I downloaded the new FTB Unleashed pack today and it is amazing. Red Power was good but meh, we will live :) Created a new map and tested it, got good results. So I wanted to copy my old DW20 map, thinking it removes the old/removed blocks from the map anyway and I thought I could fix the problems. But it didn't even load. I don't want to lose the map I have played for months... Starting from the beginning is always a nuisance. Now I am here, asking the community about a way to convert old maps to new ones, if there is one.
 
I'm sorry to say that is not really possible and the FTB team makes that fact very clear in the announcement for the new packs.

At the very most you may be able to get it to load by using midas gold or a similar program to manually remap the block ids but said process is very time consuming and problematic. Also to make matters worse the new packs are using a wildly different set of mods so even if you do get it to load you will run into horrible issues to the point where it is basically pointless to try.

In other words it is never a good idea to get attached to any world while playing modded minecraft especially if you ever want to update your mods. As it is truly impossible to future proof a world no matter what any one says.
 
You could try mIDas Gold. It's a tool for changing block/items IDs around. Obviously, back up your world before messing with IDs in case you royally screw up and turn dirt into machine blocks. Although you won't need to actually touch any Vanilla IDs so that won't happen.

Thanks, Hyperme, I will try to work with it. Also, dgdas9, I have already started from the beginning, but I do not want to lose the buildings since I have spent so much time on them. Want to keep the map just for the buildings, not machines or ages, etc.

You keep the saves, you can always open up another pack to view your buildings. Also, make imgur albums of your buildings.

Just a suggestion: Make a thread with screenshots of all of your buildings. Then, make a thread of your progression in-game.
