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.

A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ.
