The SCN ( SCN) file extension is a scenario created for Age of Mythology, a real-time strategy game released by Microsoft in 2002. The game centers around battling armies from various mythology-inspired cultures, such as Greek, Egyptian, and Norse. The scenarios are saved in the SCN file format and can be used to create custom maps or battles.
What it contains
The SCN file format generally contains a map with specific geometric shapes and objects such as walls, buildings, and units; terrain settings like water levels on the map; unit settings like health and attack power; mission object information; player data like difficulty level and faction; victory conditions; triggers; and dialogue between different players.
Playing a Custom Scenario
Players play custom scenarios by using the “Play Scenario” button within the Age of Mythology editor or by selecting Open then pointing to the desired scenario stored in the.scn file. Players can create characters, choose civilizations, control military units, and battle out a complete war in a scenario's environment.
Similar File Extensions
Similar scenario formats include SCX, used to store Age of Empires 2 scenarios; AOS, used for Age of Empires 3 scenarios; SBX, used for StarCraft scenarios; and ORG, used for WarCraft Orcs & Humans scenarios.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SCN) 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 .SCN 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 .SCN 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 .SCN 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 .SCN extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SCN file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SCN 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 .SCN file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SCN file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SCN file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
