I have Starcraft: Brood War, so why can't I use this format?
None.
.scx?
Hey, I was just wondering what .scx format was.
I have Starcraft: Brood War, so why can't I use this format?

SCX = Star Craft Expansion, if it's saved in .SCX it's because its only playable with starcraft brood war.
None.
Okay, well, I have Brood War, yet I can't open .scx files. What's wrong?
None.
'Open' you mean open them in a map editor a presume? Make sure the map isn't protected. Another tech nerd might have to anwser your question, I'm better with trigger help then actual starcraft mess ups.
None.
Well, when I download maps from the site and try to open them, it gives me an error 'Please make sure that the file is a valid Starcraft data file.'
None.
Try to just open a regular Blizzard made .scx map.
None.
Yeah, that worked.
None.
Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!
That means the map you wanted to open before was protected so that most people wouldn't be able to open it

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]
NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.[2026-7-16. : 6:25 am]

not the map, the editor[2026-7-16. : 2:28 am]
Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology[2026-7-15. : 8:51 pm]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.[2026-7-15. : 4:10 am]
Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
