What is an LMD file?

LMD files mostly belong to FCS Express 6. LMD files are not of one single type. Instead, LMD is used by different applications to store specialized data. The format depends on the origin of the file. For example:

Flow Cytometry Data: This variant holds experimental data from flow cytometry. It is used with FCS Express 6 and related tools. More details can be found at denovosoftware.com.

Lua Module Definitions: Some LMD files contain Lua code modules that automate tasks in LuaMacros. These files even use an internal EXE structure. Check more at lua.org.

Game Archives: Certain files use GZIP compression to pack game assets. They can hold archives with textures, sounds, or models used by various games.

Machine Tool Data: In other cases, an LMD file stores milling or drilling instructions for CircuitCAM used by LPKF machines. For further information, visit lpkf.com.

3D Models and Game Data: Other LMD files can contain 3D model information and game text. They are used in titles like Pokémon Masters EX, Total War: Shogun 2, League of Legends, and by CRI Middleware's tools. An example project is detailed at projectpokemon.org.
Functionality: Each file acts as a container that preserves data in the format expected by its parent application. To open and view an LMD file, you must use the program for which it was designed. Analyzing the file header or source can help decide which application is required.

FilExt.com usage tip: If you are unsure of the file’s purpose, try opening it with a text editor to check for clues like header information or keywords. This may direct you to use FCS Express, LuaMacros, CircuitCAM, or the particular game software.

LMD file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Below you will find our evaluation of the LMD files:

The LMD file extension is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. But the following two file formats are common:

• 35% of all LMD files start with the bytes FCS crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are often between 160 KB and 5 MB in size. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. The following keywords are characteristic: FCS2. Files like these have the following tags: cells, protocol and sample.
• 15% of all LMD files are using the well-known EXE file format to store the data. EXE is the abbreviation for executable and is the standard executable file format on Windows. The format can be identified by the letters "MZ" at the beginning. Executable files can also be used to distribute viruses and other types of malicious software (malware). They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are often between 53 KB and 560 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: !This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Examples of file names are Download.lmd or JSON.lmd. Files like these are about sqlite.

The remaining 50% of all LMD files are different files with different signatures, the following 8 formats can be found: GZIP, LMD, PlayerCurrentLook and LPKF. The category is league, meter, normal, talk, msgchap or data. Just click the "Choose your .lmd file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your LMD file is.
