I have found a way to do this. This allows users who switch from non expansion to expansion to be able to run their scenarios almost exactly how they would on non expansion. This includes:
Lack of expansion units
Variations in playing mode - e.g. tornados suck up trees rather than just flattening them
only non expansion commands run
How to do it:
Find your none expansion scenario and simply change the extension of it from scn to scx. If the extension is hidden you will need to enable viewing hidden extensions by changing that option in the folder options.
Now unlike before you should be able to run the non expansion scenario in non expansion mode online rather than converting it to expansion now because you will now be able to select your non expansion scenario in the scenario list unlike before.
p.s. might be able to find some cool tricks using this
