What is a MODULE file?

MODULE files mostly belong to Drupal by Drupal Community. A MODULE file contains a plugin used by Drupal website content management system. This file contains source code written in PHP Programming language. Such a MODULE file provides additional functionality that isn't built into Drupal by default. MODULE is also the filename extension of a module used by Gambas integrated development environment. Video games such as Halo Infinite and Warhammer 40,000 use modules saved in different types of MODULE files. NovelAI text adventure and interactive story telling engine uses a module saved in a MODULE file.

How to open a MODULE file

You need a suitable software like Drupal to open a MODULE 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 MODULE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application.

MODULE file format details:

To view or edit MODULE files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below is our analysis of the MODULE files:

The MODULE file ending includes different formats for different programs. But the following two file formats are common:

55% of all MODULE files use the same file format, which have the signature mohd. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The average file size is 35 MB with most files being between 4 KB and 1 GB in size. The file type is a fairly new file format. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as mohd3 and mohd0. The following filename is common: forge_objects-rtx-new.module or common-rtx-new.module. Files like these are about multiplayer, objects, forge, mainmenu, common, academy, drills and weapon.
15% of all MODULE files are based on the popular config file format. A configuration file is used by computer software to store settings. It consists of a text-based content with a structure and syntax comprising key–value pairs for properties, and sections that organize the properties. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The file size is in the range of 310 bytes to 8 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: Description, ModFolder, UIName, [global], DllName = WXPMod, ModVersion and Playable = 1. The following filename is common: AdeptusMechanicus.module. These files are often associated with points.

All the rest of the MODULE files (30%) have different formats, often, for example, ZIP, JSON and php. Files like these are sometimes linked to tutorial, globals, levels, ready, campaign or server. Just click the "Choose your .module file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your MODULE file is.
