Can't open a map on SCMdraft

Hello, I'm having trouble opening a few EUD maps. These should unprotected but when I try and open them, I get this error from SCMDraft:

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've uploaded the map file too if that helps

EUD maps cannot be opened in SCMDraft because you are missing the source file.

Example: My Raccoon City EUD map has three files:

1. the input file .scx, it has no EUDs (and the public never sees this file)
2. the .e2s file (the public never sees this file, it sits on the map-makers hard drive), this contains the EUDs that get injected into the map, creating:
3. the final .scx map which is released to the public and contains the EUDs from the .e2s file. SCMDraft will be unable to open it

TLDR: You can't unscramble an egg.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

I think he doesn't want to edit the source files, just open the final map file. How useful that is, is another matter.
