Opening a QCI File

The QCI file type is primarily associated with Source Filmmaker.

QCI	File extension: QCI

What is a QCI file?

QCI files mostly belong to Source Filmmaker. QCI files come in different forms. Their main use is to store bone definition data for animation in the Source Engine. This means they carry skeletal structure information used in tools like Source Filmmaker to define models for animation.

Game Animation: In the game pipeline, these files help set up and control character movement. They are used in Source Filmmaker and in mods like Garry's Mod. Some of these files, for instance, use an internal Source2 format for animation sequences.

Technical Calibration: In other cases, a QCI file can hold inspection or calibration data. Here it appears as a Qualcomm Calibration Information file, such as reports used in wafer inspection.

FilExt.com notes: Use the proper tool to open these files. For game-related QCI files, use the software (e.g., Source Filmmaker or tools like Crowbar). For calibration files, specialized engineering software is needed. More details on the game pipelines are available at Source Filmmaker.

How to open a QCI file

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

Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry Program
MPQC is the Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry Program. It computes properties of atoms and molecules from first principles using the time independent Schrödinger equation. It runs on a wide range of architectures ranging from individual workstations to symmetric multiprocessors to massively parallel computers. Its design is object oriented, using the C++ programming language.

QCI file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the QCI files looks like this:

QCI is not a commonly used file extension and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The following file formats are most commonly found in QCI files:

65% of all QCI files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "$define" at the beginning. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. The files are 11 KB to 13 KB in size, with a median of 12 KB. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. The following keywords are characteristic: 0.000000 0.000000, $definebone "bip_pelvis", "bip_pelvis" 0.000000, $definebone "bip_spine_0" and 000001 0. A usual file name is demo_definebones.qci or heavy_definebones.qci. Files like these have the following tags: definebones, demo, heavy, engineer, pyro, medic, bones, soldier and define.
7% of all QCI files start with the bytes // , which are crucial for this file format. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. QCI files are between 58 bytes and 8 KB in size. The files contain the following words: animations, ------------, // --------- and SEQUENCES. A usual file name is gm_anims.qci. Files like these have the following tags: sequence, declare, anims and base.

The remaining 28% of all QCI files are different files with different signatures, often, for example, TAIWAN. The category is animation, anim or cqpa. If you want to find out what your QCI file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

How to solve problems with QCI files

Associate the QCI file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest QCI file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Source Filmmaker update.
To make sure that your QCI file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
