how to play old maps?

[Streamlife]

Hello to all! Well here my Problem

I have alot of old wc3 maps,im interested to play old version but some of these old maps dont work.

For example: I want to play Dota 6.59 but when i try to host it or playing Multi player the game automatically return me to the players screen without loading the map.Only can play thoes in Single player.

This happen for alot of old maps,
I want to know why this happen and how can i resolve this.
I dont understand why some old maps work and some not.
The only Way to play thoes map are Switching to the 1.23 Ver Of Wc3, but i want play it online Whit others and cant ask to all to Switch The game Version Lol-

I have Also many maps made by me and cant Host it on Multiplayer just on single
( and i have many maps prote when i try to open it whit the Exprotect program and open again whit the editWc3 to Save and Try that way.. Cant... the map have mising things any way, i need some Map optimizer or someting ... one jass optinimzer, well dont have idea, i dont make maps since 3 Yeard ago and my brain is empty ^^
Thanks to much and i hope one reply!!one hug to all

DotA 6.59 used some features that were no longer compatible with the patch of 1.23+. This is why you should get the newest map possible. For those maps that are protected and don't work for you, there is not much you can do, just some hope that the creator will update the map to a 1.24+ compatible version.

I can continue this post, by saying that if you have 2 harddrives, like me. You can have warcraft 1.23 on C and 1.24 on D.
