W3M to W3X

[Titotulky]

Hello how can I save my map w3m into w3x. Ive tried everything only thing I cant find the WC3 Map Header Editor to edit the war3map.w3i and change flag melee to expansion and the other option I see is to edit with hexadecimal system.
What you guys think, I dont wanna restart the map and copy everything
any ideas?

? The option should be in the drop down menu when you save the map

The map is probably corrupted or you didn't saved your map in a correct path (namely "Documents\Warcraft III\Maps"). Make sure you followed Chaosium's suggestion. That's the only legit way for this trick.

Also, I believe a W3M map will only be saved as W3X if you added TFT-related stuffs in the World Editor. That's a shame because in Reforged every new map you created were now saved as W3M.

I don't think Refroged associates any icon to .w3x files like TFT did.
