The SCB file extension is associated with the Command & Conquer World Builder software, an application used for creation, editing and use of custom levels for popular real-time strategy video games. It is a proprietary, domain-specific language commonly used to quickly create terrain levels such as woodland areas, ravines, and rivers for game development. The SCB file stores encoded data representing the customization details of the levels, including textures, terrain types, map objects, and more.
Technical Specs
The SCB files are a specific type of text document written in XML format and compressed with Gzip, making it light to store and easy to share. It has a strict structure including several categories of data fields which are labeled with predefined keywords for readability during development by the author. All comments stored in the SCB files are wrapped in special tags - "", with a comment between them.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file formats used by the Command & Conquer World Builder software include: WAC, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, .S2A, S2B, .S2C
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SCB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SCB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SCB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SCB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SCB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SCB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SCB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SCB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SCB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SCB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
