2: My interface is in Estonian. As a result, you have to find the "rename" button on your system respectively.
