Old melee data in custom maps?

Short Version:
My custom map seems to be getting its object data from an older version of warcraft. Why does this happen, and how can I make it use the most up-to-date object data?

Long Version:
I'm currently working on a map to test different melee armies. Basically, I've copied Gnoll Wood and expanded the map to add boundary-bordered areas where players can build an army in comfort and safety, before being teleported into the regular start locations to fight it out. When the battle is over, the map can reset.

I'm using some custom unit data (I've changed all build/upgrade/research times to zero, changed some hero settings to get the hero reset triggers to work..).

Anyway, all that works more or less fine, with one major exception. The game mechanics seem to be those of an older version.. I'm not sure how old exactly, but some problems my friends and I found in testing were gryphons doing piercing damage (instead of magic), being unable to revive other people's tauren, being unable to use siphon mana to give friendly units mana and banshees casting possess instantly.

Checking the original Gnoll Wood map I copied the object editor stats appear fine, and I definitely didn't make the changes as part of my map. Playing the map also caused no problems. What I found was that changing just one value in the unit data - hence making the map a custom map - caused all the unit data to revert to that of the earlier version. However, the data didn't revert immediately. I could save the map, and the world editor still displayed the normal data. But when I closed then reopened the map I found it using the old data. I tried making copies of the units (I'd previously just been editing the melee units directly) but the old data persisted.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can incorporate the most up to date melee object data into my map?

From the main WE window, go to Scenario>Map Options... and look at the Game Data Set value on the bottom. Try setting it to "Melee (Latest Patch)".

Oh how simple. Thanks!

You're welcome; glad it worked. It's usually easy to diagnose a problem when the symptoms are so clearly given.
