What is an HXC file?

HXC files mostly belong to Psych Engine. An HXC file may serve two distinct purposes.

Mod file use: This version is used in Friday Night Funkin' mods. It works with a Psych Engine modding script where the file holds mod data that alters game behavior. You can find such mods on sites like GameBanana.

Help collection file use: In another case, the file is an XML-based help collection. It stores help topics for use with Microsoft Help 2.0 Runtime and is viewed with Microsoft Help Viewer.

FilExt.com tip: If you have an HXC file, checking its content with a text editor can help you decide which tool to use to open it.

How can I open an HXC file?

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

HXC file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored 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. In the following you will find our evaluation of the HXC files:

You will often come across the HXC file type. This mainly uses a special format. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 85% of all HXC files are based on the well-known Source file format. A source code is the set of instructions written by a programmer using a computer programming language like JavaScript, C++ or Basic. This code is translated into machine language by a compiler. The translated result is called app, program or executable. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. A typical file size is 3 KB. The file type was created recently. The following keywords are characteristic: import funkin.play.PlayState;, import flixel.FlxG;, import funkin.modding.module.Module; and util. Some examples of file names are MobileFix.hxc or bf.hxc. These files are attributed to mobile, qtstage, menu, module, event, character, health, alley and note.
• 3% of all HXC files are using the well-known XML file format to store the data. 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 800 bytes to 1 KB in size, with a median of 1 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <!DOCTYPE HelpCollection>, <?xml version="1.0"?>, DTDVersion, Title, FileVersion and LangId. Examples of file names are Hx.HxC.

All other HXC files (12%) have no uniform format, the following 3 formats exist: CProgramResData. Tagged as pico, change, cross, indie, play, handler, drain or state. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your HXC file!
