What is a DKX file?

DKX files mostly belong to Submarine Titans by Ellipse Studios. Both the subtitans.com and ellipsestudios.com brought up "under construction" pages at the time I checked this. Each zipped battle map includes a .DKD and a .DKX file. When the player downloads the files, they must place them into the Custom folder, located in the root of the Submarine Titans directory. To access these battles, they must go into Solo Game | Battles and choose either one.

Can't Open Your .DKX File? Try These Steps

Since .DKX files come from different programs, they aren't universally openable.

  1. Identify the Source: A retro gaming forum suggests a Submarine Titans Battle Map, while a developer might send proprietary game data.
  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a text editor or hex viewer.
    • Readable XML/JSON suggests a configuration file.
    • "PK" indicates a standard ZIP archive.
    • Unreadable binary data often points to a compiled game map.
  3. Use the Original Software: You usually need the original program to open it. Try Ellipse Studios' Submarine Titans or a compatible map editor; if uncertain, ask the sender.
  4. Use this Webpage: Drag and drop the file into our viewer to detect the format, extract readable text or metadata, and preview contents when possible.
