Oh no :( Radiant possibly crashed while saving. Try to open the .bak file or a snapshot.

Just rename the files to .map or type *.* (to view all files) in the open dialog box.

".bak" means backup, so if you rename it "mymapname.map", you can open it with the editor.

Another way to fix your map is by opening it with Wordpad. Right at the top it will have the worldspawn properties. Here is an example of what you SHOULD see:

{
"suncolor" "70 70 70"
"ambientlight" "17 17 17"
"classname" "worldspawn"
// brush 0
{
etc...

That classname line is probably what got messed up. You can correct the text and save it just like any other text file.
