Open up Xtra. Make a SCM map. Save it. Open it in SCMdraft. Place brood war units. Save. It will tell you that theres a version compatibilty (which is supposed to happen). But wait, when its trying to get you to save it, it saves it as scm and doesn't give you the error anymore. When you open it in xtra, it then saves it properly as scx. Even if you rename it to scx, xtra doesn't THINK its an scx.
Well, I got a suggestion for when you're in that saving compatibilty thing. It should automatically detect if a map is broodwar or starcraft, and ask you if you want to resave or auto-rename (maybe even an option). On autorename, it'll automatically take the map, and save it as scm or scx, depending on the compatibilty. It will do all this without telling you

I can't tell you how many times I told SI before the final release to fix this. Its a lot. I have chat logs to prove it. I swear!

Yea I knew about it, and thought I had fixed it, its even in the bug list. However the fix must have been lost when I moved the source control server or something, cause I'll have to redo it.

So does this mean that you'll have to make like a SCMdraft2.1 or something? Or did I misunderstand you.

My main thing is, I don't know many people who need the scm and the scx versions of the same map. So, just have it automatically rename its extention.

I prefer a warning screen to doing something in the background, or there will be people who are wondering why when loading their map their changes never show up etc. Also if they dont have BW they will then know they cannot play the map
ADDITION:
Yoshi, drop me a line in MSN for a version that may have this fixed (I hope)
