I wanted to use some ROR maps in original AOE.

If the maps do not have any expansion units placed on them, you can often get away with just changing the file extension, though I have noticed that some of the maps I've done that for have stability issues.

It's mainly the real world maps found here in the downloads section that I wanted to convert. Most of the real world maps are scx or expansion scenario files.

Yeah, in that case I believe you should be fine just changing the file extension from .scx to .scn

I tried on ancient Greece and it didn't work. I tried deleting rocks and things on the terrain that might be ROR related. I changed players around and personalities to AOE compatible ones. However, all tests returned a fail.

I could *try* to have a look if I can do a "save as scn" in rocknror. Not promising anything though

You can sort of do that with your map copy function, though save as scn would be faster. I'm betting it is the version line in the scn data that causes crashes in the first place, it needs to be changed back.
