What is an HMP file

HMP files mostly belong to HMP Player. HMP files are not one single file type. They can hold different kinds of data:
  • Game Data: Some HMP files contain game data used by classics like Street Fighter 2. They store level details or assets and work with programs such as HMP Player.
  • Map Files: Other HMP files include map information for games. For example, a Metin2 map file is similar to a map from Heroes of Might and Magic III. You can use a dedicated tool like Hero's Map Editor to view them. More information is available here.
  • Compressed Audio: Some versions use the RIFF format to hold MP3 audio data. These serve as compressed audio playlists and are handled by media players like Winamp.
  • Other Game Support: In some cases, HMP files store save data or configuration details for titles such as MechWarrior 5, with utilities like MegaMekLab designed to work with them.
  • FilExt.com note: Determine the file’s origin to choose the proper application for opening or editing it.
