What is an RPL file?

RPL files mostly belong to BeamNG.drive. RPL files serve several specialized functions, and their role is defined by the software that creates them.
For many, these files are game replay recordings that store in‐game actions. For instance, BeamNG.drive uses an Ogg container to save replay data, while other titles like Toribash, Re-Volt, Out of the Park Baseball, and Red Alert 2 record game sessions in their own formats.
Other uses include:

Tax Documents: Some RPL files contain Ukrainian tax reports or tax receipt data.

Video and Compressed Media: Certain RPL files act as compressed video or replay video files, as indicated in formats like ARMovie.

Report Layouts and System Messages: In industrial automation, an RPL file may be a report layout (using a Microsoft Compound format) or even hold messages such as the ICES1_5 type used for customs data.

Executable Formats: A few variants use formats like ELF to support emulators like the Wii U emulator (Cemu).

FilExt.com tips: The internal structure of an RPL file—whether a shell script, an Ogg container, or a compound document—depends on its source. To view or modify one, it is best to use the original application that created it. For game replays, launching the corresponding game (for example, BeamNG.drive or Toribash) is the ideal solution. A text editor might reveal some plain text portions, but complex formats usually need their native software.

How to open an RPL file

You need a suitable software like BeamNG.drive to open an RPL 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 RPL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RPL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

RPL file format:

To find out what program is needed to open RPL files, you need to determine the file format. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the RPL files is as follows:

RPL is a very commonly used file extension and is used by many programs, each with its own file format. The following file formats are most commonly found in RPL files:

15% of all RPL files store the data in the Ogg file format. The Ogg format is an audio file format similar to MP3, but unrestricted by software patents. These files contain text and words as well as binary data. RPL files can be up to 6 GB in size, but are often around 2 MB - 74 MB. The file type is very recent. The keywords OggS, levels, json, info and vehicles are typical for these files. The following filename is common: 2020-06-01 10-30 utah.rpl or 2020-06-01 10-30 west_coast_usa.rpl. Such files sometimes refer to gridmap, utah, coast, west, track, automation, italy and island.
10% of all RPL files start with the bytes TRANSPORTABLE crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are on average 7 KB in size and range from 2 KB to 8 KB. The files contain the following words: FILENAME, RCV_EDRPOU, SUBJECT=, TRANSPORTABLE, EDRPOU=43005393, RESULT=0, RCV_EMAIL, FINKVT=1 and CNCODE=0.

The remaining 75% of all RPL files are different files with different signatures, often, for example, ARMovie video, Deluxe Ski Jump 2 Replay, Farallon Replica document, shell script, DOC, ELF, XML, config, .NET, FRIG, OOTP, RVGL, TSREPL and HREC. Sometimes used for rally, larc, atlantis, games, mulligatawny or highlight. You can get all the details of your RPL file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .rpl file to play" above.
