What is an ALA file

ALA files mostly belong to CryEngine. ALA files are not a single file type; they are used in several domains.
  • 3D Animation: The most common use is as a 3D animation file for game characters and objects. This format is used by CryEngine to store keyframes, rigging, and motion data. More details are available at CryEngine.
  • Logic Analyzer Data: some of ALA files use the Microsoft Compound format to store data from instruments like the Tektronix TLA7000 Series Oscilloscope. These files collect digital signal information and are used with analysis software such as Logic 2. See Tektronix for further information.
  • Quran Audio: some of the files are used to store Quran recitations managed by Athan Basic. This audio format is designed for playback of religious recitations and can be explored at Islamic Finder.
  • Word Processor Template: some serve as template files for the Alawayah word processor. They may use the TIFF format internally to store layout or design settings, resembling an AbiWord template.
  • FilExt.com tip: Each ALA file carries data specific to its field. To open a given ALA file, it helps to check its metadata or header to know if it belongs to game animation, logic analysis, audio, or document template usage.

    How do you open ALA files?

    You need a suitable software like CryEngine to open an ALA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ALA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ALA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
