wurst fails very ungracefully when used with reign of chaos map files #335

If you try to compile a map written in wurst, but the map file is w3m rather than w3x, it produces very obscure errors about missing mpq objects.

Yes, it is mentioned in the manual. Wurst only supports w3x. https://peq.github.io/WurstScript/installation.html

Indeed, it's also repeated that it's necessary in your tutorials.

Still a bug.

I agree that it is a bug. If I remember correctly, there was something strange about it. There was a reason why we said that we just support w3x. I will have to look into it again.

In the worst case, providing a useful error, for example

Wurst only supports frozen throne map files (.w3x)

would at least prevent issues like #334 :+1:
