Opening a NOB File
The NOB file type is primarily associated with 7-Zip.
What is a NOB file
NOB files mostly belong to 7-Zip. This file extension is used to store data in different ways. Some NOB files are compressed archives that hold game assets, while others contain XML-based navigation objects or proprietary game data for specific games.
File Uses:Game Archive: These files use the ZIP format to bundle game assets. They are common in titles such as Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and BloodRayne 2. Navigation Data: In some cases, the file uses XML to store navigation objects, as seen in Navionics Boating HD and Rose Point Coastal Explorer. More information can be found at Navionics. Game Data: Other instances serve as data files for game levels and resources. They are used in games like Neverwinter Nights, Fallout 2, and Age of Empires. Details are available at GOG. How to Open:
If the file is a ZIP archive, use a tool like 7-Zip. XML files can be opened in any text or XML editor. For proprietary game data files, use the game-specific tools or community utilities.
FilExt.com note: The same extension can hide different internal structures, so the method to open a NOB file depends on its use.

NOB file format:
If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the NOB files looks like this:
NOB is seldom used as a file extension and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 35% of all NOB files use ZIP compression, so several files are combined and compressed into one NOB file. 86 to 240 compressed files are common. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. The average file size is 96 MB with most files being between 1 MB and 200 MB in size. Levels.nob or LMaterials.nob is a typical file name. Such files sometimes refer to local, resource, sounds and pack.
- 20% of all NOB files have the same signature NOB. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The average file size is 15 MB with most files being between 7 MB and 96 MB in size.
All the rest of the NOB files (45%) have different formats, such as XML and IMFAT. Often described as master. If you want to find out what your NOB file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
