w3m wanting to save as w3x

half the w3m maps i look at now open fine in the RoC editor and never give a hint as to anything is wrong, until it is time to save the map... the maps will not save as w3m... they will only save as w3x... this is making me steam... theres a few maps that the creators of them have left battle.net with no intention of ever returning that made decent maps, yet left some bugs and stuff in them that needs to be fixed... but, the maps are w3m RoC maps only wanting to save as w3x maps... i do not see any TFT units or anything in theses maps... even if there was TFT units in the maps, how in the world did they save as w3m and play just fine in RoC before fixes were applied to them? this is just plain annoying, there has to be an answer to this madness...

Look at the Scenario - Map Description menu. You can see there if the expansion is required and why.

ok, i had my friend who has TFT look in the map description area and he told me that it said there was a problem with the object editor... so, i went on a deleting spree until it saved as w3m... then took what seemed forever to narrow the units down and found that two units that i had narrowed down to being the problem were using the catapult projectile from TFT... this is freakin annoying... is there no better way of doing this?

doesn't the m in .wcm mean Melee?...so once you start doing things to the map that wouldn't allow it to be melee (such as custom units), it can no longer be saved as one?
