SCM is a format widely used in early StarCraft maps. It is frequently seen in older Melee and Use Map Settings maps created based on original rules and resources.

SCX File
SCX is a map format that uses data and features from the Brood War expansion environment. Many Use Map Settings maps requiring Brood War units and expansion features are distributed as SCX.

Which one should I download?
It is best to download the original file format registered on the site as is. Simply changing the extension will not convert the compatible format, and whether it runs normally may vary depending on the production environment and game version.
