What is an MLK file?

MLK files mostly belong to Mount & Blade Warband. MLK files have two main uses. They can be used as Mount & Blade game files that store mod data. This means they include game settings, configuration, and content needed to customize or run game mods, especially in Mount & Blade Warband.
They are also seen as Kingsoft Presentation files where they may hold slide layouts and presentation data.

For game mods, these files are managed by the game engine and mod tools.

For presentation use, they work with Kingsoft Presentation software.

MLK file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the MLK files looks like this:

MLK is seldom used as a file extension and is used by different programs with different formats. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 25% of all MLK files start with the bytes FF 93 16 1E 1E 1E 1E 1E 1E, which are crucial for this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. MLK files can be up to 11 KB in size, but are often around 870 bytes - 6 KB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. A usual file name is campaign.mlk or farms.mlk.
• 9% of all MLK files start with the magic bytes 5D 00 00 10 00, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. MLK files can be up to 7 KB in size, but are often around 230 bytes - 4 KB.

All the rest of the MLK files (66%) have different formats, often e.g. MikroE MCU definition. The category is admin, mieadvanced, miebasic or macros. Just click the "Choose your .mlk file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your MLK file is.
