I've scripted about a dozen maps, but never saw this problem. I've even put in some deliberate bad code, and didn't get the scar error pause that you usually get when you start a game.

The map was renamed from another map, but it uses the new name to load or save all the new mapname*.* files, so I don't suppose it's saving the old name internally.

Has there been a change to how you associate a script with a map? Is the current map builder buggy?

I don't see any relevant options in the Scenario Properties. Am I overlooking something?

Well, I remember I had an issue with renamed map (sorry dont remember what kind exactly) and the solution was to match a mapfile name with fields in Scenario Properties.

When renaming a map, I recommend "Save As" from the editor into a new folder.
Then any associating files created and copy paste the content in the new folder. Technically this isn't required, but for me, it's best practice, so I don't overlook renaming a file, especially if the old and new names are similar.

Also, I recommend not using special chars in the file names (This may have been patched at some point, but originally this caused a lot of problems)
No spaces, "-"...ect
Instead, use only Numbers, underscore "_", and letters
