Maybe the name of the Map is just to long to show it in the map selection
make a shorter name of the map : example Wintermaul4w8946w894698w6498623984628946982364982364 would be to long..rename it to Wintermaul and ur done :)

the map was undeadbudgies FFORPG 1.10. the hacked version had -hacked by WC3edit.com behind it, but i removed that allready.
then i thought 2 identical filenames cant be right so i added 2 letters behind it so it looks like this Final_Fantasy_OPRG_v1.0 HA.w3x
dont know, but doesnt look too long to me.

That's a bit odd :P
i think i know why it doesn't show:
U have those _ _ _ things.. delete them and add a <space>..maybe this helps

edit: for some reason i copied the cracked version, then renamed it test and it showed up, dont know why
Final Fantasy OPRG v1.0 HA.w3x <== this was name before
