What is a GST file?

GST files mostly belong to BattleScribe. BattleScribe game system files use the GST extension to store game data in an XML format. The XML structure holds data like unit statistics, roster definitions, and rules that drive game systems. Many users edit these files with a text editor or load them into the BattleScribe application for more advanced management. For further details on this use, visit the BattleScribe website.
Some GST files also serve as Ghostscript printer job files. In this context the file – sometimes called a game state file – logs the status of a print job for use by Ghostscript in managing and troubleshooting the print process.

View XML-based GST files in any plain text editor.

Check the file’s internal structure to decide which application applies.

Always save a backup before making any edits.

How to open a GST file

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

GST format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. 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. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the GST files:

GST is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type does not have a uniform file format. The file formats most commonly found in GST files are:

7% of all GST files use the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files contain text and words, not binary data. The files are 79 KB to 7 MB in size, with a median of 890 KB. The keywords <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>, name, battleScribeVersion, gameSystem id and revision are typical for these files. Such GST files store data about fantasy and warhammer.
7% of all GST files use the same file format, which have the signature GRAPHTEC PRT&CUT. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The average file size is 48 KB with most files being between 23 KB and 95 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. GRAPHTEC PRT&CUT. Such files are related to card.

The remaining 86% of all GST files are files with no common format, such as .NET, GEOSET, GEO and GST. The category is table, english, string, transmutes, formulas or start. If you want to find out which format your GST file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .gst file to analyze".
